Composed by：Rachel Keen/Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins/Marvin Hemmings/Shankar Ravindran
They say the twenties are the best years of your life
But I seem to be spending mine missing sunsets
'Cause I'm busy on my phone observing everyone else
How I compare and obsess
Just me my phone and these walls
And I've been sober for some months
But I can feel the demons waiting on my downfall
Since I'm so ugly and irrelevant
I've been losing friends as if I'm tryna get rid of them
I Googled why I'm still desperate for validation and sedatives huh
Callin' men who don't give a **** about me
Then when my mother called I pretend I'm busy
I'm tryna end up anywhere except from where I been
Curtains closed bed bound amphetamines
This devil on my shoulder man
I'm tryna to shake him off
My ex is on my timeline it's as if he's showing off
My self-esteem is facetune and ring lights
My ego is conquering new heights
I think I need some think I need some
Do you need some
Do you need some
Don't we all need we all need some
Da-da-da da-da-da there'll be light
I think I need some
I lied I don't think I know I need some
I need some light some sweet sunshine
To feel alright please let there be light
I see a sad little sinner in the mirror
The devil works hard like my liver
I don't wanna be alive but I don't wanna die
A fistful of pills you're a nobody
Yeah uh-uh yeah uh uh-uh yeah
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Let there be light
Yeah uh-uh yeah uh uh-uh yeah
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Bang-bang that's depression at the door again
You know he'll beat the door down 'til you let him in the room
Since you are already acquainted you skip the foreplay
He grips you at the neck as you prepare to be screwed
You try to muster a flare to tell somebody you're sinking
But anxiety is an index finger pressed to your lips
A whiskey bottle it whispers since you're already bitter
A cocktail fit for a quitter Come here and give me a kiss
I see a sad little sinner in the mirror
The devil works hard like my liver
I don't wanna be alive but I don't wanna die
A fistful of pills and rivers in my eyes
I've got nothin' left to lose dear God in the sky
Hear my cry hear my cry
When it's too dark to see
Let there be light let there be light
Let there be light
Yeah uh-uh yeah uh yeah-yeah yeah
Let there be light
Yeah uh-uh yeah uh yeah-yeah yeah
Yes I edit my pictures to make my waist look slimmer
And make my a*s look bigger so that I'm someone you aspire to
Let me in your algorithm please
I know I'll only be important
If I'm someone you would like follow share and subscribe to
If you're thirsty like me like me
Mix some pity with some self-hate
Stir it up then add twelve ounces of rosé
That's how I make the glass half-empty and drink it down
Beneath the curse words and the insecurities
Here lies a sorry little soul
She doesn't even know what to pray for
Still just a heart-broke b****
But I traded the back of the nightclub I did for the bathroom floor
I wish I could call my ex
He would know just what to say he don't say nothing at all now
Brings a tear to my eye
The only thing I rely on him to do is stay
I see a sad little sinner in the mirror
The devil works hard like my liver
I don't wanna be alive but I don't wanna die
A fistful of pills and rivers in my eyes
I've got nothin' left to lose dear God in the sky
Hear my cry hear my cry
When it's too dark to see let there be light
Let there be light let there be light
Little girls that have no self-esteem
A little boy without a father tries to find him in the streets
A girl I used to walk to school with
Took her life now rest in peace rest in peace
Fake democracy killing overseas
Killing ourselves suicide
Government lies discrimination
Hating ourselves
Why hope why keep going why try why
Genesis one verse three I'll dry my eyes
Sad still syle little sinner in the mirror
The devil works hard like my liver
I don't wanna be alive but I don't wanna die
A fistful of pills and rivers in my eyes
I've got nothin' left to lose
Hear my cry
When it's too dark to see let there be light
Let there be let there be
Let there be
Let there be light
I want that light oh
Let there be
I wanna be
I want
Oh let there be
Oh let there be
Oh that light
See I want that light in my house I do yeah
Let be light
I want that light in my car oh let there be light
I want that light in my pain oh let there be light
I want that light when it's dark dark da-dark
Oh no let there be oh let there be
No no no no no no let there be light
For all the fathers and the teachers working hard in the night
For all the builders and the cleaners I pray let there be light
Oh for all the farmers and the chefs and the train-drivers yes
The nurses and the doctors God bless the NHS
Let the pay rise let the pay rise up
Oh let there be li-li-li-light
For all those overworked and underpaid
And dreams of somewhere out of sight
Let there be light
Single mother all alone she's all alone
Baby's
She's cryin'
And she's cryin' tears too to her sister on the phone
Bring her comfort bring her peace
I pray Lord please yeah yeah
Da-da-doo da-doo da-doo da-doo doo-doo-doo doo-doo-doo

Said don't be all need a little
See I want that light in my house I do

Doo-doo-doo doo-doo-doo doo-doo-doo doo-doo-doo
