(Verse One)

You're feeling groggy, so your visions cloggy
Feel dead like a zombie crossed with something wonky
The rustling around your room will surely wake you
A figure is now shown from the blue lunar hue
In a flash you flick the light, fluorescents burn bright
It's quite the sight, to muster the might on site
It's a pile of old clothes, so you start to dispose
After you try to doze curled like a wilted rose

A tap on the glass? Maybe it's just pouring rain
Hear steps on the grass? It's just all inside your brain?
No matter how much you refuse it's still in your mind
Comforts hard to find, since your focus is now blind

(Chorus)

I know that it is hard to understand, the blurry difference between wrong and right
With all the fears you feel at night, there's always something you didn't account to fright
As the twilight seeps through your curtains, a figures suddenly blocking the moonlight
And you want to fight because like a blight you're not quite safe from this severe plight

(Verse Two)

No real control theres always some prospects
When we're their little science fair projects
"What if we made them pay their last respects?
Clouded with guilt and to the brim with regrets?
Faux apologies plague their psychologies
And the coffin they see so they think "That's not me""
They say as they flee,  knowing what they did to those three
That thoughts a guarantee, "Goodbye" they said with glee

Will they recover? A question for Father Time
Why must they suffer? The answers covered with grime
Cradling their heads or at least what's left of them
Reverse ambien, now struck with some mayhem

(Chorus)

I know that it is hard to understand, the blurry difference between wrong and right
With all the fears you feel at night, there's always something you didn't account to fright
As the twilight seeps through your curtains, a figures suddenly blocking the moonlight
And you want to fight because like a blight you're not quite safe from this severe plight

(Verse Three)

Power dynamics are something to fear
In this wide, dying yet still breathing sphere
With each passing year it becomes more clear
The glass shatter draws near and now he's here
Who should be held accountable right now?
Should those with power do it anyhow?
Catch them by surprise with their final bow
Furrow to their brow, to live not sure how

Was it all in vain? Well, the aftermath will show
What will stop the pain? When justice is brought in tow
The struggles caused by a lack of integrity
Controlled like puppetry, and it's a pain to see

Do they ever sleep? They just can't face the nightmare
Do their secrets keep? They were lost in all the flare
Burning yet a chill in their blood just like ice
Through life without advice, conscience silent like mice

(Chorus)

I know that it is hard to understand, the blurry difference between wrong and right
With all the fears you feel at night, there's always something you didn't account to fright
As the twilight seeps through your curtains, a figures suddenly blocking the moonlight
And you want to fight because like a blight you're not quite safe from this severe plight
