Artificial Nocturne
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm just as fucked up as they say
I can't fake the daytime
Found an entrance to escape into the dark
Got false lights for the sun
It's an artificial nocturne
It's an outsider's escape for a broken heart
We hide out in the back
Like shadows in a stranger's dream
Hiding out in the back together
Hiding out in the back forever
I make
All that I believe
In dreams
So real
Babe, I have to take the call
Fate don't fail me now
I make
All that I believe
I set myself free
So take all the time you need
And let yourself be
I'm as fucked up as they say
I can't fake the daytime
Found an entrance to escape into the dark
Got false lights for the sun
It's an artificial nocturne
An outsider's escape for a broken heart
