lyrics

I have the whole night to myself
A good seven hours of dancing and singing
I just wish that the walls would shut their ears
So I could have my moment in private
My moment in private

This time of the cycle is just perfect for me
The world gets so quiet
And most of the mouths of tomorrow are fast asleep
And the truth never gets told between nine-to-five
Nine-to-five

He prefers to live his life by trial-and-error
Never was much for books
Yet I learned all I know from him
Like how to repeat my most beautiful mistakes
My most beautiful mistakes

I'd like to stop writing about the act of writing in itself
I'd like to stop feeling the need to corrupt my own house
I'd like to get out of this maze of promises made years ago
Complex problems for a simple mind

I'm finding my own voice
Amidst a crowd of liars
I follow the lead of better men than all of us
I was ready to go around the world
In my quest to peel away your layers
In my quest to peel away

In to a bed of rose petals
One is eager to throw a match
But would you rise from the ashes like a phoenix
Ready to meet the demands of modern men

Oh you dark and silent night
I wish I could stay and enjoy you
For a few moments more
So you could wrap your hands around me

You self-absorbed prick
Stop trying to look for answers in those mirrors
That stand guard in your halls
I readily admit I paint my paintings with blood
But it's not drawn from my veins
No it's not drawn
From my veins
