When Night Falls

Stuck in this life I wish I could leave behind
Simplest of nightmares before my eyes have become my reality
Disguised as an instrument for my success
I ran right for the snare

I can't count the times I laid awake wishing it all away
Maybe then I could feel all this time that's passed me by
Memories of who I was haunt me every second I'm awake
And when night falls, they taunt me behind closed eyes

Watching everyone pass me by
When will it be my time
Smiles plastered upon their faces
Is it all a facade
Am I truly the only one who wishes they chose the other path

I can't count the times I laid awake wishing it all away
Maybe then I could feel all this time that's passed me by
Memories of who I was haunt me every second I'm awake
And when night falls, they taunt me behind closed eyes

These realizations circle in my head
Echoing, tormenting, precursing my end
Feeling it grow closer with every setting sun
Is this my eternity

I can't count the times I laid awake wishing it all away
Maybe then I could feel all this time that's passed me by
Memories of who I was haunt me every second I'm awake
And when night falls, And when night falls, And when night falls
