[Verse]

Light zips by with a flash in the air

Sound lags slow like it just doesn’t care

You’d think their glow is sharp and divine

But words spill out

Oh no

Not so fine

[Chorus]

Bright till the chatter begins to unfold

Wisdom’s a currency some never hold

Shiny facade

But truths take a tweak

They seemed so smart till you heard them speak

[Verse 2]

Eyes like diamonds

They sparkle

They gleam

But brains and wit ain’t always the team

Hear their ideas

The fiction's exposed

Suddenly

Brilliance just seems decomposed

[Bridge]

Lenses can sparkle

Mirrors can shine

But depth’s a treasure

Not always aligned

Shallow pools reflect

But they don’t run deep

What glistens ain't gold

Some truths make you weep

[Chorus]

Bright till the chatter begins to unfold

Wisdom’s a currency some never hold

Shiny facade

But truths take a tweak

They seemed so smart till you heard them speak

[Verse 3]

Lesson to learn

Don’t fall for the glow

What’s beneath the surface is where you should go

Bright ain’t always wise

Judge soft

Not hard

The mind's the pearl

Not a greeting card

[Verse 4]

Lesson to learn

Don’t fall for the glow

What’s beneath the surface is where you should go

Bright ain’t always wise

Judge soft

Not hard

The mind's the pearl

Not a greeting card
