As lonely as the night, that is how I feel tonight
I lay down early trying to ease down the melancholy inside of me
There are a lot of things running in my mind, plenty of worries that keeps bugging me as I close my eyes
I thought I'll be able to sleep tonight but then again, I feel this is another attempt for better luck next time

It's already 3 o'clock in the early morning, but why my heart doesn't stop mourning?
There are scenarios in my mind
Don't really know if they are there to calm me down or to frustrate me more

So I decided to take a pill
Hoping my sanity will prevail
I look at the watch and notice the time flies so fast.

Now, I am calling the Higher up
Praying for a rescue in this situation I am up to
Am I getting crazy? Or still at the state of lucidity?

I wish I could be like the nighthawk,
Agile in the dark
Despite the enveloping tenebrosity
It remains free
