Lights Still On

Four AM and the city's running low

Neon shadows on an empty road

Everybody's gone, but the skyline stays awake

Like it's carrying the weight I couldn't shake

Another day inside a moving frame

Different faces, but it feels the same

Trying to find a signal through the noise inside my head

While the world keeps scrolling ahead

I keep chasing echoes down these hallways

Looking for a version of me I misplaced

Every locked door, every missed train

Still pulling me forward through the rain

There's a light still on

At the edge of the night

When the silence gets loud

And I lose the fight

There's a light still on

Even when hope feels gone

Through the cracks in the dark

I keep holding on

Yeah

I've been running through the static

Living automatic

Smiling for the camera while my thoughts are cinematic

Everybody got opinions

Everybody got a plan

But they never felt the pressure

Of becoming who I am

Late nights, elevator rides

Going nowhere, still I climb

Looking at the mirror like

"Is this dream still mine?"

Every setback turned to lessons

Every scar became direction

Now I'm building something bigger

From the ruins of reflection

There's a light still on

At the edge of the night

When the silence gets loud

And I lose the fight

There's a light still on

Even when hope feels gone

Through the cracks in the dark

I keep holding on

Maybe I'm closer than I think

Maybe the answer never left

It's hiding in the smallest moments

Between every breath

No more waiting for tomorrow

No more living halfway alive

If my heart is still beating

Then the fire survived

There's a light still on

Burning under my skin

Through the noise and the doubt

I won't give in

There's a light still on

And it's leading me home

After all of these years

I finally know

The light was never somewhere else

It was in me all along
