Hannah Byers - Illumination

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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
