"Nightingale" lyrics

"Nightingale"

Ripped from the inside
And out of your neck
I was food for the night owl
Food for the nightingale

Here for the meantime
Just hours to spend
I guess we're running out of time
Running out of all the nightmares you staved

You scribbed them out
Pacing the night away
Up and down
Never know where all their eyes look now
Way out of bounds
Lonely in love again, lonely without

Moonshine like sunlight
I wait for the click
I was food for the mayfly
Food for the nightingale

Tone deaf and tongue tied
The words never stick
And you're never gonna get em right
Never gonna find the right thing to say

So sing it out loud
Eavesdropped on everything, figured you out
You never where other guys look now
Way out of town
Longing for love again lust for now

Sing for the night
Sing for the nightingale
Thinking aloud wonder where you go
Sing for a sign
Sing for the nights you say
You strayed away from your mother's arms
Pondering every thought

You shivered out loud
In the middle of the night
Ducked down the alleyway, got strung out
You never know what's on their mind's anyhow
Something unsound
Fall back in sync again fall back out
You're never gonna get out
I've been down
Deep in the throes of it, frozen ground
You'll never know just what they took for you now
Will never be found
Loved like a family, loved somehow
But you're never gonna get out
Da da da da
You're never gonna get out
But you're never gonna get out
You're never gonna get out this time
