Bad Nights

Jelani Aryeh

Compositor: George Lewis / jelani aryeh / John Evans Kolbe

And I've been having trouble finding the stars
Moving forward, unaware of wherever you are
Burning the pages and leaving the smoke
What'll they say when I'm hanging the rope?

When you're not here to eat the silence
My mind will attack with violence
Your words are a weight on my eyelids
And fly through the night, just driving
(Eyes closed, eyes closed)

In these bad nights, I'll drive for miles
And wish you could read my mind
On these bad nights
Under passing lights, I'm a passerby
On these bad nights, will I get away with my life?
On these bad nights (on these bad nights)

And I can't cope with leaving a reason
And they'll just say it was 'cause of the seasons
You've always got something to say
I wish I didn't know my place
And I've got nothing to say
I wish you knew your place

When you're not here to eat the silence
My mind will attack with violence
Your words are a weight on my eyelids
And fly through the night, just driving
(Eyes closed, eyes closed)

In these bad nights, I'll drive for miles
And wish you could read my mind
On these bad nights
Under passing lights, I'm a passerby
On these bad nights, will I get away with my life?
On these bad nights (on these bad)
(On these bad nights)
