Wrapped in the Night

Song Title: Wrapped in the Night Verse 1 Forensic Files humming on the TV glow Game Boy light under blankets, no one has to know Snow day whispers, “You’re free tomorrow” It’s 3 a.m. but it feels like home Pre-Chorus Daylight’s too loud, too wide, too exposed But night puts me back in the world I chose Chorus Wrapped in the night, like a warm cocoon Hotel halls, VHS tapes, 90s camera gloom Time bends quiet, I’m safe, I’m small In-between worlds where I feel it all Verse 2 Christmas mornings when the world still sleeps Pillow forts and pawn shop dreams Ordering food while the city’s closed Johto maps where my mind still goes Pre-Chorus Daylight’s too sharp, it cuts me apart But night pulls the stitches tight on my heart Chorus Wrapped in the night, like a secret spell Smell of old textbooks, the stories they tell Time bends softer, I’m safe, I’m whole Liminal spaces tattooed in my soul Bridge Someone wipes my arm before the shot That sting feels safer than the world I’ve got Hotels at midnight, I don’t need to win Just to wander the quiet halls I’m in Final Chorus Wrapped in the night, I can finally breathe World disappears and it’s only me Time bends backwards, I’m safe, I’m known Wrapped in the night, I am finally home
