The Night's Disguise Lyrics - Rocky Votolato

The clouds are holding up the dawn 

They're stilts or crutches 

I can't tell which one 

To keep the short days looking longer 

Or to keep the sunlight from falling on broken legs 

But the 

Night's disguise is wearing thin 

Caught me looking through 

Your eyes 

No I'm not doing alright 

I'm just as stupid and 

Desperate as I've always been 

All the uselessness I write 

Just come at me with a knife 

Come cut this sickness from my 

Mind 

Help me forget about a shattered lie 

Bleed my failure 

Into something right 

The boss man said there's no more work 

This winter 

So go on home now and check back in the spring 

Some dreams turned out to be a nightmare that you can't afford 

So it's coming in on a credit card 

Get yourself all prettied up 

My love 

Come here close let me tie that ironed ribbon 

On the 

Dress I bought you it's the perfect one 

For the perfect night 

With the perfect woman 

But the night's disguise is wearing thin
