Last time I told myself it will be the last time,
But here I am. Just one more time...

Dark room, door clicks shut. She lights up bright, right on time
Like she's designed to blind anyone that gets inside
And I do. I walk in every time like I'm not the dumbsh*t who fell for itthe last five times
But I do it anyway n I'll do it again. Room key in hand, eyes wide, staring at something I should've left behind
The lie right behind the light n I still buy it every f*cking time
And I know she don't glow for me, she glows for the door, for whoever comes through
Saw the wire before the show still walked across the floor, signed my name, she didn't of course
Do not disturb hanging on the door. Checked in, always knowing I should've checked out
But I didn't. Turned around, should've learned by now
cuz I burned here before n the burn felt like something
so I earned another turn just to burn some more

Stay on, stay bright
like you give a f*ck who walks in tonight
Right on cue every time same glow same show same light
Nothing but a con every f*cking night

Stay on, stay bright
like you give a f*ck who walks in tonight
Right on cue every time same glow same show same light
Nothing but a con every f*cking night

One night I show up, she's already on
I didn't knock, saw the light through the crack
somebody else's car in the lot. F*ck
Thought I was smart, I was not
Sat there in the dark, parked staring hard at the clock
Too far gone to f*cking restart not far enough to stop
cuz I'm just the idiot who came back
again n again n again. So I came back again
Paid up front, flick off the switch n it clicks
Lights hit, no doubt, she don't flinch, yeah, she don't
Doesn't matter who shows up, same trick, same amount
Whenever I come around she's on before I sit down
Paid by the hour n still overcharged
Drained the account without a sound
I paid the bill, she stayed on, bled me dry
no twitch, wired wrong every stitch
High voltage low value that was the whole f*cking pitch?
Took the current for granted which is rich
Free trial sh*t gave me the bright version til the real one hit
Nah, f*ck that. She's just a wick I lit

Stay on, stay bright
Like you give a f*ck who walks in tonight
Right on cue every time
same glow, same show, same light
Nothing but a con
every f*cking night

(Every f*cking night)
(Every f*cking night)
(Every f*cking night)

F*ck this. I'm done n I mean that sh*t
She was a filler episode of a show I should've quit
months ago but I sat through every bit
Same building, same room, same bullsh*t
Screwed in from the start n I missed it
Glass outside, vacuum in hollow full of gas, that's it
cuz she was never that bright, just dim sh*t
Every motel has one just like her, I knew it just wouldn't admit
So I pulled the plug n she went out just like that
No fight, no fuss, just dust in a room
that don't give a f*ck who checks in or checks out
She couldn't hold a flame, never could
I was dumb enough to trust
something short-lived like everything she was
Nothing but a rush, aint worth much
So I grabbed her n I squeezed til she popped
And then everything stopped
Room went dark
I stood there breathing hands in my pockets
staring at the ceiling like something important
used to be... somewhere...
Nah. forget about it. Like I care
Couldn't see a thing n I didn't need to
I already knew what was there
Nothing
I turned around, closed the door
No refund, just something I can't get out
I left, stood in the hall
Looked at the bulb
barely flickering above the exit sign
Funny
Looked just like mine

Stay on, stay bright
Like you give a f*ck who walks in tonight
Right on cue every time
same glow, same show, same light
Nothing but a con
every f*cking night

(Every f*cking night)
(Every f*cking night)

(Stay on, stay bright)
(Stay on, stay bright)
