The Night Lyrics

The Night lyrics

Sad state of those black, night streets infected with eyes; their gaze, trying
to suck me into the alleyways. We try to stand out in safety but we need to
fade to grey, get lost in the night in order to be safe in the night. But, I
still stand out tonight. Can't believe such cold, dirt blackness. I think I
need to scrub my eyes I want to step out of my skin. I think I really want to
shed these sights. But, y'know, this is the other half of Real. This is the
Dark Side. Night falls and out crawls those who are unwelcome in the day. Like
bats and insects, they are only seen in the darkness These are the defectors
from the system, they have lost their place in line and this city is breathing,
choking there is no peace here. I'm tying to figure out what it is I am missing
but the Night is so unclear. It is so unclear. I know how it is, I know exactly
how it is: Sleep through the Night, wake up to day. Forget about the Night,
clean up the day I guess if it's out of sight, it is out of the way. Who
encouraged us to think in "black and white," "day and night" Oh, Night is like
a terrible secret you never hear in the day. Night is like this city's toilet
where half the truth is flushed but it does not go away, no it does not go
away, no no I suggest you wake up, take a walk around your city block at 2am
Because I know you think this city is growing daily, but it's dying Nightly.
