[Verse 1] The city sleeps beneath a veil of rain Streetlights flicker like forgotten names The noise of day has finally let me go And in the darkness, I can breathe alone [Verse 2] No expectations waiting at my door No voices telling me what I am for The shadows ask for nothing in return They simply hold the lessons that I've learned [Chorus] In the dark of night I find my shelter In the quiet black I find my way When the world grows loud and cold around me The stars I cannot see still light the way [Verse 3] The moon is hidden, but I know it's there Like every hope I thought had disappeared The silence isn't empty anymore It's where I hear my own heart beating strong [Bridge] And if the dawn should never come I would not be afraid The night has taught me how to stand When all the light has gone away [Final Chorus] In the dark of night I find my shelter In the quiet black I find my peace Where the restless ghosts of yesterday surrender And every wound is finally released In the dark of night I am not alone
