Whispers of the Night - Dusty Nelson

Oh I was drawn to the dark nights Deafened by the stories told The freedom of the unknown Was broken by the bitter cold As it chewed and it gnawed at my bones The bitter taste that temptation left in my mouth Remains no matter how hard I try to spit it out Oh I try an I try through the days and through the nights to lift the weight above me before I crack through the ice Whispers of the night Hold me tightly Under the waters of Demise As the current shifts just slightly I can almost taste the blue skies Oh I've taken flight Just to end up grounded with my eyes shut tight Oh I know where your demons hide Underneath your skin they cut you deep and wide Every thought I've taken echoes in my mind I'm hindered by the shallow fear of my own design Oh I hold to these vices of mine just To feel the pull of weakness one last time Whispers of the night Hold me tightly Under the waters of Demise As the current shifts just slightly I can almost taste the blue skies
