Now its 2 a.m. And you're surrounded by silence., Absolute nothingness It's great, being up late at night Or the wee hours of the morning, however you choose to look at it Because it's just you and you're thoughts., Now Not the thoughts, those intensely destructive thoughts... that you have in the middle of the day while keeping that stain of a smile on your face Not those thoughts, no, not those pathetically lonely thoughts you have in a crowd full of people that you somehow seemed to keep entertained That's you now., But then it was Then The thoughts, those wonder filled and hopeful thoughts that danced around your mind, like a circus almost, while you sang around your room., Those magical, shimmery thoughts that would get you distracted in class while you should have been learning about pre-algebra, or the founding fathers, or whatever those imagination-killing teachers believed was most important in time., Those dreams, those terrifyingly devastatingly real dreams that you knew deep down would always come true., But that was then. Suddenly the dusk turns to dawn, and everyone's waking up, and you and you're thoughts...They aren't alone anymore And that was then. But now is now, and it's time to get back to Those thoughts. Those roller coaster, tidal wave thoughts that you lock behind that stain of a smile., Because this is now.

Late Night thoughts
Now its 2 a.m. And you're surrounded by silence., Absolute nothingness It's great, being up late at night Or the wee hours of the morning, however you choose to look at it Because it's just you and you're thoughts., Now Not the thoughts, those intensely destructive thoughts... that you have in the middle of the day while keeping that stain of a smile on your face Not those thoughts, no, not those pathetically lonely thoughts you have in a crowd full of people that you somehow seemed to keep entertained That's you now., But then it was Then The thoughts, those wonder filled and hopeful thoughts that danced around your mind, like a circus almost, while you sang around your room., Those magical, shimmery thoughts that would get you distracted in class while you should have been learning about pre-algebra, or the founding fathers, or whatever those imagination-killing teachers believed was most important in time., Those dreams, those terrifyingly devastatingly real dreams that you knew deep down would always come true., But that was then. Suddenly the dusk turns to dawn, and everyone's waking up, and you and you're thoughts...They aren't alone anymore And that was then. But now is now, and it's time to get back to Those thoughts. Those roller coaster, tidal wave thoughts that you lock behind that stain of a smile., Because this is now.
