Midnight is rising
Your eyes adjusting
On a sullen, distant and persistent moon
The shadows are thickets
They swarm with frogs and crickets
Droning a collective tone
Once you get lost in it
There's no need for turning back
Twilight has pulled you in strong
Just like that the weather shifts
And something triggers your legs to carry on
Why are you running away over and over again?
Why are you running in place?
Daylight is shining
Your retinas are burning, burning, burning
Something is evident
Your legs will carry you on
The old haunts are real
It's just a matter of time before they bury you
