[Chorus]
As the sun sets
The day grows dry
I'll get into bed and close my eyes
Something captures me
Takes hold of my sight
I've grown a love that new
Night
[Verse 1]
Up at night late when I'm ready to sleep
Just gotta close my eyes tight, and count down sheep
Then all the thoughts from the day flood my thoughts
It's like a razor blade, slicing swift, its too damn hot
Never mind im not, maybe im just cold
I'll put one leg out, weaving sheet and blanket folds
Then my eyes spring open, and the fire begins
Why is it now, and not then, that my day must begin
I get up walk around, I try hard not to pace
All for naught, I'm just walking and my steps I retrace
That's alright, I didn't want to go to sleep tonight
Too much work, too much thought, all part of my inner fight
And I'm afraid i truly am, the fear is deep inside of me
Where will all these thoughts go when i drift off to sleep
I'll remember me from a dream i could have had a tough break
Luckily, just for me, its dawn, and I'm still awake
It's four a.m. somewhere
[Chorus]
[Verse 2]
And the tossing and the turning, no it never grows old
I kind of like the insomnia running through my bones
And if someones gonna ask me why I'm so tired
I'll look at em with teary eyes and tell em that I'm really quite wired
Never mind I'm not, maybe I'm just weird
I have the shadow from the night before, its ugly head has reared
And when if find myself stuggling to get this in one take
I'll reboot with some caffeine, maybe you can relate
Relations stop there, its at the ceiling i stare
With heavy thoughts and heavy hands, and slight fears for nightmares
I just hope that i will become brave one night, so i can truly be the victor of this tiring inner fight
I don't wanna be afraid, and thats the truth I'm telling you
I'm tired of being tired, and my own self abuse
I'll be sober, ill be free in my sweet escape
Luckily just for me its dawn, and I'm still awake
Luckily just for me its dawn, and I'm still awake
It's four a.m. somewhere
[Chorus]
