it's two a.m.   the whiskey screams   it wants escape   not now      the world around me sleeps   I stir   I am the night   I breathe   I am the night      insistent fervor   keeps my head on straight   contrast the daylight ahead   the balance remains   symbiosis of me      I live   to learn   and see   there's more that I can know      I dream   to be   awake   I lose the time      inside   outside   on every path I take      I am   the night   symbiosis I call me
