"Fluorescent Light" lyrics
Haley Heynderickx & Max García Conover Lyrics
They sold it on a cross
They sold on a curve
And now it feels so cheap
Not deeper
They sold is as a little light bulb
They sold it as a sticker
And when that feels cheaper
Well it doesn't feel much deeper
There was an ancient light
There was an ancient song
Now something isn't right
Now we live in fluorescent light
They sold it as a muffin
They sold it on TV
They sold it as a tabloid
Just to try to get the best of me
They caught us in the bleakness
They caught us on our screens
Brilliant minds go to college
Just to study marketing
There was an ancient light
There was an ancient song
Now something isn't right
Now we live in fluorescent lighting
Most of all our lives
Under the same lines
In schools and prisons and dying -
Yeah it's all in fluorescent light
They sold it as an olive
They sold it as a bomb
They sold it as self-protection
As the innocent children run
Grown men want to profit
With their fingers on their trigger
But when life gets cheaper-
Then the dead have to dig deeper
There was an ancient light
There was an ancient song
Now something isn't right
It's the time of fluorescent light
Hey how'd it get so bright?
I turn off my phone
They sold on a curve
And now it feels so cheap
Not deeper
They sold is as a little light bulb
They sold it as a sticker
And when that feels cheaper
Well it doesn't feel much deeper
There was an ancient light
There was an ancient song
Now something isn't right
Now we live in fluorescent light
They sold it as a muffin
They sold it on TV
They sold it as a tabloid
Just to try to get the best of me
They caught us in the bleakness
They caught us on our screens
Brilliant minds go to college
Just to study marketing
There was an ancient light
There was an ancient song
Now something isn't right
Now we live in fluorescent lighting
Most of all our lives
Under the same lines
In schools and prisons and dying -
Yeah it's all in fluorescent light
They sold it as an olive
They sold it as a bomb
They sold it as self-protection
As the innocent children run
Grown men want to profit
With their fingers on their trigger
But when life gets cheaper-
Then the dead have to dig deeper
There was an ancient light
There was an ancient song
Now something isn't right
It's the time of fluorescent light
Hey how'd it get so bright?
I turn off my phone
