Nocturnal

NOCTURNAL [Intro] The house is still... The world has gone to sleep. But there's a conversation My mind insists on keeping. [Verse 1] The clock moves on, the room is still, I hear the rain against the glass. My body rests against its will, While every thought rewinds the past. I hear the words I should have said, And all the ones I can't take back. They circle slowly through my head, Like footsteps on an empty track. [Pre-Chorus] Nobody knows what silence brings, When all the noise of living ends. The mind remembers everything, And starts the arguments again. [Chorus] Nocturnal — when the world is sleeping, I'm wide awake with yesterday. Nocturnal — all these thoughts I'm keeping, Won't let the hours slip away. Nocturnal — there's a war inside me, Between the truth and what I fear. Nocturnal — nowhere left to hide me, From everything I wouldn't hear. [Verse 2] I think about the ones I've lost, The years I never thought would end. The price of pride, the hidden cost, Of words that broke a faithful friend. I wonder who I'd be today, If I had made a different choice. But morning cannot change the way, The darkness gives those doubts a voice. [Pre-Chorus] Nobody sees the things we face, When every door is locked up tight. We wear a smile in crowded places, Then meet ourselves alone at night. [Chorus] Nocturnal — when the world is sleeping, I'm wide awake with yesterday. Nocturnal — all these thoughts I'm keeping, Won't let the hours slip away. Nocturnal — there's a war inside me, Between the truth and what I fear. Nocturnal — nowhere left to hide me, From everything I wouldn't hear. [Bridge] I've spent too many nights in fear, Reliving things I cannot change. But something finally becomes clear, My past is mine to rearrange. [Final Chorus] Nocturnal — when the world is sleeping, I face the things I pushed away. Nocturnal — no more secrets keeping, I'll meet the morning unafraid. Nocturnal — the past won't bind me, I've made my peace with yesterday. Nocturnal — the night may find me, But it won't take my strength away. [Outro] The night still comes... The memories remain... But they don't own me anymore.
