I build my world in the night
to have it washed away in the day
all that I have said so far
is not a fraction of what I have to say

I sing away in twilight
just to see it break away by dawn
I slave away in the dark
and by the light it is all gone

But one day I’ll escape
from the out skirts to the town
where the people stay out
even when the sun goes down

and we build a life
that the sun could never bleach
we’ll build our towers
to places where only stars can reach
