Street lights, turn on one by one My hope is, descending like the sun Try to tell myself there's Freedom in the loneliness (oh baby) Always restless, story of my life Disconnected, body clock's not right Try to tell myself that, I'mma get some sleep tonight Found myself where I started, this isn't where I want to be The time that I find hardest, always comes eventually My shadow doesn't show in the dark The night time is inclined to my heart The emptiness I felt from the start Will follow me till I fall apart Nocturnal, nocturnal, nocturnal, nocturnal My demons are blocking out the light And my mind is, about to loose the fight Why can't I find peace, when a Caracal could sleep tonight (Yeah) Your absence, isn't something that I choose (choose, choose choose) The truth is, you were never mine to loose (loose, loose, loose) Said that I feel lifeless, tryna get away from you (Oh baby, oh) Found myself where I started, this isn't where I want to be The time that I find hardest, always comes eventually My shadow doesn't show in the dark The night time is inclined to my heart The emptiness I felt from the start Will follow me till I fall apart Nocturnal, nocturnal, nocturnal, nocturnal My shadow doesn't show in the dark The night time is inclined to my heart The emptiness I felt from the start Will follow me till I fall apart Nocturnal, nocturnal, nocturnal, nocturnal
