[Intro]
Cold nights, empty sockets, nothing but darkness here
Mama on the phone again, begging through her tears
Click-click-click, that's the sound of hope running dry
One more day without heat, watching momma try
[Verse 1]
Sitting in my bedroom, wrapped in three layers deep
Frost on the windows, can't afford no heat to sleep
Council flat memories, watching mama count change
Praying that the meter holds till her next wage
Empty cupboards, empty pockets, but we still survive
Living life in intervals, just trying to stay alive
Power company calling, threatening to cut us loose
What's a couple hundred pounds when you got nothing left to lose?
[Chorus]
Pennies on the meter, survival's electric prayer
Darkness ain't nothing when you've already been there
System got us begging just to keep our lights on
Been fighting through the darkness since the day that I was born
[Verse 2]
F*ck a payment plan when there's nothing left to give
They don't understand what it means just trying to live
Huddled round a space heater, sharing body heat
While them fat cats counting profits on their fancy street
Remember mama crying when the lights went black
Me pretending I was sleeping, lying on my back
Now I'm in the booth, turning pain into my craft
Making sure my mama never feels that draft
[Chorus]
Pennies on the meter, survival's electric prayer
Darkness ain't nothing when you've already been there
System got us begging just to keep our lights on
Been fighting through the darkness since the day that I was born
[Verse 3]
Now I'm getting money, first thing I did was pay
Made sure mama's meter's running every single day
Still hear that clicking sound in my f*cking dreams
Poverty's a ghost that makes you wanna scream
But we made it through them nights, somehow we survived
Now I'm telling stories 'bout the darkness we survived
For every kid that's sitting cold in their room tonight
This one's for you, keep fighting, it's gonna be alright
[Outro]
Click-click-click, that sound won't leave my head
But mama's meters full now, we ain't seeing red
Sometimes in the darkness is where you find your light
Keep your head up high, we gonna be alright
