Shut The Light

SHUT THE LIGHT ON ME
 SHUT THE LIGHT ON ME

 I'm trapped in the haunted house on Diamond Road
 Feel like I'm dying but I'm not old
 This summer was a [bad word] winter's dead cold
 Diamonds and gold chains and bring back the old shame
 Knock, knock. Who is this? Oh, another no-name
 People always drop by, couldn't they just walk by?
 Dudes wearing tight shirts with forearms like Popeye
 Four dudes in one car with one girl, come on, guys
 At least I head the boxing glove when mad on those oxy drugs
 Robbing out for 99, I was fighting on the Greyhound bus
 Survival for us is like the Swiss army knife
 Party round the world, I've been in this group a third of my life
 Yo, you heard of us, right? We're the grindhouse trio
 On a riverboat to Rio, this existence so surreal 
 Our brother fell down, we still around, we keep it real
 But suckers be like playing themselves to have mash peal

 There are things we cannot know
 Invisible hands that guide the show
 I'm up above
 Sometimes you are forced to go
 Far away and shut the door to the one you love

 SHUT THE LIGHT ON ME
 SHUT THE LIGHT ON ME

 My life is flowing down the drain
 Knowing that I'm blowing it and I'm going insane
 I was running wild like a horse without the reins
 Last five years still coursing through my veins
 Damage to my brain, I am trapped and I am changed
 [bad word] it if I play it, man, I have to fly again
 We're soaring, now I'm falling, now I'm looking for a landing field
 I'm going a million miles a minute but I'm standing still
 I'm in danger, I'm an angel with a dirty face
 I'm a stranger, lone ranger in a hurting place
 I had to make a choice and walk away from past
 I walk a lonely path that only I can grasp
 Was living in a ghost town, Disneyland on acid
 Four hours away, I could hear my city laughing
 All I want is hunger back and I will try my hardest
 From everything to nothing, back to being a starving artist

 How can I forgive myself for what is done?
 Avoiding your memory like a vampire does the sun
 Know I want your love, all I want is your love
