To Save Midnight

from Twilight Communion by One Dog Clapping

/

lyrics

I tried to reach my hand through the broken glass
to what I could remember when I saw it last
the voice cries wolf but I hear no howls
is he feasting on memories before they cry out?
another door opens that I nearly missed
an entrance to a world I didn't know to exist
I tried to move along but I can't see in this light
I have to find a way to save midnight
to save midnight

I wandered through the garden as a ghost with style
catching eyes of lovers who then run a mile
the stories they tell bring others in to see
but though they look all around they never quite spot me
I rattle my chains to indicate
that the story isn't moving and it's getting late
I cast a wild shadow I would later invite
to throw it all away and save midnight
to save midnight

in many ways I fall apart
I speak in tongues it's just the start
I walk through cracks I'm out of sight
but is my home in midnight?
night has fallen and the skeletons speak
they dance to a rhythm that they make unique
the song they sing leaves me in no doubt
That the hammering bones are hounding me out
I fall into the day I should have never left behind
with cries of impostor ringing in my mind
I threw away my mask it was never on right
I have to run away to save midnight
to save midnight
