Night Has Come

night has come and i'm standing alone
staring at four hollow walls
toneless, colder than stone

a yearning clenching in my gut
just out of my reach
i'm so blinded by distrust

tears cannot be allowed
I must not let a single drop fall
i need a form of release, but how?

night has come
again I am left unprepared
night has come, it has come

no please, i thought this was the end
don't let me close my eyes
i will die if i must relive this again
stop me from remembering
lightning crashes through closed doors
and again i am seeing everything

outside the sky is crying
my mind is a whirlwind of chaos
there is no pain worth denying

one with the roar of thunder
we scream out our laments
as the anguish returns to pull me under

night has come
again I am left unprepared
night has come, it has come

no please, i thought this was the end
don't let me close my eyes
i will die if i must relive this again
stop me from remembering
lightning crashes through closed doors
and again i am seeing everything

the night has come once more
why can't I be left alone?
another memory and I fall to the floor

another memory to leave me breathless
another nightmare to smack me awake
another stab of pain and I'm defenseless

night has come
again I am left unprepared
night has come, it has come

no please, i thought this was the end
don't let me close my eyes
i will die if i must relive this again
stop me from remembering
lightning crashes through closed doors
and again i am seeing everything

night has come
