I Lie Nocturnal
(Steven Saint-Urbain)
I lie nocturnal
Not out of need but spite
The world owes me
And I will exact what I feel is mine
I still see your face
If I close my eyes
That’s why I never sleep
I can’t face the night
Remember those days when we thought we were on top of the world
We had life’s cheat code in the land of the absurd
Time seemed to stop when we were together
We never used the word but we believed we were forever
I drink from the silence
A venom dressed as wine
Your memory acts like a razor
That cuts but keeps me alive
I choke on the ashes
Of every lie I told
Your ghost has its hands on my throat
But I don’t pull away for fear of losing you again
Remember those days when we thought we were on top of the world
We had life’s cheat code in the land of the absurd
Time seemed to stop when we were together
We never used the word but we believed we were forever
The mirror could be a cleansing light
But I avoid it
And the blame it has waiting for me
Remember those days when we thought we were on top of the world
We had life’s cheat code in the land of the absurd
Time seemed to stop when we were together
We never used the word but we believed we were forever
