When night falls
the suns last rays are too soon forgotten
and the temperature drops
just like my heartbeat
Smiles quickly turn into tears
unspoken words and broken promises
the streets are almost as empty as I am
Try to drown out everything but the sound of the rain
loneliness is my only real best friend
my thoughts are darker than the night sky
and I wonder if I'm still alive
Cut my arms but I still can't feel
maybe reality is the dream
dead but breathing
I'm the ghost of the person I used to be
Wrapped in a blanket of sadness
my tears have become all too familiar
the rain sings me a lullaby
and I pray to never wake up again under this long dead sky

When night falls
the suns last rays are too soon forgotten
and the temperature drops
just like my heartbeat
Smiles quickly turn into tears
unspoken words and broken promises
the streets are almost as empty as I am
Try to drown out everything but the sound of the rain
loneliness is my only real best friend
my thoughts are darker than the night sky
and I wonder if I'm still alive
Cut my arms but I still can't feel
maybe reality is the dream
dead but breathing
I'm the ghost of the person I used to be
Wrapped in a blanket of sadness
my tears have become all too familiar
the rain sings me a lullaby
and I pray to never wake up again under this long dead sky
