The Night Time

The night...
I love the night
I wouldn't say I like the night.
Why are you not the same?
Why torture me every time?
The night...
When my mind is awake, alive, and full of ideas
When my body remembers everything
Every pain I could have, in strange and beautiful places.
The night...
When inspiration is at its peak
When the pain is so bad, I can't speak.
When memories flood my mind
But I can't move; I'm just a monster.
The night...
When the lyrics make the most sense
When my pain is the most intense
The night...
When the heartbeat and the beat are all I can feel
But this agony won't let me be
I wish it would set me free.
I wish I could get my mind out of my body and run away.
The night...
I'm awake
My body wants to sleep.
My mind is as open as the lake.
My body is all soft and weak.
Yeah, I know I’m a freak.
