This Night

Tonight

There is this night, you know? It set upon my mind…
It’s dark and cold, and makes me slumber
Its icy finger scratches at my eyes
And leaves me blind
To blunder…

There is this silence that’s smothering my screams,
It makes me deaf and leaves me numb,
It’s just too loud but yet so thin.
Pierces my dreams,
They’re gone…

If there was hope, I can’t remember,
For it was never meant to last.
Like everything, it has surrendered
To the past.

So…
There’s this night, you know?
When even darkness seems too bright,
When even blood tires to flow.

It is my night, it is my time.

Tonight is mine.
