Atmosphere That Night Lyrics

That Night Lyrics

Don't even know if I can write this song

caught on a beam between right and wrong

gotta keep forward, keep straight

for the sake of why we stay awake all night long

it's not up for interpret

paranoid of exploiting the verdict

but in the same breath

I got thoughts that I wanna express and let surface

this ain't for props or the pop culture

it's about a balloon that got punctured

the sunshine's fun til it burns someone

and we all got burnt that summer

She was sixteen

another young angel with clipped wings

she came to the shows 

but I never met her

don't even know if she was listening

that night, we lost a supporter

that night, somebody lost a daughter

he raped and killed her at the venue

I can't comprehend what her friends must've went through

that night, the sun went dark

now watch everyone on the tour bus fall apart

that night, Lord have mercy

the music died that night in Albuquerque



oooh, I can feel it down in my soul



Stop, it can't be true right?

this type of real doesn't happen to you right?

Cresent, Murs, Dibbs, JayBird,

I wanna go home now and start a new life

wish I could protect the kids

guess safety is hit or miss

with a prior convicted sex offense against a four year old

why we let you live?

I don't know what I'm trying to write 

but there's a part of me that keeps dying that night

and when I think about her mother

I become another number that wants you to suffer

you're locked up for now

you have no more chances to steal the children's laughs

and if you ever find God, better pray to her

and ask that we never cross paths



Ooooh, I can feel it down in my soul
