Genesis

They say the twenties are the best years of your life
But I seem to be spending mine missing sunsets
Cause I'm busy on my phone observing everyone else
How I compare and obsess
Just me, my phone, and these walls
And I've been sober for some months
But I can feel the demons waiting on my downfall
Since I'm so ugly and irrelevant
I've been losing friends as if I'm tryna get rid of them
I googled why I'm still desperate for validation and sedatives, huh
Calling men who don't give a fuck about me
Then when my mother called I pretend I'm busy
I'm tryna end up anywhere except from where I been
Curtains closed, bed bound, amphetamines
Mmm, and this devil on my shoulder, man, I'm tryna to shake him off
My ex is on my timeline, it's as if he's showing off
My self-esteem is Facetune and ring lights
My ego is conquering new heights

I think I need some (Think I need some)
Do you need some (Do you need some)
Don't we all need some (We all need some)
Light, da da da da (Let there be light)
I think I need some
I lied, I don't think I (Know I need some)
I need some light (Some sweet sunshine)
To feel alright (Please, let there be light)

I see a sad little sinner
In the mirror
The devil works hard
Like my liver
I don't wanna be alive
But I don't wanna die
A fistful of pills
You're a nobody

Ey, ey
Ey-ey-ey, yeah
Ey, ey
Ey-ey-ey, yeah

Bang-bang
That's depression at the door again
You know he'll beat the door down
Till you let him in the room
Since you are already acquainted
You skip the foreplay
He grips you at the neck
As you prepare to be screwed
You try to muster a flare
To tell somebody you're sinking
But anxiety is an index finger
Pressed to your lips
A whiskey bottle, it whispers
Since you're already bitter
A cocktail fit for a quitter
Come here and give me a kiss

I see a sad little sinner
In the mirror
The devil works hard
Like my liver
I don't wanna be alive
But I don't wanna die
A fistful of pills
And rivers in my eyes

I've got nothing left to lose
Dear God in the sky
Hear my cry
Hear my cry
When it's too dark to see
Let there be light
Let there be light
Let there be light

Ey, ey
Ey-ey-ey, yeah
Ey, ey
Ey-ey-ey, yeah

Yes, I edit my pictures
To make my waist look slimmer
And make my ass look bigger
So that I'm someone you aspire to
Let me in your algorithm, please
I know I'll only be important
If I'm someone you would like
Follow, share, and subscribe to
If you're thirsty like me
Mix some pity with some self-hate
Stir it up, then add twelve ounces of rosé
That's how I make the glass half-empty and drink it down

Beneath the curse words and the insecurities
Here lies a sorry little soul
And she doesn't even know what to pray for
Still just a heart-broke bitch
But I traded the back of the nightclub
I did, for the bathroom floor
I wish I could call my ex
He would know just what to say (He don't say nothing at all now)
Brings a tear to my eye
The only thing I rely on him
To do is stay declining my calls now

I see a sad little sinner
In the mirror
The devil works hard
Like my liver
I don't wanna be alive
But I don't wanna die
A fistful of pills
And rivers in my eyes

I've got nothing left to lose
Dear God in the sky
Hear my cry
Hear my cry
When it's too dark to see
Let there be light
Let there be light
Let there be light

Little girls that have no self-esteem
A little boy without a father tries to find him in the streets
A girl I used to walk to school with
Took her life, now rest in peace (Rest in peace)
Fake democracy
Killing overseas
Killing ourselves
Suicide
Government lies
Discrimination
Hating ourselves
Why hope, why keep going, why try, why
Genesis one, verse three
I'll dry my eyes
The only thing which darkness cannot coexist is the light

I see a sad little sinner
In the mirror
The devil works hard
Like my liver
I don't wanna be alive
But I don't wanna die
A fistful of pills
And rivers in my eyes

I've got nothing left to lose
Dear God in the sky
Hear my cry
Would you hear my cry
When it's too dark to see
Let there be light
Let there be, let there be
Let there be light

Yeah
No, no, no
I want that light, oh, eeh (Let there be light)
Oh, let there be, oh
Oh, let there be, oh
Oh, that light

See, I want that light in my house
Oh, let there be light
I want that light in my car
Oh, let there be light
I want that light in my pain
Oh, let there be light
I want that light when it's dark, dark, da-dark
Oh, no, let there be
Oh, let there be
Oh, li-light
No, no, no, no, no, let there, let there be light

For all the fathers and the teachers
Working hard in the night
For all the builders and the cleaners
I pray: let there be light
Oh, for all the farmers and the chefs
And the train-drivers, yes
The nurses and the doctors
God bless the NHS
Let the pay rise
Let the pay rise up
Let there be li-li-light

For all those overworked and underpaid
And dreams of somewhere out of sight
Let there be light
Single mother, all alone (She's all alone)
The baby's crying
And she's cryin' tears too
To her sister on the phone
Bring her comfort
Bring her peace
I pray Lord, please

Doo mmm doo mmm doo mmm doo doo doo mmm doo mmm doo mmm doo
Dadadam dam dam (Now that's what I'm talking about)
Oh, let there be
Lord, let there be
Don't we all need a little

See, I want that, that light in my house
Oh, let there be light
I want that light in my car, yeah
Oh, let there be light
I want that light in my dreams, yeah, doo-deh
Oh, baby, light all the dark, yes
Light up the dark, Lord
Let there be light, Lord (Oh, let there be, oh, let there be, there be light)
