All these bodies dancing
-floor paved with broken glass.
All these bodies laughing
-in black and white filters en-masse.
My smile starts to crack
-black and white.
You and i just met
A little while ago tonight.
But for a minute in the bathroom we were the best of friends.
Tell me I deserve love. Act like you care. Let's play pretend.
Night-child
I'm a night-child
7/7 - DOA - 9-5
I want to be Beirut, I want to forget it all
we've got all we could ask for. what a fabulous night.
and i destroy myself to just to justify being.
Night-child
I'm a night-child
Remember when the music used to move us? Sway.
Now we dread the dark in which we used to play.
We've been there/ done that/ nothing can impress.
Relax! the music's so loud no one can hear this.
I was out last night, I guess I'm just a little tired
Like I'm constantly drowning, but thirsty all the same.
Now step to the left two steps to the right.
No, I'm not crying; it's all this smoke that's to blame.
Night-child
I'm a night-child
And I pour a glass for two and down it all alone.
Do you think any of these people will visit my grave stone?
Do you have a lighter? Come light my cigarette.
All these people around me, I can’t possibly feel alone.
