The night takes you
Louder and louder - becoming inaudible
Neck
Neck
Stick it out long
Flash Flash
Images distilled, frozen and framed
Drinks flying
Clothes torn and lost
Crowds getting bigger
Wanting the floor and this spotlight
It's shining elsewhere
Just wait your turn
Drunk messages
Small puffs of smoke float in your peripherals
Hazy and it is blinding
Blinding all these senses
Common sense
Throw it to the wall
It's lost here
Along with your phone and your wallet
Your identity
You belong to the night now
You become the night now
You are the night now
This transforms you
