Rachel Druckenmiller - Lightbulbs Lyrics

We feel their warmth
We fan their flame
While they silently suffer in pain

They shine like a star
So happy from afar
But they feel all alone in the dark

How we're showing isn't working
We pretend we're okay when we know that we're not
What we feel we try to conceal

So check on the lightbulbs
You know who they are
The ones that burn brightest
The ones that ignite us
They live like a spark

So check on the lightbulbs
Before they go out
We don't see them dimming
The light they're emitting
Until they fade out

So check on the lightbulbs

They're trapped in a mind
That's telling them lies
Like "You'll never get through it this time"

Just be the strong one
The nothing's ever wrong one
The go-along-to-get-along one
You're fine

How we're showing isn't working
We pretend we're okay when we know that we're not
What if we revealed what is real?

So check on the lightbulbs
You know who they are
The ones that burn brightest
The ones that ignite us
They live like a spark

So check on the lightbulbs
Before they go out
We don't see them dimming
The light they're emitting
Until they fade out

Pick up the phone
Give them a call
Be there and listen
Show up and be the light for them

So check on the lightbulbs
You know who they are
The ones that burn brightest
The ones that ignite us
They live like a spark

So check on the lightbulbs (this little light of mine)
Before they go out (I'm gonna let it shine)
We don't see them dimming (ahh, ahh)
The light they're emitting
Until they fade out (check on the, check on the, check on the light)

This little light of mine
I'm gonna let it shine
Let it shine
Let it shine
