Midnight Was Always Too Early

version 1:
from Action Packed Self Destruction (June 14th 2014) (2:19)
The silence I craved scores the tragedies I used to wish for
Midnight was always too early to have any depth
All that I want now is what I refused to see
All that I wanted was beautiful misery
Taking my time til the time tells the tale tethered to me
I should have known that the story would never end well
We found our star but kept it far for fear of burning
Our world was bright, no chance of night, til it kept turning
Midnight was always too early but nothing cuts like too late
Midnight was always too early but nothing cuts like too late
Midnight was always too early to have any depth
All that I want now is what I refused to see
All that I wanted was beautiful misery
Taking my time til the time tells the tale tethered to me
I should have known that the story would never end well
We found our star but kept it far for fear of burning
Our world was bright, no chance of night, til it kept turning
Midnight was always too early but nothing cuts like too late
Midnight was always too early but nothing cuts like too late

The silence I craved scores the tragedies I used to wish for
Midnight was always too early to have any depth
All that I want now is what I refused to see
All that I wanted was beautiful misery
Taking my time til the time tells the tale tethered to me
I should have known that the story would never end well
We found our star but kept it far for fear of burning
Our world was bright, no chance of night, til it kept turning
Midnight was always too early but nothing cuts like too late
Midnight was always too early but nothing cuts like too late
Midnight was always too early to have any depth
All that I want now is what I refused to see
All that I wanted was beautiful misery
Taking my time til the time tells the tale tethered to me
I should have known that the story would never end well
We found our star but kept it far for fear of burning
Our world was bright, no chance of night, til it kept turning
Midnight was always too early but nothing cuts like too late
Midnight was always too early but nothing cuts like too late
