Courtney Act has stated about the song: “Drag Race was an amazing experience I am forever grateful for, but afterwards I got lost in a dark place and it took me a while to find my way out, but I did. The hard times broke me down and I had to rebuild who I was, but in some strange way it was the grea...
[Verse 1]
Standing here in the pitch black
All alone under attack
How can I find a way back?
Here in the dark
Falling stumbling I can't see
All I know is it's hurting me
How can I find the light to turn off the dark?
[Pre-Chorus]
No more can I take
My fear starts to break
I see the light that speaks the truth
I've made my mistakes
And now in their wake
I will come through
I will Illuminate
[Chorus]
My light is not broken
Just look at me glowing
It's just the shade you cast on me
My light is not broken
Just look at me glowing
I can shine brighter than you see
I've made my mistakes
And now in their wake
I will come through
I will Illuminate
[Verse 2]
I'm trapped here in this dark place
There's no walls it's an open space
Fighting, losing, all I need is a spark
Bit my lip, what is that taste?
Blood in my mouth, I don't wanna waste
Have to let go before this hurt leaves a mark
[Pre-Chorus]
No more can I take
My fear starts to break
I see the light that speaks the truth
I've made my mistakes
And now in their wake
I will come through
I will Illuminate
[Chorus]
My light is not broken
Just look at me glowing
It's just the shade you cast on me
My light is not broken
Just look at me glowing
I can shine brighter than you see
I've made my mistakes
And now in their wake
I will come through
I will Illuminate
[Bridge]
Through the thrill of chase
Through the broken race
Through the loss of faith
I look up and find my fate
I will not pale
I will not fade
I will ignite
[Chorus]
My light is not broken
Just look at me glowing
It's just the shade you cast on me
My light is not broken
Just look at me glowing
I can shine brighter than you see
I've made my mistakes
And now in their wake
I will come through
I will Illuminate
[Outro]
Oooh, yeah
I will Illuminate
