Light
Chomsky Lyrics

Don't set me down easy
Don't be gentle with me or sugarcoat things for me

Don't shield me from light
Don't protect me from the truth, even if it's harsh

It might start to burn
The truth might hurt or be uncomfortable

And maybe that's right
But facing the truth is ultimately the best thing to do

So give me your reasons
Explain yourself and your actions thoroughly

And don't take all night
But don't take too long to do so

Try the new deception
Don't keep using the same old lies and tricks

Throw me off, push me hard
Challenge me to think differently and deeply about things

False start, falling off the mark
Even if we don't quite succeed at first, we can learn from our mistakes

Cover all intentions
Don't be transparent about your motives

With a little dark
Obscurity and vagueness can be used to hide the truth

Seeing it in motion
Observing the situation as it develops

Half-assed mumbling, stumbling
Being indecisive and unsure of what to do

So weak, so insecure
Feeling vulnerable and uncertain

Keep all your inventions
Don't keep coming up with new lies or excuses

Time to make things pure
It's time to be honest and truthful

Can't get any clearer
The truth is obvious and cannot be ignored

Poor excuses and notions
Admitting fault and taking responsibility for mistakes

And reasons, all in the way
Finding excuses for not doing the right thing

Get me out from under
Freeing oneself from the chains of deception

And come what may
Regardless of what happens

Pushing it to crisis
Making a hard decision that will have long-term consequences

Feel explosions close in
Feeling the pressure and intensity of the moment

Build up, had enough
Reaching a breaking point and needing to take action

Wasting all my profits I'm down
Being taken advantage of or losing something valuable

Don't let the bastards be your masters
Don't give power to people who don't have your best interests at heart

Give it all to me at once
Be completely truthful and upfront

Hit me with your strong full force
Be honest and unapologetic

Pain will wash everything gone
The truth can be painful, but it can also help us move past our problems

Now I'll keep moving on
Even if the truth is hard, we must keep moving forward

Be rest assured
Knowing that the truth, no matter how painful, is ultimately freeing

I won't slow down
I will continue to push forward and seek the truth

I will run (run), I will run (run)
I am determined to keep pushing forward

So don't do me any favors
Don't hold back or be kind to spare my feelings

Just come clean, shoot to kill
Be honest and upfront, even if it hurts

Make it fast, cue the stun
Don't drag things out any longer

Either way I'm done
No matter what happens, I am willing to face the truth and move on
