The Night Accelerates Songtext
von forgetters

These quills were choked and penetrate
Some pass but others can′t relate
I stood hopelessly by myself
You hate when it gets this close
And I know the blank look you put on
Like some concertina wire
In here I try to change my life
I hit the same wall every time

The night accelerates when you need it most
I am a satellite and a holy ghost
The mind is a battlefield but the heart is a surgeon
And I am between them and I am uncertain


I tried to know you but I'm too late
Some guy told you how you′re no good
So now you're gonna prove him right
We're all trauma all the time
And I overcharge you by the hour
For all the time I think on you
I caught you plotting my demise
I thought I ought to help you try

The night accelerates when you need it most
I am a satellite to your holy ghost
The mind is the enemy but the heart is a magnet
Why can′t you find me? I′ve never been close to you

What if the life you decide to live
Was diametrically opposed
To what everyone agrees is good
Good enough for most?
And I'm tired of always being right
And risking everything on you
You′re never there when I get home
You watch and you turn me off

The night accelerates when you need it most
I am a color cast in a field of ghosts
The mind is a battlefield but the heart is a surgeon
And we are between them but we are uncertain
