Lights Out is the ninth track off Maybe There’s No Heaven, Short Stack’s fifth LP. It was premiered on the Australian radio station Triple J the same night of the album release. The song features trap-influenced drums and heavy modulation to the vocals to create a hard hitting track.
[Verse 1]
Why you acting so high like you got heaven beneath you?
We both got blood on our hands tonight
Hold me closer til it’s over
I’m insane enough for the both of us
[Pre-Chorus]
No matter how hard I try
You know I never could leave you
And I’m confessing my sins tonight
And I swear you’ll never see me again
[Chorus]
Watch me turn the lights out
Love me with your knives out
Never sleep, make no sound
We gon’ burn this motherfucking house down
Headshots, drown me in your teardrops
Bury me so deep now
We got’ burn this motherfucking house down
[Verse 2]
Swear I used to get high and now I only get even
And I got blood on my hands tonight
Hold me closer til it’s over
Swear to God, I barely know ya
[Pre-Chorus]
No matter how hard I try, you know I never could leave you
[Chorus]
Watch me turn the lights out
Love me with your knives out
Never sleep, make no sound
We gon’ burn this motherfucking house down
Headshots, drown me in your teardrops
Bury me so deep now
We gon’ burn this motherfucking house down
[Bridge]
Swear I used to get high and now I only get even
And I got blood on my hands tonight
And I got blood on my hands tonight
[Chorus]
Watch me turn the lights out
Love me with your knives out
Never sleep, make no sound
We gon' burn this motherfucking house down
Headshots, drown me in your teardrops
Bury me so deep now
We gon' burn this motherfucking house down
