Voices and people in highways
I hear a song in the darkest sounds
Trapped on the radio
I played every time that I'm going down

Momma saying: Oh, my Lord, tell me, boy, what have you done?
They ask me what I'm waiting for
The night has only just begun

Oh, when you turned your back on me
I made that my history
The more I learn the less I bleed
Till the lights go out, I'll sing
I want to go, I want to go hide
Where the stars are as close as the sky
Till the lights go out on me
Till I write my symphony

Dark is a light when I'm sideways
I took the knives and I've made my crown
They say keep it for the radio for times sake
I'm so proud of breaking it down

Momma saying: Oh, my Lord, tell me, boy, what have you done?
They ask me what I'm waiting for
The night has only just begun

Oh, when you turned your back on me
I made that my history
The more I learn the less I bleed
Till the lights go out, I'll sing
I want to go, I want to go hide
Where the stars are as close as the sky
Till the lights go out on me
Till I write my symphony

I want to go, I want to go hide
I want to go, I want to go hide
Till the lights go out on me
Till I write my symphony

I took all your judgement, look at what I made
I made music from the silence
I made symphonies from pain
Since a child, I was born for this
Ain't nothing you could say
This for all my generation
From the one they cast away, ay

I took all your judgement
Look at what I made
I made music from the silence
I made symphonies from pain
Since a child, I was born for this
Ain't nothing you could say
This for all my generation
From the one they cast away

Oh, when you turned your back on me
I made that my history
The more I learn the less I bleed
Till the lights go out, I'll sing
I want to go, I want to go hide
Where the stars are as close as the sky
Till the lights go out on me
Till I write my symphony
