After Midnight

Lyrics

Woken up by the sound of my own heart Telling me to beat my soul in a surreal game of chess In which I'm the pawn and jealousy's the king I wrote a book in which my worth Was pitted against my actions in a footrace The winner was my false profession And now the sun's set and I'm at the edge of a tower built of regret I'll stand tall and I'll take the fall, the chance of the roulette It's time to banish this evil life of anger, worry and debt After midnight, I'll be stronger, the clock is counting down To the day when I can climb up on my high horse then jump down to the ground After midnight, I'll be ready for all the ups and downs Every push in the wrong direction redirected, tell me I look good in my prime I sang of confrontation, it led to the end of an era There's nothing left for me I preach and I scream out all of the things I'd change within the world But no one ever listens Now the sun's set and I'm off the edge, there's nothing left but regret They tell me stand tall and take the fall, misfortune of the roulette I used to think all there was to life was anger, worry and debt After midnight, I'll be stronger, the clock is counting down To the day when I can climb up on my high horse then jump down to the ground After midnight, I'll be ready for all the ups and downs Every push in the wrong direction redirected, tell me I look good in my prime After midnight, I'll be stronger, the clock is counting down To the day when I can climb up on my high horse then jump down to the ground After midnight, I'll be ready for all the ups and downs Every push in the wrong direction redirected After midnight the sun will rise, and the moon will fall I will sing of battles won because the Prime has come
