Midnight Black

I live in the city so I'm denied the right to wish on a star
But the drones flying over my head at night tell me you're not so far
That one of these times I'll be just where I should
Where I'm never not understood

I don't feel I belong anyplace
It's a common phobia I've heard all the greats say
I don't fear the darkness like I had
Now I find sanctuary in the midnight black

I live in the city so I'm denied the right to late walks in the park
For fears I'm pretty, attract the dogs of the city to bark
Then one of these times I'll be just where I should
Where I can take a breath, breathe 'cause I could

I don't feel I belong anyplace
It's a common phobia I've heard all the greats say
I don't fear the darkness like I had
Now I find sanctuary in the midnight black

In the bathroom, making amends with the child I was who used to be afraid
But everyone I've ever loved has left so my only horror is to have overstayed

I don't feel I belong anymore
Living in dystopia is difficult to ignore
I don't fear the darkness like I had
Now I find sanctuary in the midnight black

I don't feel I belong anyplace
I don't feel I belong anyplace
I don't fear the darkness like I had
I don't fear the darkness
