Call me a slave to reason, I’ve got a tale to tell
Now here’s what church should feel like, no saving us from hell
It’s time to feed the demons, eyes roll, just count the days
No clause for understanding, stoke the flames and misbehave
Me and death, separated by reality’s disease
Monsters, victims, witnesses to argue for degrees
Lifetime to humanize if you don’t black out instead
If you never been rabid, well you ain’t never lived
Future, past, it’s hard to separate
Traffic-tested reckless, altered fate
I’m a nighttimer, hear the call
Learn to live like animals
Rant and rave, you don’t hear what they say
Nighttimer, time to crash
Boost a peak to make it last
Futile cause to ask you to obey
