Genesis.

作曲 : Rachel Keen/Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins/Marvin Hemmings/Shankar Ravindran/Tom Richards

They say the 20s 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 so desperate for validation and sedatives, huh

Calling men who don't give a **** 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 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

Do you need some?

Don't we all need some 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

Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, 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 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

Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yes, I edit my pictures to make my waist look slimmer

And make my arse 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 12 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 heartbroke 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

It 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 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

Fake democracy

Killing overseas

Killing ourselves

Suicide

Government lies

Discrimination

Hating ourselves

Why hope? Why keep going? Why try? Why?

Genesis 1, verse 3, 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 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

Yeah

I want that light, Lord

Please (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, dark, dark

Oh no let there be, oh let there be, oh-oh that 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

Oh let there be light, light, light

For all those overworked and underpaid

And dreams are somewhere out of sight, mmm

Let there be light

Single mothers all alone (She's all alone)

The baby's crying

And she's crying tears too to her sister on the phone

Bring her comfort bring her peace

I pray Lord, yeah, yeah, yeah (Please)

Now that's what I'm talkin' 'bout

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

Light up the dark yes

Light up the dark, Lord

Let there be light, Lord
