Midnight
Rock Kills Kid Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No start, no end
Stuck in the middle
Of all of these games
Running around in an empty room
Bumping into the cold brick walls
Pierce my lips until blood
Starts falling out the side of my head
And try to remember where I left off
And do it again
Midnight, I lie awake
No sleep until my dying day, yeah
Midnight, and time to waste
And I'll never move on, whoa whoa
Think deep, take myself to another scene
Anywhere else, but this empty room
Where every breath feels like my last
And I'll never move on
Midnight, I lie awake
No sleep until my dying day, yeah yeah
Midnight, and time to waste
And I'll never move on, whoa whoa
And it feels so strange
Living every night like this
Wasting it away, oh oh oh
And it feels so strange
Wasting it away
And it feels so strange
Think deep, take myself to another scene
Anywhere else, but this empty room
Where every breath feels like my last
And I'll never move on
Midnight, and I lie awake
No sleep until my dying day
Yeah, midnight, and time to waste
And I'll never go on, whoa whoa
And I'll never go on, whoa whoa
Whoa whoa, and I'll never go on
Whoa whoa...
