Sound of Midnight
Mouth dry, drenched in sweat
Try to find balance
Blood boiling, thoughts rolling
It came to this, it came to this
Don't want to pin up stars anymore
I watch the waves recede
It chills me to the bone
To know you're gone
We walked through fire
But you never burned
I saw the fractures
Growing deeper all the time
Until you finally broke
And the sound
It was the sound of midnight
The sound of midnight
Legs weak, arms broken
Trying to find peace
In the shimmering lake
It came to this, it came to this
I can't find peace anymore
Because you were the only one
I could be weak around
You were my peace
We walked through fire
But I never burned
I saw the fractures
Growing deeper all the time
Until I finally broke
And the sound
It was the sound of midnight
The sound of midnight
Don't want to leave
Don't want to leave
Midnight is so lonely
Don't want to leave
Please don't make me leave
To the sound of midnight
We walked through fire
But we never learned
We saw the fractures
Growing deeper all the time
Until we finally broke
And the sound
It was the sound of midnight
The sound of midnight
