AS THE NIGHT COMES
The alarm rings and lights up my room
The smell of coffee brewing in the kitchen
Lightens up my mood
Each day is like the one before
And I probably like tomorrow
I try to stay busy but when my head hits the pillow
CHORUS
As the night comes to take me
As the night comes to make me
As the night comes to break me down
As the night comes to shake me
As the night comes to stake me
As the night comes to break me down
In my bed my mind wanders
And so did you
The bed is cold and empty as I toss and turn
The whole night through
I use anxiety
To treat my drugs
But I am weak and lonely
Like a junkie with a hole he needs to plug
BRIDGE
It used to be I’d sleep the whole night through
Peaceful as a baby
Dreaming blissful thoughts of you
Nighttime is my mortal enemy
There is no relief
It exists to torture me
The alarm rings and I’m glad it’s through
Another dreary night that’s filled with darkness and the thoughts of you
Daytime is the only time
When I don’t try to hurry
But once again enough the night will come
And once again I worry
