Shine a Light

Written by Jacob Keplinger

Wake up, start my head
First stop, smoke the bed
Cuz I’m leanin’
On somebody else’s high
It’s time to make amends
With the voice inside my head
Cuz it’s reelin’
Me right back inside

Too many nights alone
Too many stones thrown
Something deep inside
It’s killing every high
It’s time to make a change
Find home on the range
And supplicate to navigate the lie

So put down the grass
Cuz I’m waiting for my story
But nobody’s waiting for me
And get off your ass
Cuz I’m just not thinking clearly
And nobody’s gonna heal me
So it’s time to shine a light upon my mind
My mind
It’s time to shine a light upon my mind

Fired up, take me down
Back to the mountain town
Am I dreaming?
Or am I coming back to stay?
Just for a little bit
Cuz I can't take another hit
And I'm feeling
That this is what I have to say

Too many people try
To hide behind the lie
Well, “that’s just the way she goes,”
That’s fine, I suppose
But I’m done lying down
Cuz I’m looking all around
And all I see is vanity alive

So put down the grass
Cuz I’m waiting for my story
But nobody’s waiting for me
And get off your ass
Cuz I’m just not thinking clearly
And nobody’s gonna heal me
So it’s time to shine a light upon my mind
My mind
It’s time to shine a light upon my mind

Boston
Keeps my head tied right down to the ground
Ain’t no way you could ever kill me now
Cuz even when I try to change my sound
Well there ain’t no way you'll ever bring me down
I’m coming back around
I’m coming back to town

I’m coming back to town!

So put down the grass!
Cuz I’m waiting for my story
But nobody’s waiting for me
And get off your ass
Cuz I’m just not thinking clearly
And nobody’s gonna heal me
So it’s time to shine a light upon my mind
My mind
It’s time to shine a light upon my mind
My mind
It’s time to shine a light upon my mind
