Pitch black outside
No clue where I’m going
What’s beyond the trees,
I have no way of knowing
Fear of the dark strikes me like a wicked knife
No clue what I’m doing out here
A wandering insomniac
This has become my life
No clue what time it might be
Midnight was long ago
I’m out of my mind and freaking out
That’s why I have to go
Distant sounds come from nowhere
I simply cannot see them
No matter how hard I stare
At this time of night the whole town sleeps
Because that’s societie's norm
With no light even simple shapes,
Take on supernatural form
In this darkness I am horrified
But that’s why I’m right at home
A misfit from the world around me
A black mark in the chrome
The only other human things,
Are the voices in my head
The fear is what makes me feel alive
At my house I feel so dead
I feel like there is more to life,
Than all that I can see
Apart from what, apparently is
Something else might be
It’s true that I see nothing,
Does that mean it isn’t there?
Questions like these are what make me “crazy”
Because most people just don’t care
Get a grip Hyde
Go back to bed
Go back to sanity
Suppress the voices in your head
Come back to the light
Pretend you’re all right
But remember the things
You thought of tonight
