It Keeps the Lights On

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I should be sleeping, but I'm thinking in bed Burning the fire and doubt That fucking smoke detector's going again I take the batteries out [Pre-Chorus] Any beauty I ever created Was generated out of the dread [Chorus] Guess I thought it would be quieter now But my fear is always buzzing so loud It's an engine I would never try to shut down 'Cause it keeps the lights on Yeah, it keeps the lights on [Verse 2] I've learned to live with something burning inside I've gotten usеd to the smoke If you uncover what I'm trying to hidе I'll laugh it off like a joke [Pre-Chorus] Any beauty I ever created Was generated out of the dread [Chorus] Guess I thought it would be quieter now But my fear is always buzzing so loud It's an engine I would never try to shut down 'Cause it keeps the lights on Yeah, it keeps the lights on [Bridge] Strange, I was happy when the power went out Just to know that I could stand the dark [Pre-Chorus] Any beauty I ever created Was generated out of the dread [Chorus] Guess I thought it would be quieter now But my fear is always buzzing so loud It's an engine I would never try to shut down 'Cause it keeps the lights on It's what keeps the lights on [Outro] Keeps the lights on (Keeps the lights on) Keeps the lights on
