the night is not a warning

it’s just the sky at rest

the streets are full of nothing

and nothing feels a lot like peace

just my footsteps on the pavement,

scuffing down the street

moments I don't have to share

with who I used to be

I don't need purpose, when it's this late

I'm not waiting for an answer

there's no message to send

I am what I am

(nightcrawler)

(nightcrawler)

(nightcrawler)

(nightcrawler)

twelve a.m.

when we begin

i've never needed friends

who aren't pretend

nightcrawler

nightcrawler

midnight altar for a

sleepless author

i carry what i need to

and leave what i outgrow

the weight i used to worship

i finally let go

so just to let you know

i never needed saving

the dark was never chasing —

i walked in on my own

i don’t believe in closure

just distance that we make

i don’t look for forgiveness

I am what I planned

(nightcrawler)

(nightcrawler)

(nightcrawler)

(nightcrawler)

twelve a.m.

when we begin

i've never needed friends

who aren't pretend

nightcrawler

nightcrawler

midnight altar for a

sleepless author

"don't be a loser"

"don't be a dud"

"don't fall in love"

"or you'll feel like crud"
