Midnight flips, I’m up on purpose Talking to mirrors, stretching the surplus Lab-coat confidence, disco doubt I dance bad ideas n they work it out Clinic-clean swagger, downtown drone Sideways monologue, truest of tone Paperback paranoia, crooked grin Every thought is here we go again 3 a.m. coffee, strangers ask my name They say I look known I say that’s the game I sort my thoughts like dead-end trends Keep what offends, let manners end Velvet villain, polite but strange Sorry to nobody, still over-explain Heartbeats like meetings too long I pace till the walls sing along Like we night owls, like we night owls Stayin' up all night all night Don't care about no sleep, no light Like we demons, like we demons in the night We run the scene we fight the scene we love to sing Like we night owls, like we night owls (We love to sing, we love the scene) Like we demons, like we demons in the night (We wake up mean we do our thing) We run the scene, we fight the scene, we love to sing (For Energy I'm a fiend, like her close) I judge my footwork post-show sharp Too weird for cool, too clean for dark I make dance music for standing still Think every step — then step anyway, still Morning asks what I did last night “Nothing important — just stayed alive” 4 a.m., arguing with my face Bad habits lined up, taking their place No crowd, no lens, just staying upright Win one round, lose one, still fight Mind runs laps, heart beats raw I lie, correct it, still bruising I think of my woman asleep so calm How silence settles, how love feels strong Love makes me brave, fear makes me cold I wanna be better so she stays gold Prodigal son just want back in Tryna get home with the mess I’m in Demons talk loud, her voice cut clean “Breathe — don’t let it turn mean” If I fall, I fall swinging fences Morning intact, love's shower rinses again love showers again [Pre-Chorus] Like we night owls, like we night owls Stayin' up all night all night Don't care about no sleep, no light Like we demons, like we demons in the night We run the scene we fight the scene we love to sing Like we night owls, like we night owls (We love to sing, we love the scene) Like we demons, like we demons in the night (We wake up mean we do our thing) We run the scene, we fight the scene, we love to sing (For Energy I'm a fiend, like her close)
