Shoot Out the Lights
Ron Pope Lyrics

The city lights the water as the
The lights of the city reflect on the water as we observe the scene

Snow forgets the sky and we're
The snowfall covers the sky and we're present to witness it

Staring at the bridges just like
We're gazing at the bridges like we've done multiple times prior

Every other night we've been
We've been here frequently on other nights

Watching for a miracle we're
We're hoping for a remarkable event to occur

Praying for a sign when the
We're asking for a signal to guide us when

Cure is made of poison then
The solution to our problems is harmful

It's hard to rest your eyes
We can't find peace and calmness

And if it's time, oh lord
If the end is near, oh God

Shoot out the lights
Let everything end

The heavens shake with anger and the
The sky seems angry and turbulent

Clouds they curse the ground and I'm
The clouds seem to blame and criticize the ground and I

Screaming for an answer but the
We're yelling for a solution but

Darkness blinds me now we will
Our inability to see is a consequence of the darkness and now we

Not survive with misery we will
We can't survive life with sadness

Fill ourselves with love we are
Our response is to fill our hearts with love

Searching we are hopeful we are
We're in search of hope

Anything but lost
But we're not lost

I see the stars in black and white
I see the stars without color, maybe due to the darkness around us

I pray to God most every night
I ask for God's guidance in my daily challenges

And I see the stars, I see the stars, I see the stars
I'm fixated on observing the stars

I see the stars most every night
I'm viewing the stars almost every night

Shoot out the lights
End everything

Shoot out the lights
End everything

Shoot out the lights
End everything

Shoot out the lights
End everything

Shoot out the lights
End everything
