Midnight Soldier

(album: Youth Is Wasted On The Young - 2016)

Blue skies in the beginning
All these destinies passing me by
Always a daily combat downtown
Deep behind the enemy lines
No name no blessings, yeah
Nothing really comes my way
Sometimes I wonder how long
Now I'm taking it day by day

Working out here earning is a lot harder, harder
Sleeping out here a gunshot is a lot louder, louder

Midnight soldier see me walking in the rain
Seeking shelter, you can see me slowly slipping away
All the lonely people, broken people
Roaming in the streets
Midnight soldier see me slowly slipping away

Inside this little prison
You'll find a vibrant burning heart
Young minds without a vision
Felt invincible from the start
Some strong some fragile
Isn't it like me and you?
This mainstreet is out exile
And the sidewalk is our point of view

Working out here earning is a lot harder, harder
Sleeping out here a gunshot is a lot louder, louder

Midnight soldier see me walking in the rain
Seeking shelter, you can see me slowly slipping away
All the lonely people, broken people
Roaming in the streets
Midnight soldier see me slowly slipping away

Oh, slipping away
Oh, slipping away

Working out here earning is a lot harder, harder
Sleeping out here a gunshot is a lot louder, louder

Midnight soldier see me walking in the rain
Seeking shelter, you can see me slowly slipping away
All the lonely people, broken people
Roaming in the streets
Midnight soldier see me slowly slipping away

Oh, slipping away
Oh, slipping away
