Spotlights Lyrics - Disappearing In Airports - Candlebox

Prison bars inside our homes 

Gone way too far this time 

It's skin on skin for skin tonight 

And I stand in plain sight 

I watch it drown 

Where the fires burn right beside, 

they'll burn it to the ground 

And we'll never know 

we'll never know. 

Paper plates and dinner trays 

Stacked away, stomach groans. 

To see you see the sight of me 

Would surely break my bones 

I wash it down 

And the fires burned bright outside 

my house it's not a home 

And we'll never know 

we'll never know. 

Under these spotlights down on the streets I roam 

I'm looking for prophets born from these broken homes 

And under this sunshine revealed your brilliant cast 

If you never burn bright, if you never take flight 

you're always looking back. 

Swept away from holidays 

Had to learn to play pretend. 

A list to list a list of things 

I wish that I could send 

I toss it out 

The "once upon a time" for you never reached this blighted home 

And you'll never know 

and you'll never know 

oh you'll never know. 

Under these spotlights down on the streets I roam 

I'm looking for prophets born from these broken homes 

And under this sunshine revealed your brilliant cast 

If you never burn bright, if you never take flight 

you're always looking back. 

Momma said goodnight, tried her best to keep you warm 

The cold outside it broke her down, 

the fire gone, papa left so long ago 

And it's been so long, and it's been so long 

wonder who you have to blame 

Sitting under this spotlight you find yourself ready for the change. 

Prison bars inside our home 

Went way too far that night 

Was skin on skin for skin my son, 

And you stood in plain sight 

Looking for spotlights down on the streets I roam 

I'm looking for prophets born from these broken homes 

And under this sunshine revealed your brilliant cast 

If you never burn bright, if you never take flight 

you're always looking back 

you're always looking back 

Under these spotlights 

Under these spotlights 

Under these spotlights yeah 

Under these spotlights yeah 

Under these spotlights 

Under these spotlights 

Under these spotlights ohh 

Under these spotlights.
