Tonight

Underneath the sky 
Die hard, or harder to know why
If I won't survive tonight

My friends, don't you ever cry. 

Beneath the skin
myself is collapsing 
If I won't stop from breaking

My friends, don't you try helping.

Ending is near
Hoping there's nothing to fear
If I can't stop the tears 

My friends, don't you ever come near.
