A [?] any other night
Mindlessly scrolling through my phone when I'm [?]
It looks like she's met someone new
She's happier than I ever knew

But I, couldn't help but cry
When I compared
Her life with mine
I fell asleep under
Artificial light

I ran into some high school friends
I haven't seen in years
We lied about how our lives were going
Smiled and swallowed big
I hope my emptiness didn't show
When they set this on me in my TV show

But I, just running hard
From all the best, things
In life
We hung ourselves under
Artificial light

We found a new [?]
Allowed to be human once more
Sometimes, you just have
To ride the waves as they come

The news cracked me open like an egg on the stove
And she asked about my interest in this, miracle word
I broke down and cried, with no way to hide

I'm tired, of living with myself
And all these thoughts
They run through my mind
Maybe there's hope in the artificial light

Maybe I'd get a [?] if I found her
Artificial light
