Night Fell

In the bright lights of a late night
They'll shut the door and fade away
Left in the darkness of the car's interior
No one will ask if you get home safe

Five stars in the glow of infinite
Clip yourself through the door
Take out your wallet, phone, and keys
Now wonder why you ever even go out at all

You're a homebody
You're a homebody
You're a homebody with no home and no body
I

Late nights in front of bright light
Visiting sites of the dead
Crickets hum to the mini electri-cities
Scoring the thoughts inside your head

Cross-legged upon a springboard
Flicking digital matches into digital pools
Until the analog sun reminds you of yourself
And you wonder why you never even go out at all

You're a nobody
You're a nobody
You're a nobody with no phone and no wallet
I

Charlie, my friend, I don't see you anymore
Remember all those sunny days we spent indoors
We lived in a house of cards 'til the wind blew past it
What a shame, oh, what a shame
Wish we could've done more
