The Light - Nova Rockafeller

You found me on the edge, don’t be surprised when I look off

Usually, I can fight, some nights it’s easier to walk away

From all the feelings and the constant running thoughts

I say that I’m okay, but you know honestly I’m not today

I thought I could be impossible and smile from the gut

Instead I’m wondering why I got up

I hide from the sun and lie to the ones I love, but

My life is what dreams are made of

I promised myself I’d stop writing about my sadness

So I stopped making music and waited there in the blackness

Like I’m sad, no, I’d be really bad and in reflection

You have to let it go to know you love it without question

I didn’t write a verse for a year 'cause every bar was more tears

And it was hard to hear me arguing with scars I can’t heal

You know I wanted that deal, I wanted the fame

We all had the glasses full of poison champagne

You left me in the gutter, you fed me to the wolves

You thought that I would suffer, then left me through the cold, cold, cold,

cold nights

Sky’s dark, fight my monsters

I got stronger, then I shone, shone, shone the light

I did a thousand sessions, tryna reach perfection

Handed my fucking heart, and it came back with corrections

They wanted a pop star while I wrote to fight depression

Told me they believed in me, but I had my objections

My manager stopped calling, and he broke my fucking heart

'Cause he liked the life of building, couldn’t watch it fall apart

I got a tattoo on my neck, he told me: «Try to look alive»

I’m searching cyanide, tryna die while I fucking lie

People dropping like flies and spreading garbage and lies

A more courageous person would’ve probably died

And they’re still talking shit, man, just get on with your lives

Do like a damn fucking time, but yeah, I got on my mind

Now I’m unsold out, tourist crime between cities

There’s a lotta time within between Cali and New Port Richey

And every label called me, but I never called 'em back

Was imagining the hell is when there’s snakes in the grass

You left me in the gutter, you fed me to the wolves

You thought that I would suffer, then left me through the cold, cold, cold,

cold nights

Sky’s dark, fight my monsters

I got stronger, then I shone, shone, shone the light

You left me in the gutter, you fed me to the wolves

You thought that I would suffer, then left me through the cold, cold, cold,

cold nights

Sky’s dark, fight my monsters

I got stronger, then I shone, shone, shone the light

You left me in the, you left me in the, you fed me to the wolves

You thought that I would suffer, then left me
