Night Owl

As the night it breathes you in

Turn over what was said again, and again

The cold side it won't suffice

To put out these thousand thought fires raging through your mind

And the world's in the way tonight

Weighing heavier than ever in the light

How do you get through these hours

Seems an endless climb

When its like this I go back

To a different time

You were younger

Thinking you knew more than ever you have

Than ever you did

Than ever you will

I'm not a night owl 3am doesn't suit me well

Turn out the light I'm waiting here and it feels like hell

I'm not a night owl 3am doesn't suit me well

Please

Take me to some sleep

then the night it spits you out

Stumble trembling through your house

Open your mouth to talk

stack the words any order meaning stays obscured

And at this point I am

Hoping this is just a phase

Hoping it can end and ill awake to brighter days

Hoping there's truth in all the kind things people say

When they want to avoid getting deep into it

When it's like this take me back to another life

She was so graceful

Un-imposing with her wisdom and full of a joy that you won't break

Whatever you are made of

A joy it's been harder lately to obtain

I'm not a night owl 3am doesn't suit me well

Turn out the light I'm waiting here and it feels like hell

I'm not a night owl 3am doesn't suit me well

I'm not a night owl 3am doesn't suit me well

Turn out the light I'm waiting here and it feels like hell

Please

Take me to some sleep

Sleep sleep sleep
