By The Night Songtext
von Day Sleeper

Every happy day
Wears the blush of darker returning
Fireworks, skyward in periphery
Comfortable corners are calling for me

And I don′t want to be you
But I'm hardly some grand proposition
I got so easy to see through
Spectral staircase apparition

I don′t want to be you
Dropped with the day
Down the back of the mountainside
Still deceived by the night
Wake up racing half the time
'Cos I don't want to be you

All my motives
Both ulterior and proudly worn
Out here for all to see
Beyond the eyewall of familiar storm


And I don′t want to be you
But I′m hardly some grand proposition
I got so easy to see through
Spectral staircase apparition

I don't want to be you
Dropped with the day
Down the back of the mountainside
Still deceived by the night
Wake up racing half the time
So lend me pennies for the void
Pay off the seasons I destroy
Cos I don′t want to be you
I don't want to be you

Still deceived by the night
Wake up
Still deceived by the night
Wake up


I don′t want to be you
Dropped with the day
Down the back of the mountainside
Still deceived by the night
Wake up racing half the time
So lend me pennies for the void
Pay off the seasons I destroy
Cos I don't want to be you
I don′t want to be you
I don't want to be you
