Lyrics
Eyes in the dark watching me
The pulse inside my throat runs fast
The air crackles with unseen life
Something moves and I don't flinch
Nocturnal the night is wide awake
Nocturnal the night is wide awake
Wide awake
Wide awake
The frogs crescendo past the edge
An owl calls from the canopy
My skin is electric with the dark
I feel the night against my teeth
Midnight peels the daylight skin from everything
And what remains is truer raw electric unnamed
Nocturnal the night is wide awake
Nocturnal the night is wide awake
Wide awake
Wide awake
The bonang drives the blood along
Metal on metal on metal on bone
The forest floor vibrates with drums
I am the animal I was
Midnight breaks and nothing stops
The creatures own this hour whole
I run my tongue across the air
It tastes of iron and alive
Wide awake wide awake
