Tried self-destruction ′til I couldn't function

I hurt myself, hated myself, it didn′t help me

Tried self-control, tried letting goTo heal myself, I went to hell, I hope you know

What it's like to fight your mind

When your skin still crawls at night

I pretend that I'm alright

′Til the lights go out

Don′t got a need for sleep

Stuck in a lucid dream

Daylight's not for me

That′s why I'm nocturnal

Hate when the morning comes

It′s light that I'm running from

Can′t fly too close to the sun

That's why I'm nocturnal

Ah, ah, ah, ah-ah

Ah, that′s why I′m nocturnal

Lost in the static, I can't move past it

I got this far, I need the dark, a little madness

A little patience, some kind of saving

Keep circling to find another light worth chasing

I pretend that I′m alright

'Til the lights go out

Don′t got a need for sleep

Stuck in a lucid dream

Daylight's not for me

That′s why I'm nocturnal

Hate when the morning comes

It's light that I′m running from

Can′t fly too close to the sun

That's why I′m nocturnal

Ah, ah, ah, ah-ah

Ah, that's why I′m nocturnal

That's why I′m nocturnal

That's why I'm nocturnal

I pretend that I′m alright
