[Intro]
Power's out again, yeah
Can't keep running from these demons in my head
Every night's the same shit, same fix
[Verse 1]
Climbing poles at midnight, wire cutters in my grip
Just like daddy taught me fore he took his final trip
Sparks flying like the thoughts inside my brain
Need that juice flowing through my veins, yeah
Marcus hit me up before he overdosed
Said the system's rigged, we're all just f*cking ghosts
Now I'm tapping lines like I'm tapping veins
Different poison, same old f*cking game
[Chorus]
Stealing watts to keep the lights on
Breaking in just to feel alive
Stealing watts to keep the lights on
Just like I stole hope from broken lives
Yeah, yeah
[Verse 2]
Empty bottles, empty sockets on the wall
Mom's prescriptions didn't cure shit at all
London's dark but my past's darker still
Chasing highs through copper wire feels
Every surge reminds me of the rush
When them pills would hit and silence all the fuss
Now I'm burning bridges, burning fuses too
Guess some habits, they just follow you
[Bridge]
They say crime don't pay
But neither does playing by their rules
In the dark we fade
Power to the desperate and cruel
[Chorus]
Stealing watts to keep the lights on
Breaking in just to feel alive
Stealing watts to keep the lights on
Just like I stole hope from broken lives
Yeah, yeah
[Outro]
Power's fading out again
Like Marcus did that night
Guess we're all just stealing time
Till they cut our final line
