[Verse 1] Shadows dance across my wall A silent ballet, a lonely call They twist and turn like ghosts I knew Still wearing pieces of me and you Whispers crawl from yesterday Soft little lies that fade to grey I close my eyes but they don’t leave They breathe your name back into me The ceiling feels a thousand miles I count the cracks, I count the trials And every thought I try to drown Comes floating back when the lights go down [Pre-Chorus] Tick tock goes the clock My heart beats like a frantic knock Tick tock, I can’t sleep There’s something in the dark with me Tick tock, the silence grows And everybody disappears Tick tock, nobody knows What I become when midnight’s near [Chorus] Midnight hour Steals my power Takes my breath And whispers death Midnight hour Bitter flower Blooming black And pulling me back Midnight hour Cold and louder Calls my name Again, again Midnight hour I feel it crawling I hear it calling Again, again [Verse 2] Streetlights bleed across the pane Silver rivers in the rain Washing over all the pain Or so I tell myself again I wear a smile like thin disguise While storms are moving behind my eyes I say I’m fine, I play the part With a haunted house inside my heart The city hums, the windows shake I lie awake for old times’ sake And every memory cuts too deep A broken promise I still keep [Pre-Chorus] Tick tock goes the clock My heart beats like a frantic knock Tick tock, I can’t breathe There’s something in the dark with me Tick tock, the shadows grow And all the walls start closing in Tick tock, the moon hangs low And I can feel it underneath my skin [Chorus] Midnight hour Steals my power Takes my breath And whispers death Midnight hour Bitter flower Blooming black And pulling me back Midnight hour Cold and louder Calls my name Again, again Midnight hour I feel it crawling I hear it calling Again, again [Bridge] A raven cries into the night Lost its way, lost its light Circling over empty streets Like it’s carrying the ghost of me Just like me inside this dark Searching for a dying spark One small flame, one final sign Something to prove I’m still alive And if the dawn comes breaking through Will it bring me back to you? Or will I stay where shadows bloom A prisoner of this midnight room? [Breakdown] Tick tock Don’t stop My heart Might drop Tick tock Too loud I’m lost In the sound Tick tock Don’t stop The dark Wants out Tick tock Too loud I need The dawn somehow [Final Chorus] Midnight hour Steals my power Takes my breath And whispers death Midnight hour Bitter flower Blooming black And pulling me back Midnight hour Cold and louder Calls my name Again, again Midnight hour I feel it crawling I hear it calling Again, again [Outro] Shadows dance across my wall A silent ballet, a lonely call Tick tock, I’m fading slow Waiting for the dawn to show Midnight hour Midnight hour Midnight hour Let me go
