Intro

(1) Midnight 
lock all the doors 
and turn out the lights 
Feels like the end of the world 
this Sunday night 

(2) There's not a sound 
Outside the snow's coming down 
(3) and somehow I can't seem to find 
the quiet inside my mind 

(1) 3:02 
the space in this room 
has turned on me 
and all my fears have cornered me here 
me and my TV screen 

(2) The volume's down 
Blue lights are dancing around 
(3) and still, I can't seem to find 
the quiet inside my mind 

(4) Daylight is climbing the walls 
cars start and feet walk the halls 
The world awakes and now I am safe 
at least by the light of day
