[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]

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)

[Chorus]

twelve a.m.
when we begin
i've never needed friends
who aren't pretend

nightcrawler
nightcrawler
midnight altar for a
sleepless author

[Verse 2]

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

[Pre-Chorus]
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)

[Chorus]

twelve a.m.
when we begin
i've never needed friends
who aren't pretend

nightcrawler
nightcrawler
midnight altar for a
sleepless author

[Outro]

"don't be a loser"

"don't be a dud"

"don't fall in love"

"or you'll feel like crud"
