lyrics

I can’t sleep at night anymore so I call my friend Pablo
See if he’s alright
I walk down the street
With my headphones on
Stare at the moon, listen to sad songs
I read lots of books, spend lots of time alone
I blow poems out my brain, blow poems out my brain
I’m the nightwalker, the boombap dreamer
The 2 am bus ride streetlamp creature
I search the night for the heartbreak healer
I walk in circles for the sunshine dealer
I become electric when the sun goes down
I’m the lunar king of this funky ass town
I drink gin and tonic, draw sketches in my head
I draw sketches in my head

Hello darkness, you’re my friend tonight
If you need me, I’ll be around
If you send me flowers, I’ll be in town
It’s been so long you’ve been by my side, hello darkness, you’re my friend tonight

I walk in the park with my hoodie up in the dark
Listen to the bugs, the silence, my heart
Text my friend Ricky but he’s not around,
Call my friend Mimi but she’s not in town
I walk the night with moonlight people
The freakout, the blackout, the batman people
I’m guided by the spirits, the stars, the legends, the stories, the quiet, the witches
Here comes my anger again, here comes my sadness again
I’m the night owl, the midnight flower
The folktale reaper, the poetry dealer
I search the night for the missing the puzzle pieces, I learn the lessons the darkness teaches
I get out of bed, pick up the pen
Draw sketches in my head, I draw sketches in my head

Hello darkness, you’re my friend tonight
If you need me, I’ll be around
If you send me flowers, I’ll be in town
It’s been so long you’ve been by my side, hello darkness, you’re my friend tonight
