The Night's Disguise Lyrics

Clouds are holding up the dawn,
or stilts,
or crutches….
I can't tell which one.
Keep the short days looking longer
and it keeps the sunlight from falling on broken legs.
But the night's disguise is wearing thin.

Caught me looking through your eyes.
No, I'm not doing alright…
I'm just as stupid and desperate as I've always been.
All the uselessness I write,
just come with me away from the night
and cut this sickness from my mind.
Help me forget about a shattered life.
Lead my failure into something right…

Boss man said,
"There's no more work this winter.
So go on home now, and check back in the spring."
Some dreams turned out to be a nightmare
that you can't afford,
so its coming in on a credit card.

Get yourself all prettied up my love.
Come here close,
let me tie that iron ribbon.
That dress I bought you…
it's the perfect one
The perfect night with the perfect woman.
But,
the nights disguise is wearing thin.

Caught me looking through your eyes.
No, I'm not doing alright…
I'm just as stupid and desperate as I've always been.
All the uselessness I write,
just come with me away from the night
and cut this sickness from my mind.
Help me forget about a shattered life.
Lead my failure into something right…

Something right,
something right.

Cut this sickness from my mind.
Help me forget about a shattered life.
Lead my failure into something right…
