    Since a thread like this hasn't been created yet, I figured I will start one...

    Here's what I'm coming up with... Feel free to let me know of any corrections and I will edit the OP.


    A Light That Never Comes lyrics:

    Nah you don't know me
    Lightning above and a fire below me
    You cannot catch me, cannot hold me
    You cannot stop, much less control me

    When it rains it pours
    When the floodgates open, brace your shores
    That pressure don't care when it breaks your door
    Say it's all you can take, better take some more

    'Cause I know what it's like to test fate
    Had my shoulders pressed with that weight
    Stood up strong in spite of that hate

    The night gets darkest right before dawn
    What don't kill you makes you more strong
    And I've been waiting for it so long

    The nights go on
    Waiting for a light that never comes
    I chase the sun
    Waiting for a light that never comes
    Oh oh oh
    Waiting for a light that never comes

    When I was young they told me, they said
    Make your bed you lie in that bed
    A king can only reign til it's dead
    Here comes that day, it's off with his head

    The night gets darkest right before dawn
    What don't kill you makes you more strong
    You'll have my mercy then when you're gone

    The nights go on
    Waiting for a light that never comes
    I chase the sun
    Waiting for a light that never comes
    Oh oh oh
    Waiting for a light that never comes

    I told them, nah you don't know me
    Lightning above and a fire belowme
    You cannot catch me, you cannot hold me
    You cannot stop much less control me

    When it rains it pours
    When the floodgates open, brace your shores
    That pressure don't care, it breaks your door
    Say it's all you can take, better take some more

    Oh oh oh oh
    Waiting for a light that never comes
    The nights go on
    Waiting for a light that never comes
    I chase the sun
    Waiting for a light that never comes
    Oh oh oh
    Waiting for a light that never comes

    Great work! They ''can't stop or control me'' parts totally give a LITE vibe.

    I'm really loving this track.

    ''The nights are long'' Maybe? Idk.

    "you'll have my mercy, then, when you're gone"

    I wonder if the song is actually finished ...

    Great work on deciphering the lyrics. I really enjoy this song. I can't wait for the studio version.

    This video might make it a little easier to decipher the lyrics to the song.

    I've made some more changes to the lyrics. :)

    Thank you! It took me some time! :lol:

    I am digging it too. The more lyrics I find out, the more of a "MFR" subject matter comes about. Also, I don't think it is "The night's are long." I definitely hear "go on." Thank you though for trying to help!

    :awesome:

    That line makes sense. I still hear "Therefore", though. I put that in though because it does make sense. Also, I wouldn't be surprised if changes are made to the studio track ala QWERTY.

    Thank you! Me either!

    Lol! Jeff, I had that already at the bottom of the OP, but thanks anyway homie!

    I think it's "when the flood gates open, raise the shores" instead of "erase the shores". At least that's what I hear.

    I heard that before too, but in context that makes absolutely no sense...

    I agree, but it just sounded that way to me. We need the studio version damn it!

    Mike's rapping is embarrassingly bad here. Sounds like a 15 year old wrote it.

    I don't know man... A 15 year old wouldn't rhyme me with me the whole section... more like 8 or 9 year old.

    don't know/fire below/cannot hold/less control. It's far from best lyrics ever written but he isn't rhyming just ''me''.
