lyrics

All the stars are in the water
The whole nighttime array
Looking like the lights of sunken ships
Deep and lost, but yet to give way

And all the trees are just silhouettes
The crickets murmur in the grass
Another day is theirs to mourn
Another day is theirs

And when I’ve seen enough tonight, oh I’ll make it back
To a house no better than the rest

Here the homes are filled with dark
The windows blacker than the night
Save for one insomniac
With the TV glowing bright

Light flashes white and turns blue
Things explode without a sound
Just like an alien abduction
Morning won’t remember the violence

And when I’ve been, enough alone, I make it back
To a house no better than the rest

I know I could’ve ended up, oh in any one
And lived with its secrets instead

But I only know what’s been done
In those four walls, a fortress to its gold

Oh I only know of what’s been done
In this fortress to our gold
Up the stairs I join a sleeping bed
Without it waking up, I know

She knows, it’s me
And I would tell her why I had to go
And see the night tonight
But if it ends, that’s the end of me
