Lyric

Black on black, and black again

No real reason, it’s just my skin

Sighing at the mirror’s face

Still alive in this weary place

Brows and liner, getting them right

I’m already exhausted, done with the fight

Whispering "Darkness" to play the part

But I’m just sleepy, deep in my heart

Acting so cool, keeping the grit

While behind the scenes, I’m ready to quit

More than a night that’ll never end

I want a "today" that I can transcend

Darkness O'clock

Yeah, I’m clocking out tonight

Left my tears and my spotlight

At the local store under the neon light

Darkness O'clock

My eyelids are lead, I’m falling fast

But on the stage, I’m making it last

Singing of "Eternity" like a ghost from the past

Too lazy to wipe the makeup away

Crash on the bed, let the colors stay

Dreamt of God and He looked at me

Said, "Go to sleep," and let it be

"You’re so beautiful," the comments fly

But I’m just a filter, a scripted lie

Looking the part, yeah, I look okay

But inside I’m at my limit today

Darkness O'clock

Don't ask for love, don't ask for dreams

The shine is just the lighting beams

I’m feeling empty at the seams

Darkness O'clock

Hungry as hell after the show

But on the stage, I let it go

Screaming "The Meaning of Life" for the front row

Black on black, and black again

Tomorrow’s probably black again

Darkness looks cool, yeah, that’s the deal

But being this sleepy is the only thing real

(Darkness O'clock...)

(Time to sleep...)
