In the Night

In the city
The day is too hot
And you're hoping for relief
'Cause your head is filled with pain
But you get no relief
'Cause the night is the same

In the night
In the night, you see
Through jaded eyes
In the night
In the night, you feel
Barely alive

You live your life in darkness
You've got pennies on your eyes
And you say that it's alright
'Cause you never lived a lie
As you crawl back to your womb-like existence in the night

In the night
In the night, you see
Through jaded eyes
In the night
In the night, you feel
Barely alive

You can't see no light
But you hear those heavy footsteps
And the little man inside
Twists your tormented mind

Your mind is filled with shadows
Your palms are wet with sweat
Limbs are bound and tangled
In a fatal net

There are two things you can do
One is turn and fight
The other's run headlong
Into the night

In the night
In the night, you see
Through jaded eyes
In the night
In the night, you feel
Barely alive

You can't see no light
But you hear those heavy footsteps
And the breathing at your side
Is it yours, or is it goodbye?
