Candlebox - Spotlights Lyrics
Prison bars inside our homes
Gone way too far this time
It's skin on skin for skin tonight
And I stand in plain sight
I watch it drown
They'll burn it to the ground
And we'll never know
We'll never know
Paper plates and dinner trays
Stacked away, stomach groans
To see you see the sight of me
Would surely break my bones
I wash it down
And the fires burned bright outside
And we'll never know
We'll never know
Under these spotlights down on the streets I roam
I'm looking for prophets born from these broken homes
And under this sunshine revealed your brilliant cast
If you never burn bright, you never take flight and you're always looking back
Swept away from holidays
Had to learn to play pretend
A list to list a list of things
I wish that I could send
I toss it out
The "once upon a time" for you
Never reached this blighted home
You'll never know
And you'll never know
Oh you'll never know
Under these spotlights down on the streets I roam
I'm looking for prophets born from these broken homes
And under this sunshine revealed your brilliant cast
If you never burn bright, you never take flight and you're always looking back
Momma said goodnight, tried her best to keep you warm
The cold outside, it broke her down
The fire gone, papa left so long ago
And it's been so long, it's been so long
Wonder who you have to blame
Sitting under this spotlight
You find yourself ready for the change
Prison bars inside our home
Went way too far that night
Was skin on skin for skin, my son
And you stood in plain sight
Looking for the spotlights down on the streets I roam
I'm looking for prophets born from these broken homes
And under this sunshine revealed your brilliant cast
If you never burn bright, you never take flight and you're always looking back
Always looking back
Under this spotlight [repeat]

Candlebox Spotlights Comments
This song is amazing it’s sad it’s not the first thing I see when I look up spotlights
I love this song! This band is one of my favorites
This sounds very similar to Under the Bridge.
best song on the new record.
I love candlebox
Kevin Martin is amazing, every band he's in sounds great, the Hi watts, The gracious few and of course candlebox, love the new album.
simply amazing .... I would like to hear from Kevin himself the meaning of the lyrics .... seems to be about a broken home and from all the times I heard him speak of his father and the love he had for his mother that this song isn't about his personal life .....great album seen them for the 25 time this year every since 1993 never a weak show always top notch even the times without Pete or Scottkeep on going don't ever stop!!!
prison bars inside our homes
going way too far this time
its skin on skin for skin tonight
and I stand in plain sight
watch you drown
where the fires burn right beside burn it too the ground
and well never know
and well never know
paper plates and dinner trays
stepped a way and started growns
just to see the sea the side of me
would surely brake my bones
wash it down
and the fires burning bright outside a house its not a home
and well never know
and well never know
under these spotlights
down on the streets I roam
looking for a profit
born from these broken bones
under the sunshine
I can feel your brilliant cast
if you never burn bright
never take flight
always looking back
mmmmmm
oh
swept away from holiday
had to learn to play pretend
a list a list of list of things
a ways that I could sell
I toss it out
once upon a time for you never reached this flight at home
and well never know
and well never know
oh you'll never know
under these spotlight
down on the streets I roam
looking for a profit
born from these broken homes
under this sunshine
revealed your brilliant cast
if you never burn bright
never take flight
always looking back
mama said goodnight
try her best to keep you warm
the cold outside you bunker down
the fire going papa lit so long ago
its been so long
its been so long
wonder who you have to blame
sitting under these spotlights
you find yourself ready for a change
prison bars inside our homes
living way to far that night
with skin on skin for skin my son
and you stood in plain sight
looking for a spotlight
down on the streets I roam
im looking for a profit
born from these broken homes
under this sunshine
revealed your brilliant cast
if you never burn bright
never take flight yeah
you always looking back
always looking back
