[Verse 1] I woke up to the morning sky, Stepped outside just to feel the sun—but why Does it burn through my skin, through my eyes? The light feels wrong, It hurts too long. I ran back in, closed every door, Looked in the mirror—I’m not me anymore. What are these flames behind my gaze? Why do I scream? Why do I break? [Pre-Chorus] If you hate the light too, Come hide away with me. We’ll shut our eyes And whisper in sync: "We hate the light." My teeth grow sharper every night, I can’t stand the fake daylight. The real me lives in the black— Now tell me, would you come back? [Chorus] I hate the light When it crashes into my sight. It cuts, it scars, it steals my voice, Turns my blood cold, gives me no choice. My eyes go red, my soul recoils, This fake light, this twisted coil— I hate, I hate, I hate... All this fake light, fake light In my life. [Verse 2] There’s me—and then there's what you see. I don’t shine like you, I breathe differently. I once stood beneath the sky, But now I fade when it gets bright. I wish the sun could touch my face, But all it does is strip my grace. You'd know it too if you stepped near— This fake light turns love to fear. [Pre-Chorus] If you hate the light too, Come drown in dark with me. We’ll seal our eyes And softly repeat: "We hate the light." Each night I change, I lose my skin— It’s not the warmth, it’s the lie within. I belong where the shadows bite, So tell me—would you fear my light? [Chorus] I hate the light When it crashes into my sight. It cuts, it scars, it steals my voice, Turns my blood cold, gives me no choice. My eyes go red, my soul recoils, This fake light, this twisted coil— I hate, I hate, I hate... All this fake light, fake light In my life. [Bridge] I fight the silence, I fight the lie. This fake light wants me to comply. But I won’t look, I won’t obey— My eyes weren’t made for the day. Don’t ask me to glow or burn— There’s nothing in the light I yearn. [Outro] I won’t stay here. This fake light's my curse, A cruel verse. Look at the sun and you’ll see— You were never human, You were always... me. Fake light.
