Midnight to Morning

The best stories are told of what happened as the music grew dark Lights hotter and heavier, our eyes all lost in the crowd We give up hope for a night of pure surrender, as we find what it means to be human To connect, happy to die if this is our time As we drive home, the moments we feel most alone, suddenly quiet Light rain on our skin, sunrise rainbow Look, look, it's perfect isn't it But, don't these birds seem so fucking loud In these moments we remember every single heartbreak Maybe this kind stranger will hear my tale This right here, how the purest of memories are made Connection My brother, my sister, I see you Fellow human, I see you I see you I forgive you I say it out loud Hug Now tell me, can you forgive yourself If we sit, I will listen Your burdens will be forgotten, I promise Held by many lost arms, wrapped around us tight Maybe this one will be kinder, gentler this time Hold on so tight, need to feel my body, my mind, are special this time We know these moments have a tendency to just slip by Big feelings take hostage our youth Can't handle life's hardest truths The heartbreak felt when there is no answer at night We become sages, healers, self-prescribed The guiltiest of pleasures consumed in the dark Medicine to keep it all down Medicine, medicine, medicine, medicine We think the ghosts have come out to play 3 AM, something crawls Shadow play We wake up and cry We wake and wail God damn, we've all been so deceived Get up, get ready, leave at the stroke of midnight Fun's just starting right? Keep going, keep praying, keep over-fucking compensating The greatest memories are made The greatest tales are told as we break our hearts again Over and over and over again This is our time This is our time Midnight to morning Midnight to morning Midnight to morning
