Nocturnal Reveries

The ticking clock, it speaks to me Saying time is precious, don't you agree? The world's asleep, we're all alone But we're bound to the thrill, it's in our bone Craving more than just a dreamless night We're searching souls beneath the city light My mind is racing, can't find peace These weary eyes refuse their ease Though the night whispers 'come and rest' Still, I'm wide awake, I must confess If you and I ignore the night Embrace the darkness, shun the light Chasing shadows, beyond the norm Grains of stardust in a silent storm In the pulse of neon, we find our beat When the world falls quiet, we're on our feet Dancing to the rhythm of the sleepless few We're the creatures of the night, pure and true Eyes wide open, but the world is blind In this endless night, our truths we find Defying slumber, we stand apart Letting moonlight trace the contours of our hearts Beneath the stars, we feel alive In the silent hours, our spirits thrive The sky's ink black, our stage is set To break the chains of the world's hard net Time may heal, but tonight it steals The chance to roam where the shadow reels In the quiet hum, we thirst for life Escaping the sun, its mundane strife As dawn awaits (dawn awaits) We fear its light might seal our fate Yet still we chase (still we chase) The sweetness in this night's embrace We dance with fate, no sign of day On borrowed time, we choose to stray
