A Little Brighter by Mind Over Matter Lyrics
[Verse 1: Smiles Again]
Tryna find a point to start this
Spent the first half of my twenties getting retarded
Ordered up a jug no I don't need to many glasses
Now my vision blurred and I could use somebody's glasses
Oh, oh lord where the hell did all my friends go
Guess they got a job that would guarantee some income
While I watch these weeks go and fly right out my window
When did things get so opposite of simple
I'm not sure is it in my heart is it in my mind
Is it in my past or is it in disguise
This the result of a kid who believed them
When they said that you can be anything you like man I hope I prove 'em right
With this mic in the palm of my hand
Since day one it’s been part of the plan
Then in addition somewhere along the mission
I finally found some initials to go and write in the heart that I calved in the sand
But it's a cold world out the mic booth I know
That's why we warm with oil and coal
And we know that we shouldn't but pride mixed with stubbornness
Seems to be our recipe for government
And why the fuck are there threats of nuclear warheads
I really think the world leaders could do with some more head
It's shit like that that make me want to stay inside my bubble
So I don't have to taste this fucking food that we force-fed
[Pre-Hook: Chance Waters & K.I.K.I]
Fire flies, fire flies they all set the night alight
Somehow I'm surrounded by millions of them every night
Fire flies, fire flies even at the highest heights
We can get ‘em, get ‘em all, we can get ‘em, get ‘em all
[Hook: Chance Waters & K.I.K.I]
When the lights go out in my street all that I will ever see's
A little brighter, a little brighter
When the dark sets in around me all that I will ever be's
A little brighter, a little brighter
[Verse 2: Chance Waters]
You might never see it but-but we could be your lantern
We can pull the wool over your eyes inside the sand storm
We can be the thread of hope that guides you through the pattern
We won't ever let you go but live life with abandon
If it's your wish we'll be your lamp or your Aladdin
If you ever need to ring us we can be your Saturn
If you need a shoulder then we'll even throw our hands in
We could tell you everything if you could understand it
There's a certain kind of method to the madness
Certain kind of kind of theft in when you take something for granted
Certainties what's left there when you play it how you planned it
Finding out that everything's the only thing that matters
You might never see it but-but we could be your lantern
You might never see it but-but we could be your lantern
You might never see it but-but we could be your lantern
But-but we could be your lantern, but-but we could be your lantern
[Pre-Hook: Chance Waters & K.I.K.I]
Fire flies, fire flies they all set the night alight
Somehow I'm surrounded by millions of them every night
Fire flies, fire flies even at the highest heights
We can get ‘em, get ‘em all, we can get ‘em, get ‘em all
[Hook: Chance Waters & K.I.K.I]
When the lights go out in my street all that I will ever see's
A little brighter, a little brighter
When the dark sets in around me all that I will ever be's
A little brighter, a little brighter
[Verse 3: Willow]
I just want to let you know what I believe in this evening
Equality no children in the streets where they're sleeping
All because some companies are greedy and they thieving
What be the key ingredient the media's deceiving
But people still believe it, I see through all B.S
Caged in the week and then some freedom in the weekend
Doesn't really seem to quite fly with my kind
I'd rather brighten up your world and write rhymes in tie-dye
Yo, I am so Sci-Fi I take it to the skyline
Lucid dreaming through the binary at night time
When I meditate ‘cause I can find it in the darkness
Through amplified energy that light up all my chakra's
Yeah so true, rest in peace Osho
And any other leader that was trying to expose you
To a new perspective on everything we go through
Reaching for enlightenment then taking it global
And Hiroshima is a souvenir from
Them power hungry government's with nuclear bombs
You can't undo what is done but we are poisoning the planet
Through decisions that we've made and the choices that we haven't
Now our food is not organic so catch up with the plan
That make me sick ‘cause pharmaceutical drugs are a scam
Take the money out your hand we swap it for their medicine
But I just want the world to know that nature heals everything
[Hook: Chance Waters & K.I.K.I]
When the lights go out in my street all that I will ever see's
A little brighter, a little brighter
When the dark sets in around me all that I will ever be's
