Koethe - Light It Up

To Rate
Chorus
Light it up
A little louder
Light it up
And no surrender
Light it up
So they remember you were there

Verse 1
Johnny was a quiet kid
Didn't really fit the way the other boys did
He kept to himself real hush hush
Didn't really have friends, didn't talk much
He tells no one what he’s wanting to do
Hides his secret in his bedroom
He's all a bit cold by that point
He's only one side of the coin to those with

Pre-Chorus
No concern
No time for
Consequences
No regrets this
In his head it's

Chorus
Light it up
A little louder
Light it up
And no surrender
Light it up
So they remember you were there
Light it up
Nobody gets you
Light it up
They'll never take you
Light it up
You're bulletproof from
Thoughts and prayers
Verse 2
Johnny was a troubled kid
Johnny was a saint, Johnny was the best then
Maybe Johnny was a fuckwit drop kick
A psychopath lunatic
Radicalized or sick
He tells no one about the plan in his head or what he hid under his bed
All the spent mags, hashtags, and red flags
The pumped kicks, ballistics, they miss this
For execution commentary politics

Pre-Chorus
No control
No concern for
Consequences
No regrets this
In his head it's

Chorus
Light it up
A little louder
Light it up
And no surrender
Light it up
So they remember you were there
Light it up
Nobody gets you
Light it up
They'll never take you
Light it up
You're bulletproof from
Thoughts and prayers
Bridge
He says he wants to
Light it up
Nobody stopped you
Light it up
He's bulletproof right up to the end

Chorus
Light it up
A little louder
Light it up
And no surrender
Light it up
So they remember you were there
Light it up
Nobody gets you
Light it up
They'll never take you
You're bulletproof from
All the thoughts and prayers

Outro
Johnny was a good kid
And there's a million other Johnnies with bodies in mind
You'll find that they're the same as him
Is it the outcome? The symptom? The problem?
Does it even matter?
