Lyrics The Light - Nova Rockafeller

The Light

You found me on the edge, don’t be surprised when I look off
Usually, I can fight, some nights it’s easier to walk away
From all the feelings and the constant running thoughts
I say that I’m okay, but you know honestly I’m not today
I thought I could be impossible and smile from the gut
Instead I’m wondering why I got up
I hide from the sun and lie to the ones I love, but
My life is what dreams are made of
I promised myself I’d stop writing about my sadness
So I stopped making music and waited there in the blackness
Like I’m sad, no, I’d be really bad and in reflection
You have to let it go to know you love it without question
I didn’t write a verse for a year 'cause every bar was more tears
And it was hard to hear me arguing with scars I can’t heal
You know I wanted that deal, I wanted the fame
We all had the glasses full of poison champagne
You left me in the gutter, you fed me to the wolves
You thought that I would suffer, then left me through the cold, cold, cold,
cold nights
Sky’s dark, fight my monsters
I got stronger, then I shone, shone, shone the light
I did a thousand sessions, tryna reach perfection
Handed my fucking heart, and it came back with corrections
They wanted a pop star while I wrote to fight depression
Told me they believed in me, but I had my objections
My manager stopped calling, and he broke my fucking heart
'Cause he liked the life of building, couldn’t watch it fall apart
I got a tattoo on my neck, he told me: «Try to look alive»
I’m searching cyanide, tryna die while I fucking lie
People dropping like flies and spreading garbage and lies
A more courageous person would’ve probably died
And they’re still talking shit, man, just get on with your lives
Do like a damn fucking time, but yeah, I got on my mind
Now I’m unsold out, tourist crime between cities
There’s a lotta time within between Cali and New Port Richey
And every label called me, but I never called 'em back
Was imagining the hell is when there’s snakes in the grass
You left me in the gutter, you fed me to the wolves
You thought that I would suffer, then left me through the cold, cold, cold,
cold nights
Sky’s dark, fight my monsters
I got stronger, then I shone, shone, shone the light
You left me in the gutter, you fed me to the wolves
You thought that I would suffer, then left me through the cold, cold, cold,
cold nights
Sky’s dark, fight my monsters
I got stronger, then I shone, shone, shone the light
You left me in the, you left me in the, you fed me to the wolves
You thought that I would suffer, then left me
