lyrics

Night breaks day
Light fades away
I lean in close because I want to say
It's not too late

But it is
The creatures begin to stir
Showing off their glowing eyes
And those expensive furs

I take you by the hand
As we try to leave them all behind
We can leave them all behind
If we could just make it around the bend

You look back and I can hear you scream
I say "It's okay, the night just changes things, and me"
Ignore the glowing eyes
Let's just make it around the bend
And hope when day breaks it'll all be the same again
I hope I'll be the same again

There's no knowing what's to come
As we run from each other
And we run from ourselves
The truth is we're all monsters
And no one can tell...
Whats around the bend
