about

A song about feeling better alone in the "dark" than struggling against the monotony of the modern world, to the point of not wanting to exist.

lyrics

Listen, I’ll sing you a lullaby
It’s sweet and it’s tender so feel free to cry
I’m not afraid of no man or no day 

It’s nights just like this
Alone with no reply
Shadow darkened abyss
And on every one I die
It’s nights just like this that I die

A different perspective when the world’s asleep
Time to be reflective and even to weep
Feel better alone I don’t care what they say

It’s nights just like this
With mornin’ not even nigh
The moonlight’s sensitive kiss
And on everyone I die
It’s nights just like this that I die

My plan for tomorrow’s for it not to come
A hymn on a banjo, a dirge on a drum
Immersed in the dark one can’t see my black eye

It’s nights just like this
With nary a star in the sky            
‘Midst dew and settling mist
And on every one I die
It’s nights just like this that I die

My plan for tomorrow’s for it not to come
A hymn on a banjo, a dirge on a drum
Immersed in the dark one can’t see my black eye

It’s nights just like this
And lately I’ve just been so shy
The maybes and what ifs persist 
They can’t say that I never tried
One item bucket list
Surrender is always nearby

It’s nights just like this
And on every one I die
I likely won’t even be missed
It’s nights just like this that I die
