End of the Night - Color Theory

At the end of the night

It can’t get any darker

I shrink from the shadows

Cast in fragile moonlight

With my back on the headboard

I sit on my mattress

Clutching my pillow

Scared to death of it all

At the birth of the stars

You come to me at nightfall

Laughing at my terror

As we struggle and spar

When it seems that you’ve won

The clock is my savoir

The promise of daylight

Denies all that you’ve done

And I can sleep again

I can sleep again

At the end of the night

My world at peace

I can sleep again

I can sleep again

At the end of the night

The nightmares cease

Echoes of mundane things

In waking dreams repeating

Two mirrors face inwards

And I’m caught in between

When it feels like forever

The clock is my savoir

It promises daylight

At the end of the night

And I can sleep again

I can sleep again

At the end of the night

My head is clear

I can sleep again

I can sleep again

It’s the end of the night

And hope is here
