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
