I don't know why it's gotta be this way
Lock the door and tell me it's all okay
Do you toss in your sleep
Are you feeling the heat
Or just trying to fade away?
I don't know why I never realized
That I'm never really awake
We're not the ones who hide from the sun
Who try and make their peace inside away from everyone
When the night hides the world
My body will collapse and the curtain will unfurl
Frozen and confronted by the sound
You turn your head to see what's going down
Was it a big mistake
Does your body ache?
You've been running for hours now
Like the rest, you'll take a breath
And see the tubes lead underground
We're not the ones who hide from the sun
Who try and make their peace inside away from everyone
When the night hides the world
My body will collapse and the curtain will unfurl
