Tonight's the Night

Do all the kids who watch the birds fly
See themselves falling from up high?
Body crushed as hours go by
I'm drawing out smiles and white lies

Growing up and Going down
Boredom breaks, boredom blinds
'til the voices take over the mind

Do all the others sittin in class
Wish every day would be the last?
Wearing a mask
To hold the tears
And fill the cracks

Tonight I'll kneel one more time
My forehead on ground
Hoping this time
They won't let me down

Stalking winners through the window
Wondering how
They can hold it down
And if they too ever thought of jumping on a whim
Well same rules apply
And if you know only those who dare can hope to win
Well why don't you make a sound?
And if they too ever thought of jumping on a whim
Well time's running out

Today's the day
Tonight's the night
Night

Caving in and trading sunlight
For the shimmer
Of the blue light

Awake all night
Chasing glimmers
Far out of sight

Scrolling up, scrolling down
Scrolling days, scrolling years
Looking for something that can't be found
And when it comes at first light
When no one's on your side
When you can't scream, can't hide
Can't breathe

Ain't nothing to fear but pride
Don't swallow your own knives
Take 'em down to the fight
Trust me

When something deep inside just keeps tearing you down
Gnawing at your heart as soon as it turns around

Ain't nothing to fear but pride
No one wins at first try
Even dead leaves take off
You'll see

Today's the day
Tonight's the night
Night

Today's the day
Tonight's the night
Night

Come child
The world is lyin'
Under your palm
If you fail now
You'll get by
Somehow
And then maybe you will try again

Come child
The world is lyin'
On the edge
Stand Proud

Stalking winners through the window
Wondering how
They can work it out
And if they too ever thought of jumping on a whim
Well same rules apply
And if you know only those who dare can hope to win
Well, why don't you make a sound?
And if you too ever thought of jumping on a whim
Well time's running out

Today's the day
Tonight's the night

Today's the day
Tonight's the night

Today's the day
Tonight's the night

Today's the day
Tonight's the night

Today's the day
Tonight's the night
