Nocturnal

[Verse 1]
Tried self-destruction 'til I couldn't function
I hurt myself, hated myself, it didn't help me
Tried self-control, tried letting go
To heal myself, I went to Hell, I hope you know

[Pre-Chorus]
What it's like to fight your mind
When your skin still crawls at night
I pretend that I'm all right 'til the lights go out

[Chorus]
Don't got a need for sleep
Stuck in a lucid dream
Daylight's not for me
That's why I'm nocturnal
Hate when the morning comes
This life that I'm running from
Can't fly too close to the sun
That's why I'm nocturnal

[Post-Chorus]
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
That's why I'm nocturnal

[Verse 2]
Lost in the static, I can't go past it
I got this far, I need the dark, a little madness
A little patience, some kind of saving
Keep circling to find another life worth chasing

[Pre-Chorus]
I pretend that I'm all right 'til the lights go out

[Chorus]
Don't got a need for sleep
Stuck in a lucid dream
Daylight's not for me
That's why I'm nocturnal
Hate when the morning comes
This life that I'm running from
Can't fly too close to the sun
That's why I'm nocturnal

[Post-Chorus]
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
That's why I'm nocturnal

[Bridge]
That's why I'm nocturnal
That's why I'm nocturnal

[Outro]
I pretend that I'm all right
