[Intro]
Midnight’, it's a thief, hours lost in my haze
hours pass now like minutes, and soon turn to days
my Candle burns fast , wax bleeds down like my tears,
doing the lines on the mirror till my itch disappears.
[verse 2]
I'm a man with a mask , a fake smile i rehearse
when my reality buckles, the pain cuts me worse.
it's hard to remmeber, how my life was before
all the signs it's consumed me, , I chose to ignore
[chorus]
most of the time, the addiction will win
if a real smile of mine opens something bad will crawl in.
the house smells of ash, from hand rolled cigarettes
bottles of wine now emptied , in my attempt to forget
[gospel solo]
I'm a man with a mask , a fake smile i rehearse
when the cocaine wears off , it hits ten times worse
Midnight’, it's a thief, hours lost in my haze
hours pass now like minutes, and soon turn to days
[pre chorus]
their groan mimmics the sound of my tiring soul
they get trodden and worn, this life takes its toll
Midnight’s a thief with no mask, yellowed teeth
steps the ground weighed down by the grief
[chorus]
I've found most of the time, the addiction will win
a real smile slips open then something bad crawls in.
the house smells of stale ash, from chainsmoked cigarettes
littered with bottles of wine, I drank to help me forget
[outro]
Let the dust cake the scales
, let the itch fucking die.
use my scars as new strength
to help me get by
the house smells of ash
, from too many cigarettes
bottles of wine now empty
, in my attempt to forget
