I've been reintroduced to the Night. I saw him roll in from the east, Bringing the deepest blue velvet to Penetrate the cracks in the pavement. Midas' touch undone. The golden people unfastened their masks And hang them in the sky. Thoughts of their vices occupy their minds. Resume the hunt. The lonely ghosts blend into indigo shadows But I see them nonetheless. Solemn faces with glassy eyes, A heart that pumps no blood. No one offers what they truly want. Resume the show. The innocent, they rest in their beds, While we inhale the breath of Night, Intoxicate to liberate, quickly now! Before the morning comes.

Nothing good happens after midnight
I've been reintroduced to the Night. I saw him roll in from the east, Bringing the deepest blue velvet to Penetrate the cracks in the pavement. Midas' touch undone. The golden people unfastened their masks And hang them in the sky. Thoughts of their vices occupy their minds. Resume the hunt. The lonely ghosts blend into indigo shadows But I see them nonetheless. Solemn faces with glassy eyes, A heart that pumps no blood. No one offers what they truly want. Resume the show. The innocent, they rest in their beds, While we inhale the breath of Night, Intoxicate to liberate, quickly now! Before the morning comes.
