[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
