lyrics:

Light it up
A little louder
Light it up
And no surrender
Light it up
So they remember you were there

Johnny was a quiet kid
Didn’t really fit the way the other boys did
He kept to himself real hush hush
Didn’t really have friends didn’t talk much

He tells no one what he’s wanting to do
Hides his secret in his bedroom
He’s all a bit cold by that point
He’s only one side of the coin to those with

No concern
No time for
Consequences
No regrets this
In his head its

Light it up
A little louder
Light it up
And no surrender
Light it up
So they remember you were there

Light it up
Nobody gets you
Light it up
They’ll never take you
Light it up
You’re bulletproof from
Thoughts and prayers

Johnny was a troubled kid
Johnny was a saint, Johnny was the best then
Maybe Johnny was a fuckwit drop kick
A psychopath lunatic
Radicalized or sick

He tells no one about the plan in his head or what he hid under his bed all the spent mags, hashtags, and red flags
The pumped kicks, ballistics, they miss this
For execution commentary politics

No control
No concern for
Consequences
No regrets this
In his head its

Light it up
A little louder
Light it up
And no surrender
Light it up
So they remember you were there

Light it up
Nobody gets you
Light it up
They’ll never take you
Light it up
You’re bulletproof from
Thoughts and prayers

Light it up
He says he wants to
Light it up
Nobody stoped you
Light it up
He’s bulletproof right up to the end

Light it up
A little louder
Light it up
And no surrender
Light it up
So they remember you were there

Light it up
Nobody gets you
Light it up
They’ll never take you
You’re bulletproof from
All the thoughts and prayers

Johnny was a good kid
And there’s a million other Johnnies with bodies in mind you’ll find that they’e the same as him
Is it the outcome? The symptom? The problem?
Does it even matter?

I’ve been having SUCH a rough time recently, and I feel like every time I hit a low, Koethe swoops in with a new song and saves me. Everything you write is genuinely a work of art. Happy to see you still writing that good music… it’s gotten me through so much more than I can say. 💚💯

I've always been an extroverted and talkative kid, so I don't know how this feels, but I've had some friends over the years that were shockingly abstract, creative and had world-changing ideas. However, due to their high introversion and neuroticism, they couldn't present their art to the world

these were the friends that isolated themselves the most, and even if I tried they couldn't come out of their shell; too many "coulds" and "shoulds", to many barriers before interacting with others. I just hope they're happy that way, or that they get better if they're struggling

[Macavity]

I never knew I needed this song until right now. Welcome back Koethe.

[AudiMati]

I've been listenin to ya since freshman year of highschool and I'm a senior in college now. I'm so glad your great tunes have been a constant for me for so long ^-^

[Cryan-]

I swear Koethe always uploads a new song whenever I need it the most. This song is an absolute banger

[InannaGrey]

I've been listening to your music for eight years, and you never stop to impress with the level of emotional impact with each song. I hope you keep it up, and I hope you keep doing well.

[wisp]

Johny isn't ok, I think I understand, either way, another great song by the man himself

[august_lavender]

9 years passed since i heard your first song Rest. Damn, almost decade.. You're still the one I've listened to for such a long period. Thanks a lot for everything.
