Lyrics
[Chorus]
Leaving the light
Always thought I was living a lie
Wasn't feeling it right
Always thought I was living a lie
Put my hand up on my heart, I beat my chest
The chaos moving down and down, seep in my flesh
The obstacles won't block my path, I see the test
They can try and swat me down, boy, I'm the pest
Only know what you see from the outside
You can run, God laughs with his mouth wide
I won't die on my knees, though my hands tied
In the end it's a Roach vs a landslide
[PreChorus]
Better run, there's a god, and he's coming for me
Better run, there's a god, and he's coming for me
Better run, there's a god, and he's coming for me
Better run, there's a god, and he's coming for me
[Chorus]
Leaving the light
Always thought I was living a lie
Wasn't feeling it right
Always thought I was living a lie
Leaving the light
Always thought I was living a lie
Wasn't feeling it right
Always thought I was living a lie
[Verse 1]
The pest is always on the move
I ain't vanish
Crush me with your holy hell
I feel no damage
I can never stop my path
Despite the panic
The planet might be burning down
Fuck it, I'll manage
Green hills, I can see them smoking
Big smile as the flames approaching
I'm a beast, I can feel them poaching
Stamp me down, but a Roach keeps Roaching
[PreChorus]
Better run, there's a god, and he's coming for me
Better run, there's a god, and he's coming for me
Better run, there's a god, and he's coming for me
Better run, there's a god, and he's coming for me
[Chorus]
Leaving the light
[Bridge]
I don't need a gun
I can hurt you with my tongue
And I'm trying not to burn out while I'm living in the sun
I don't need a gun
I can hurt you with my tongue
And I'm trying not to burn out while I'm living in the sun
[Chorus]
Leaving the light
Always thought I was living a lie
Wasn't feeling it right
Always thought I was living a lie
Leaving the light
Always thought I was living a lie
Wasn't feeling it right
Always thought I was living a lie
