Tried self destruction
'Til I couldn't function
I hurt myself, hated myself
It didn't help me
Tried self control
Tried letting go
To heal myself, I went to hell
I hope you know

What it's like to fight your mind
When your skin still crawls at night
I pretend that I'm alright
'Til the lights go out

Don't got a need for sleep
Stuck in a lucid dream
Daylights not for me
That's why I'm nocturnal
Hate when the morning comes
It's light that I'm running from
Can't fly too close to the sun
That's why I'm nocturnal

(Ha ha ha haha ha ha)
That's why I'm nocturnal

Lost in the static
I can't move past it
I got this far, I need the dark
A little madness
A little patience
Some kind of saving
Keep circling
To find another light worth chasing

I pretend that I'm alright
'Til the lights go out

Don't got a need for sleep
Stuck in a lucid dream
Daylights not for me
That's why I'm nocturnal
Hate when the morning comes
It's light that I'm running from
Can't fly too close to the sun
That's why I'm nocturnal

(Ha ha ha haha ha ha)
That's why I'm nocturnal
(Ha ha ha ha)
That's why I'm nocturnal
That's why I'm nocturnal

I pretend that I'm alright...
