Drugs of the night


Endless despair courses through my hollow veins The hallways scream loneliness as I wallow in pain The drugs of the night breathe, the drugs of the night breath As it walks the earth people fall victim to the lure Even a baby can lose all that was once pure The drugs of the night breathe, the drugs of the night breath Night is its daytime daytime is its nighttime It preys on the weak for those who can spare a dime The death of the mind makes it intrinsic The death of the body makes it so sick Stop and hear the music Stop and hear it breathe Stop and listen to your parents before you cease to breathe The drugs of the night breathe, the drugs of the night breath
