So... Here's the thing
There's something about the night time for me that's a little less filtered
And a lot more honest
Sometimes that's where i get into trouble
So this is a song for those people like me who stay up late 
Thinking and talking about the stuff that really matters

How long have i felt this way?
The mood when i turn from day into the night
I'm tired of muzzling myself
Cause it seems everyone else is too polite
Something's going down in the dark
I'd rather be wrong but i might be proven right
Longing to be heard and restored
The word of the lord's gonna get me through the night

The open road beckons, mile after
Mile, when the hours they pass just like seconds
Instead of checking out, i try to check in, when depression 
Is what i battle contemplation is my weapon

Like playing tekken it requires some practice
Voicing the mental factions circling my axis
My thoughts are fractious, time to quiet them
To invest in god's peace i gotta be buying in

But i ain't in no situation that's easy, when i 
Focus on my problems satan tries to deceive me
But why can't my enemies just let me be?
My life is plenty scary, i don't need another adversary

And i know what you're thinking, "c'mon, your life is blessed" 
But first world problems, are problems nonetheless
And when you get to struggle with major debt
Vacation is washington in hamilton... "not. Yet"

And i don't know how to rest, i'm straight workaholic
I'd rather relax and frolic but i'm on my jackson pollack
My brain is working in abstract, my thoughts are jam-packed
In an effort the flip it and transact, and

When i can't, i feel like injustice wins
Forgetting that i came from dust and i'll be dust again
It's an argument i keep on repeat, and neither side is right
But that's what happens in the thick of the night

How long have i felt this way?
The mood when i turn from day into the night
I'm tired of muzzling myself
Cause it seems everyone else is too polite
Something's going down in the dark
I'd rather be wrong but i might be proven right
Longing to be heard and restored
The word of the lord's gonna get me through the night

Joy's comin' in the morning? Honestly i'm
Not there yet, my grief is still forming
Swimmin' in the storm, it's a nightmare, it takes
Everything for me to believe he's still right there

So can i trust? Sorta. I trust 
God, but like trustin' in man's a tall order
Not gonna lie, but certain white people make it
Hard for me trust when they refuse to fight evil

Pshhh... Zbc i'mswearin' that they colorblind, but when they
Lookin' for a leader then they're lookin' for another kind
And if i bring up white supremacy, they think the
Only ones who matter are the triple k in tennessee

But paul tells me, they're really not my enemies
Ephesians 6:12, it's evil in the heavenlies
Spiritual forces, rulers and principalities
Causin' fatalities in every nationality

So it's a feelin' i can't shake, conviction i 
Can't break, this friction is a grace invitation
My temptation to blame is tempered by the claim
That my opponents are worthy of salvation

So what am i left with? I guess i'm impressed 
With god's ability for human redemption, and
Only he can ease the tension, i feel when i fight
To second guess him in the thick of the night

How long have i felt this way?
The mood when i turn from day into the night
I'm tired of muzzling myself
Cause it seems everyone else is too polite
Something's going down in the dark
I'd rather be wrong but i might be proven right
Longing to be heard and restored
The word of the lord's gonna get me through the night
