Leave On the Light

Lyrics

[Verse 1] No books about my decadence And fables to remember this I think about it all the time And realize it's vain I feel like gasoline tonight Don't stand so close, you might catch fire I can't be honest all the time I can't be honest all the time [Pre-Chorus] Life is full of promises and prophecies Well, life has made me famous on my knees And everywhere there's amateurs and enemies Everywhere there's everyone but me [Chorus] She said, "You'll be fine I promise that I'll leave on the light What are you afraid of? What are you afraid of?" [Verse 2] I advertise my memories Lo and behold humanity I condescend your sympathy Can understand my pain I can only hope this melody Will scream across like clarity I can't be honest all the time I can't be honest all the time [Pre-Chorus] People say the army's got a home for me To find myself out of this rut And maybe greatness isn't in my destiny 'Sides people say a lot of things, so what? [Chorus] She said, "You'll be fine I promise that I'll leave on the light What are you afraid of? What are you afraid of?" [Bridge] That alcohol is heavier than lead And Hunter S. Thompson is dead She said, "You'll never have enough 'Til the day that you wake up And everything is gone Oh, everything is gone" [Verse 2] I advertise my memories Lo and behold humanity I condescend your sympathy Can understand my pain I can only hope this melody Will scream across like clarity I can't be honest all the time I can't be honest all the time [Chorus] She said, "You'll be fine I promise that I'll leave on the light What are you afraid of? What are you afraid of?" [Bridge] That alcohol is heavier than lead And Hunter S. Thompson is dead She said, "You'll never have enough 'Til the day that you wake up And everything is gone Oh, everything is gone"
