paid in quarters - September Lyrics

Summer days are fading fast now
Darker times are creeping in
Shorter days mean longer nights now
More time to let them in

Lying awake in my bedroom
I catch them in the shadows here
I know as soon as i turn the lights out
Their forms will draw in near

I know better than to let my darker visions inform me
I'm smart enough not to let them win
But til the sunlight gleams on the horizon
I will keep my eyes open

Trying hard just to keep the black out
Focus on the one i've been
Fingernails dig into my skin
How to stop, once i begin?

I know better than to let my darker visions inform me
I'm smart enough not to let them win
But til the sunlight gleams on the horizon
I will keep my eyes open

I know better than to let my darker visions inform me
I'm smart enough not to let them win
But til the sunrise gleams on the horizon
I will keep my eyes open
