"Brighten" lyrics - JERRY CANTRELL

JERRY CANTRELL
"Brighten"

Solemn drifter
You have your days
And all these wonders
Never took your pain away

[Pre-Chorus:]
Magnifiers turn your
Sunshine to hell
Time you leave this place
You know, oh, so well

[Chorus:]
Brighten
Brighten

Better angels
But you don't pray
Push back on the darkness
In which you damn well like to play

[Pre-Chorus:]
Now you find yourself
In the same boat again
Going out alone on this ocean
Not "if," but "when"

[Chorus:]
Brighten
Brighten

[Bridge:]
Only reap what you sow
Only reap what you sow

[Guitar solo]

All your love has not
Gone to waste
Shine like starlight
Leading home from the edge of space

[Pre-Chorus:]
Magnifiers turn your
Sunshine to hell
Time you leave this place
You know, oh, so well

[Chorus:]
Brighten
Brighten

[Bridge:]
Only reap what you sow
Only reap what you sow

[Refrain:]
Yeah...

[Bridge:]
Only reap what you sow
Only reap what you sow

[Chorus:]
Brighten
Brighten
