Analysis of Nyctophile
Now silence says more to me
Darkness attracts me more
Light does not help me to see
So I wait for night after whole day sore
Dark nights feel peacefuler than bright days
Now I am not alone Darkness accompanies me wherever I go
" You look better with me" to me silence says
So every night I sit with silence watching the moon glow
Staying awake whole night watching the beautiful black sky
All those depressing thoughts seem to vanish now
Ain't need to forget pain by drinking and getting high
This new company has made me forget everything somehow
I was simply torn, broken and alone
Everyone left by my side
But now with every night that I have grown
Don't need anyone until I have died
