Another Night (3:26)
another night
I’m awake,
constantly switching side to side.
maybe this way
will be the one
to chase them all
away:
the looming ghosts
inside my thoughts,
the present’s gift
from a thousand
yesterdays.
another night
I’m ashamed.
I should be a happy boy,
shouldn’t complain
about the way I’ve lived
or the ones I’ve loved:
my adventure has been fine,
but the twisted themes
that dominate my dreams
make me wonder
“will I someday
go astray?”
another night
I’m afraid
that this could be my reckoning,
could be the day
when all the loose ends get tied
or fray into my memories,
my memories
of where this all
began…
