# Blacklight Code [VERSE 1 — clipped, driving] Vans by the curb, mud on the sole Came from the back with a pocket full of goals Green dot blink when the dealer call Mama said, “boy, don’t trust them all” Chrome on the wrist, cold on the skin He talk too sweet, but I smell the sin Dice in the ashtray, keys in the tray I keep my face flat when they look my way I see through before you let me in I stand still when the room spins You call it clean, I catch the trace One bad tell and I know the face [HOOK 1 — CODE] Blacklight code, blacklight code You can’t hide what the glare exposed Blacklight code, blacklight code What you buried leaves a ghost [VERSE 2] New phone, same line, same old test He want my peace, I want my check Sneak in the door with a quiet grin Whole block wake when I slide through thin Mud on the tires, wet paint drip One wrong step and you lose your grip He try to front like he never seen But I catch the stain where it should’ve been clean You spit deceit at my feet Like somebody still believes I hear the lie before it lands See the shake before the hands [HOOK 2 — SHOW] Blacklight show, blacklight show Every hidden thing begins to glow Blacklight show, blacklight show What you buried leaves a ghost [VERSE 3 — slightly more inward] Low glow burning across my face I know that look, I know that place One more room with the same old spin One more door I already been in I see through before you let me in I stand still as the room spins I walk two steps, then change my mind One more drink, I’ll be fine No one talking, still I hear Every excuse I leave in here Every clean line leaves a stain Every old lie knows my name [HOOK 3 — KNOW] Blacklight know, blacklight know I see the part you never show Blacklight know, blacklight know What you buried leaves a ghost [BREAK] Blacklight shows what daylight lets pretend Kill the white light let it riot Blacklight shows what daylight lets pretend No place left to hide inside it [VERSE 4 — stripped back] No dealer call no second face No dirty room no crowded place No one lying no one near Just that voice I always hear I see through before I let me in I stand still while the room spins [FINAL HOOK — stripped] Blacklight code Blacklight show Blacklight know Now I know [OUTRO] blacklight on mirror clean there you are looking back at me
