Streetlamp - Dani Shay

Sometimes I’m steady like a rock

Sometimes the truth speaks when I talk

But then again a little more often than not

I’m pushing through the fog of my own thoughts

And then the streetlamp in my head flips a switch and I come back

Ready to devise a stronger plan of attack

I know these circumstances are to help me train

To be your warrior for peace against my brain

Sometimes I’m open to receive

Sometimes even when my eyes are closed I can see

But sometimes in a matter of minutes, I’m so far down

That suddenly I’m looking up to see the ground

And then the streetlamp in my head flips a switch and I come back

Ready to devise a stronger plan of attack

I know these circumstances are to help me train

To be your warrior for peace against my brain

So don’t ask me how we came to be 'cuz it really doesn’t matter, you see

Because life is but a dream filled with the ultimate distractions

Maneuver your way through and you’re free

Oh, if you get there first come find me

Come find me, oh

Sometimes I’m taken by surprise

Sometimes I can see God in my eyes

But sometimes like a dragon’s breath the smoke reappears

And I’m blinded once again by my fears

And then the streetlamp in my head flips a switch and I come back

Ready to devise a stronger plan of attack

I know these circumstances are to help me train

To be your warrior for peace against my brain, my brain
