Nightsong

We got lost along the way

No one was looking forward

Went out to find some change

And I found, somehow, that moment passed

Now I'm always tired

Now I'm always drained

We were promised so much more than this bore

It died on the vine

I think about it every night

Same old dream, I'm losing teeth

Now that I'm awake, what does that mean?

Someone tell me what it means

Every night, sacrifice that day's light

And I'm trapped between sleep and dream

Remembering everything that's crushing me

It died on the vine

I think about it all the time

A hurricane night shift on the coast

If I survived, why am I a ghost?

Why am I a ghost?

I'm still begging for forgiveness

From someone who doesn't care

And I'm asking for attention

From someone who's never there

I'm not saying there's no reason

I'm not saying it's not fair

It's just a promise to myself

It died on the vine

I think about it all the time

A hurricane night shift on the coast

If I survived, why am I a ghost?
