Lights Out Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Every time I'm with it alone
It picks me up
You just send me down
I can feel it rushing under my skin
You're a cage won't you let me in?
On my toes
Lock the door
Pretty face
Through the walls
Don't know if I'd be so sure again
[Chorus]
My eyes are still burning red
So turn the lights out
You're not so hard to forget
With all the lights out
[Verse 2]
Every time I'm stuck in the ground
Spin me round, won't you spin me round
You're a void, a crack in the mirror
See me now, if you could see me now
You slipped through
The night
Then walked out
Skin tight
But you don't matter that much to me
No you don't matter that much to me
[Chorus]
My eyes are still burning red
So turn the lights out
You're not so hard to forget
With all the lights out
So turn the lights out
Just turn the lights out
My eyes are still burning red
So turn the lights out
You're not so hard to forget
With all the lights out

I was doing some writing with a friend of ours, John Barrett, who’s in a band called Bass Drum of Death. I showed him a few ideas I was working on. One of them was the groove of what would become the verse of “Lights Out.” He was like, ‘This is amazing. This has got something to it.’ And...
What have the artists said about the song?
Ben Thatcher:
We were trying to find the blueprint, and when “Lights Out” came, we knew it was a good song and that we just needed to follow up with nine others.
