Lyrics:

[Part I]

[Verse]
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 fuck 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
Mmm, and 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

[Pre-Chorus]
I think I need some (Think I need some)
Do you need some? (Do you need some?)
Don't we all need some (We all need some)
Light? (Let there be light)
Da-da-da, da-da-da (There'll be light)
I think I need some (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)

[Part II]

[Chorus]
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

[Post-Chorus]
Yeah (Uh-uh), yeah (Uh, uh-uh), yeah
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah (Uh, uh-uh)
(Let there be light)
Yeah (Uh-uh), yeah (Uh, uh-uh), yeah
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah

[Verse 1]
Bang-bang, that's depression at the door again
You know he'll beat the door down till 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"

[Chorus]
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

[Post-Chorus]
Yeah (Uh-uh), yeah (Uh, yeah-yeah), yeah
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah (Uh, uh-uh)
(Let there be light)
Yeah (Uh-uh), yeah (Uh, yeah-yeah), yeah
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah (Uh, uh-uh)

[Verse 2]
Yes, I edit my pictures to make my waist look slimmer
And make my ass 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

[Verse 3]
Beneath the curse words and the insecurities
Here lies a sorry little soul
And she doesn't even know what to pray for
Still just a heart-broke bitch
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 declining
