I Hate the Night - Ten Foot Pole

I hate the night

I hate the darkness while I wait for the next day

I hate the night

I hate the quiet the world sleeps their cares away

I hate the ticking of the clock

That reminds me we don’t talk

So our problems never fade

I hate the moon that smirks down on me

And the stars that taunt my sight

The same moon and stars that you’d see

If you weren’t too occupied to look up to the sky

I hate the night

I hate the night

I hate the times I choose to drink myself to sleep

I hate the night

And all the Sundays when my soul is prayed to keep

I hate the sound of the alarm

And I’m ready to do harm

Up alone and counting sheep

I hate the moon that smirks down on me

And the stars that taunt my sight

The same moon and stars that you’d see

If you weren’t too occupied to look up to the sky

I hate the night

Don’t want to give you the impression that I smile the whole damn day

But that’s another song, another hell, another lifetime away

Away, away

I hate the night

I hate the night

I hate the minutes when I wonder where you are

I hate the night

I hate the quiet so I pick up my guitar

I hate the sound of my own voice

And I regret the choice

That put you so very far

I hate the moon that smirks down on me

And the stars that taunt my sight

The same moon and stars that you’d see

If you weren’t too occupied to look up to the sky

I hate the night
