lyrics

what good is a lightbulb
if it's dimly lit?
you see the light
but it serves no purpose

like lukewarm water
it's destined for spit
it's gone and forgotten –
no function, no will

i fight for desire
i search for unrest
i know it's not easy
i've got to commit

but lackluster living
it reels me back in
lackluster living

if you find me stagnant
if you find me comfortable
if you find me tuning out
the ones who push me forward

i urge you to provoke me
i urge you to disrupt my quiet
if i seek indifference
i'll never know desire

grit through the struggle
and tense for the hits
to have motivation
you have to commit
like any commitment
there's doubts that creep in
but you have to sustain
you have to resist

grit through the struggle
and tense for the hits
to have motivation
you have to commit
like any commitment
there's doubts that creep in
but you have to sustain
you have to resist

i see myself in the dust that collects
at the bottom of closets where skeletons sit
cause everything that i had begun to see
were products of all my regrets and my grief

their presence
it lingered
like smoke off a wick
they kept me from reaching
for what i once held

i know it's not easy
i've fought to commit
for lackluster living was making me sick

making me sick

you grit through my struggle
you tensed for my hits
you cleaned out my closets
removing the filth

you saved me from sinking
to hopeless lamenting
it's actions like this
that demand a reaction

selfish am i
if i don't share the news
ungrateful am i
if i stand
unmoved

for i have been freed of all guilt
and selfish am i if i don't share the news
