When it's late at night
The moon chases away the sun
And the clouds turn into stars
And daydreams turn into nightmares
I’ll be wide awake

Fear lurks in the dark
Waiting for you to fall asleep
So it can pounce
I'm so scared to even blink
Because that's when they get you

A dark, mysterious force
Takes over you
It’s almost as if you don't have control anymore
They cut the cables in your brain
Wire them so that you think about

The F in English
The girlfriend who broke up with you
On your birthday
Your crush who told you
There aren't any feelings for you
The pain on your thighs
From sorrowful nights
And everything else you can't do right

Even if my phone is blowing up
I feel so alone
A world full of seven billion people
And I’m so alone

I’m not living
My heart is beating
My lungs are breathing
But I’m not living
I’m just existing
