Sing to the Night

I'm gettin' down, not in a good way If I can make it, then here I'll stay Ashes and bottlecaps, string and timber restin' on my lap Coffee stains in an old book These pages, I'll take a look Spent time in my old town Eager men fighting for the crown Sent fightin in a barren land Lost faith in the will of Man Found yourself in the Northern Lights I found you and the words you type in here, no birds sing Played it again until my ears ring I sing to the walls, I sing to the night I squint my eyes in the morning light What was it like back in '43? humble homes built on quiet streets I was there much more after this Growing up there, I reminisce Did you have friends on the monument? Did you ever come and visit here? Our final hour, nothing left to prove rain hammers on a tin roof in here, no birds sing Played it again until my ears ring I sing to the walls, I sing to the night I squint my eyes in the morning light Fall in to the night sound waves become light everything's alright in here, in here lock the door, can't come in it's not your fault, stubbornness within before this, i was up all night it was all for us, running out of time weary eyes, weary head but inside mine, I thought what laid ahead. it's a trail less travelled a cold glass, warm electric shock in a lightning storm I sang to the walls I sang all the lines tore out my hair and drank all of the wine Ideas come, ambition goes plant the seed and it grows, and it grows then I water it, but then I cut it down you won't hear me, no i won't make a sound I'm a punching bag that they won't miss I'm a tangled mess I'm a slave to this I sang to the walls, I sang to the night I squint my eyes in the morning light
