The Gaslight District Song “IGNITE IT”

[VERSE 1]
Where you going?
Got ulterior motives?
Just like a game of poker —
Upper hand, I'll never show it
What you saw, you won't be showing
Cement you, have you floating
Sink to the bottom of the ocean —
I'll have you yelling "Go Fish!"
Now just look at where this lands you
Didn't do what you've been asked
But when held at gunpoint, you're a statue
Now a beatdown's what we'll hand you
They think I'm fragile, think I'm brand new
Am I a monster wrapped in a mask?
I know I've got black blood on my hands —
But I will show you what I can do!
For how hard I've fought
For all that he's taught
I think I deserve a spot in the family mob
I'll never get caught
Secrets are lost —
And if they are found, I will speak to the gods
Play, you'll get chopped
Protecting you at all costs
Don't wanna be where I wound —
This is not what you want
Cut-throat type of boss
Somewhat of a “don”

[Chorus 1]
I'm jumping with joy
'Cause being dead is a gift
With every flip of the coin
My daddy's making my wish
Far from polished or poised
We came up from the sticks (burn 'em down!)
But no lighter — we're the spark that ignites it!

[VERSE 2]
Open up your eyes —
You have nowhere left to hide
We will put you on ice
You'll be swept beneath the tide
When the angels bear a gift
For the dead it's time to rise
Now my daughter's growing wings —
Taking off, prepare for flight
Always try to wear a smile
When I'm put underneath the lights
Our anatomy's not right
Skeletons without the spine
But can you decode this?
All the demons in my mind —
Manipulated and gaslit
And now it's time to pay the price
And now the party's here —
Made it happen
When I look into my mirror
I am laughing
I feed on fear
I ain't acting
Sick of this role I've been casting
They're all here —
And they're clapping
You won't sleep in your casket
Blood will spill on your mattress
Your life's an egg — and it's cracking

[BRIDGE]
With a human for a daughter, tell me —
What do ya get?
In a whole family full of monsters, tell me —
Where do I sit?
'Cause I just feel like an imposter
Blending in like one of them —
An odd one wrapped up in a costume
Dressing up and fitting in
Even if I'm starting from the bottom
Going all the way to the tip
Not just a lamb up for the slaughter —
I am something different
The only thing in my head
The only thing I've dreamt:
To join the smiling dead
I'll make that more than just a wish!

[Chorus 2]
They said I would disappoint
'Cause I don't follow a script —
But every tip, every coin’s what makes my story a twist
I thought I was the poison
Let me go from the hitch...
Broke it down
But picked it up —
And now it's time to ignite it
