Hannah Byers - Illumination

{Intro}
I wish somebody would've told me that I'd be writing my story on my own
I'll never have rational judgement in my self-destructive moments when I'm alone
Don't look at me with those eyes
You know it hurts me inside
That I'll never be the girl that I once was
I know she would've survive here
I was built to thrive here
And I'm trying to move past it
But god I wish it lasted

{Chorus}
Illumination's a product of creation
Let's turn the music up tonight
I can't afford to lose my fight
I want my life back
I'm so sick of being sad
One day I'll ignite illumination in dysphoria once again

{Verse One}
I'm getting sick of being sad
I deserve to live happily
Despite what life's thrown onto me
It's a shame I was just a kid
When I lost all security
Won't let this get the best of me

{Pre-Chorus}
This world keeps
Dragging me
Dragging me
Dragging me down
But I'm getting stronger now
I know how to stick my ground
Don't need someone else to show me how

{Chorus}
Illumination's a product of creation
Let's turn the music up tonight
I can't afford to lose my fight
I want my life back
I'm so sick of being sad
One day I'll ignite illumination in dysphoria

{Verse Two}
I'm getting good at being bad
If you don't like me then stay away
I don't need you anyway
I have people on my team
I've learned to trust they have my back
I'm getting pretty good at that

{Pre-Chorus}
This world keeps
Dragging me
Dragging me
Dragging me down
But I'm getting stronger now
I know how to stick my ground
Don't need someone else to show me how

{Chorus}
Illumination's a product of creation
Let's turn the music up tonight
I can't afford to lose my fight
I want my life back
I'm so sick of being sad
One day I'll ignite illumination in dysphoria

{Bridge}
That little girl watched her world turn dark
Watched her whole life fall apart
Didn't believe me
Look how hard I fell
Your neglect put me through hell
But you know I'm getting older now
You know I'm getting stronger now
You know that I hold power now, now
'Cause I create my light
Get myself through these nights
Until I truly feel alive, alive

{Chorus x2}
Illumination's a product of creation
Let's turn the music up tonight
I can't afford to lose my fight
I want my life back
I'm so sick of being sad
One day I'll ignite illumination in dysphoria
Illumination's a product of creation
Let's turn the music up tonight
I can't afford to lose my fight
I want my life back
I'm so sick of being sad
One day I'll ignite illumination in dysphoria once again
