what you see isnt real
and what you know you know you cant feel
and everybody's happier with it that way
you can make a stupid smile
walk your face another mile
but you know its all just bullshit on your day
you can feel it creepin up the stairs while youre sleepin
and put a hand over the mouth god made
and if you put up a resist you will always feel the fist
that feeds you while the mercy's on parade
chorus
fall on your knees and pray for a reprieve
and please god, make the nighttime day
you hardly need to hear
all the things you'll need to fear
if you say a single word of what's made you lame
'cause there's a legacy of threat if you wanna try and hedge your bets
they'd just as soon call you crazy as say your name
it's easier to forget what you were or better yet
who you were always hoping you would be
point the finger at yourself and put your toys back on the shelf
and hope the boy youve been loving will never see
chorus
fall on your knees and pray for a reprieve
and please god, make the nighttime day
and please god, make the nighttime day
