Nights Longer, Lives Shorter

The clock ticks slowly

As time passes through the night

The only sound, blade against skin

The dark stealing their sight

Who are they? You may ask

Well here, I'll tell you

They are the "fallen angels"

The one's that have a lot to go through

They cut their wrists

Try to fade

They fake a smile

Their life's a charade

Some are anorexic

Some binge-eaters

Some self harm

Some are broken dreamers

But whenever the night

Stretches on and on

We're alone with our thoughts

All our happiness gone

Unbearable it is for them

To think all those things

They want to disappear

And once again have wings

So as the night goes on longer

Their minds they can no longer sort

The quiet stretches on

As their lives are cut short
