lyrics

I’m the candle trying to jump off the cake
I’m reality choosing to be faked
I’m the coat of many colors refusing to be sewn
I am the simple mystery refusing to be known

I’m the record begging to be broken
I am the ties that couldn’t bind
I am the playground the children tried to burn down
I am the eye that’s begging to be blind

I can’t find the light switch
I can’t find the light switch
I can’t find the light switch
I can’t find the light switch in the dark

I’m the matchstick refusing to be lit
I’m the fighter refusing to be hit
I’m the wall choosing to fall down
I’m the swimmer who chooses to drown

I can’t find the light switch
I can’t find the light switch
I can’t find the light switch
I can’t find the light switch in the dark

Take, take it all away
Say what you have to say
Take, take it all away
I’ll pay what I have to pay

I’m the prayers that try not to be spoken
I’m the songs only for the deaf
I’m the inheritance left upon the table
I’m rich but I’m living like I’m poor…
I’m rich but I’m living like I’m poor…
I’m rich but I’m living like I’m poor…
