Night Vision

I drive alone
In the dark
On those warm summer nights
Gives me fear
Of something near
As far as my headlights

I see the tunnels
Of the trees
From the moonlight as it glows
And as I drive
I come alive
As the shadow only grows

The adrenaline
Starts to pump
And suddenly there’s lies
Because what I see
Couldn’t be
Right before my eyes

The street lights
Start to flicker
In the distance one goes out
And I know
That’s how it goes
But suddenly there’s doubt


I look into
My rearview mirror
Anxious of what I’ll see
Because if I’ll die
If I see some eyes
Staring back at me

The wind
Is still blowing
Hard against my car
I feel alone
Going home
Though the distance isn’t far

I drive alone
In the dark
On those warm summer nights
Gives me fear
Of something near
As far as my headlights

I always notice how different the world looks at night and it can be seen with awe or in fear.
