Do you hear that?
It’s GrizzlyJones.
Let’s listen….
Say the name “Chasing Midnight”
(Verse 1)
High beams cutting through a wall of grey Past midnight on a ghost highway Knuckles turning white on a frozen wheel Chasing down a future that I cannot feel The engine sputters and the dashboard dies Nothing but the static and the midnight skies And the weight in my chest is a heavy stone A nameless shadow when you’re all alone.
(Chorus)
But the dark only holds what you give it to keep It feeds on the secrets that you scream in your sleep Yeah, the night gets heavy and the road gets long But the shadows break when the dawn comes on Look up at the sky where the clouds divide There’s a silver lining on the other side The dark is just a place where the light hasn’t been And the morning’s coming round again.
(Verse 2)
Tap, tap, tapping on the window pane Cold sweat dripping like the autumn rain A faceless terror sitting right beside Nowhere to run and there’s nowhere to hide It whispers in the silence that I’ve lost my way That there ain’t no rescue at the end of the day It wants me to surrender, wants to drag me down To a quiet valley where the hopeless drown.
(Chorus)
But the dark only holds what you give it to keep It feeds on the secrets that you scream in your sleep Yeah, the night gets heavy and the road gets long But the shadows break when the dawn comes on Look up at the sky where the clouds divide There’s a silver lining on the other side The dark is just a place where the light hasn’t been And the morning’s coming round again.
(Bridge)
But I close my eyes and I find the spark A sudden recollection in the deepest dark Of a warmer sun, of a softer place Of the grace that saves me from the bleak abyss I say no to the valley, I say no to the fear The shadow dissolves when the vision gets clear A single beam of silver cracks the canopy wide And the engine roars to life inside.
(Guitar Solo / Instrumental Break)
(Chorus)
'Cause the dark only holds what you give it to keep It feeds on the secrets that you scream in your sleep Yeah, the night gets heavy and the road gets long But the shadows break when the dawn comes on Look up at the sky where the clouds divide There’s a silver lining on the other side The dark is just a place where the light hasn’t been And the morning’s coming round again.
(Outro)
Yeah, the morning's coming round...The fog is breaking now. The road is long, but the light is found. Chasing midnight... straight into the day.(Fade out on a steady engine hum)
