Endless Night Lyrics
I had the time but I blew it
I had the power and I knew it
Had the energy, but outgrew it
The identity but saw through it, yeahI had the walk, but got trampled
Had the taste, it was sampled
I had the engine dismantled
Had the flame, but no candleI can't bear to see how it all looks in the light, keep it hidden now
If I could only find a switch that turns on the endless night
That turns on the endless night, that turns on the endless night
That turns on the endless nightIf there's a wire, must cross it
If there's a coin, must toss it
If it's dirt, can't wash it
It's my head, don't cosh itThere's a door, but they shut it
We all bleed, they cut it
It's so dark when you don't fit
It's a gauntlet, you gotta run it, oh babyI can't bear to see how it all looks in the light, keep it hidden now
If I could only find a switch that turns on the endless night
That turns on the endless night, that turns on the endless night
That turns on the endless night
Turn on the endless nightTurn on the endless, turn on the endless, turn on the endlessIf there's a cross, then bear it
If there's a loss, then share it
If it's a risk, let's dare it
If it's blindness, outstare itI can't bear to see how it all looks in the light, keep it hidden now
If I could only find a switch that turns on the endless night
That turns on the endless night, that turns on the endless night
That turns on the endless nightThat turns on the endless night, let's turn on the endless night
Just turn on the endless night, let's turn on the endless night
And turn on the endless nightTurn on the endless night
I turn on the endless night, the endless night
Turn on the endless nights, the endless night
