Lyrics
[Verse 1]
One track mind like a goldfish
Stuck inside my petri dish
I can't breathe and I can't smile
This better be worth my while
[Verse 2]
I feel numb most of the time
Lower I get the higher
I'll climb and I will wonder why
I got dark only to
[Verse 3]
Shine
Looking for the golden light
Oh, it's a reasonable sacrifice
Burn, burn, burn bright
[Verse 4]
Forgo families, forgo friends
That's how it started, how it ends
I can't open up and cry
'Cause I've been silent all my life
[Verse 5]
I feel numb most of the time
Lower I get the higher
I'll climb and I will wonder why
I got dark only to
[Verse 6]
Shine
Looking for the golden light
Oh, it's a reasonable sacrifice
Burn, burn, burn bright
Burn, burn, burn bright
[Verse 7]
Oh, I get dark
Oh, and I'm in Hell
I need a friend
Oh, but I can't yell
[Verse 8]
Yeah, I'm no good
No good to anyone
'Cause all I care about
Is being number one
[Verse 9]
Shine
Looking for the golden light
Oh, it's a reasonable sacrifice
[Verse 10]
Shine
Looking for the golden light
Oh, it's a reasonable sacrifice
Sacrifice
[Verse 11]
I feel numb most of the time
Lower I get the higher
I'll climb and I will wonder why
I got dark only to shine
[Verse 12]
And I'll light up the sky
Stars that burn the brightest
Fall so fast and pass you by
Puff like empty lighters
[Verse 13]
I feel numb most of the time
Lower I get the higher
I'll climb and I will wonder why
I got dark only to shine
[Verse 14]
And I'll light up the sky
Stars that burn the brightest
Fall so fast and pass you by
Spark like empty lighters
[Verse 15]
Dum dum-dum, dum-dum, dum-dum
Dum dum-dum, dum-dum
Dum dum-dum, dum-dum, dum-dum
Dum dum-dum, dum-dum
