Three AM a fever, down in the dumps
The first one hollered the second jumped
The third wrote a letter to his family
Said I'll kill everyone if it’s up to me

Staggered in a bathroom, looking for the drain
Sucking down the misery, it’ll ease some pain
Scared by the turning, clutching at the light
Anything that’ll get me through this long night

Long night, it’s a long night
We all got this slow burning fever, no relief in sight
Long night, it’s a long night
Spirits it’s the darkest hours
Please take from me this appetite

Up against the window, back against the wall
Staring down the gods, gotta take it all
No place to run to, no place to hide
Night is gonna fall, gotta pick our side

Waking up every morning to the same bad news
Don’t matter where you turn or what you choose
We’re crippled by our fears, clutching for light
One and all we’re cowards, running from the night

Long night, it’s a long night
We all got this slow burning fever, no relief in sight
Long night, it’s a long night
Spirits it’s the darkest hours
Please take from me this appetite

I don't wanna take that long drive

Too late... it's too late

Three AM a fever, down in the dumps
The first one hollered the second jumped
The third wrote a letter to his family
Said I'll kill everyone if it’s up to me

Long night, it’s a long night
We all got this slow burning fever, no relief in sight
Long night, it’s a long night
Spirits it’s the darkest hours
Please take from me this appetite

I’m not ready for our long night
As always comments and critiques are welcome.

And once again the lovely and talented CIChantea has done a vocal rendition of one of my pieces. Go ahead and give it a listen and tell her how awesome she is!
