what you see isnt real
and what you know you know you cant feel
and everybody's happier with it that way

you can make a stupid smile
walk your face another mile
but you know its all just bullshit on your day

you can feel it creepin up the stairs while youre sleepin
and put a hand over the mouth god made

and if you put up a resist
you will always feel the fist
that feeds you while the mercy's on parade

chorus
fall on your knees
and pray for a reprieve
and please god, make the nighttime day

you hardly need to hear
all the things you'll need to fear
if you say a single word of what's made you lame

cause there's a legacy of threat
if you wanna try and hedge your bets
they'd just as soon call you crazy as say your name

it's easier to forget
what you were or better yet
who you were always hoping you would be

point the finger at yourself
and put your toys back on the shelf
and hope the boy you've been loving will never see

chorus
fall on your knees
and pray for a reprieve
and please god, make the nighttime day
