Stuck in this prison cell
Have locked myself up
A never-ending carousel
Slowly going in for the close up
Been scared so long of being found out
Of getting caught red handed
But now I finally left my hideout
Like my conscience has demanded
Leave all the lights on
Leave all the lights on
Leave all the lights on
So I can find home
But the chains that bind my heart
Will never break apart
Like ancient abstract art
My timer to restart
It doesn't matter what I do
If nothing ever gets through to you
I think it's time for a fresh start
Let's tear this new world apart
I knew the rules I broke
I didn't fear the consequences
But now I feel like I might choke
Maybe I've come to my senses
My mind has started to decay
Tears are flooding my lungs
Maybe just another misplay
I can hear them speaking in tongues
Leave all the lights on
Leave all the lights on
Leave all the lights on
So I can find home
But the chains that bind my heart
Will never break apart
Like ancient abstract art
My timer to restart
It doesn't matter what I do
If nothing ever gets through to you
I think it's time for a fresh start
Let's tear this new world apart
Take this to heart
Take this to heart
Take this to heart
Patterns repeating
My chances are fleeting
Even though you keep pleading
Your arts are deceiving
Endlessly teasing
Forever believing
I am losing my ground
I am losing my sound
Do you know
What you're still fighting for
What has lead you this way
To the future you could not see
You know that I'll stay by your side
Your trusting devotee
