about

If your comfort zone is not in happy-land, you may be a creature of the night.

lyrics

The sun is shining brightly
But I don’t play that game
I prefer the darkness to the light
They say I have that weakness
They say I’ve got it bad
It’s a bug and not a feature…
I am a creature of the night

I hold on to the darkness
As if it were my friend
I never got the art of living right
I walked into that room
And shut the door on myself
Must be a creature of the night

Closing in
Closing in
Oh, oh, oh, oh, closing in on me

I cower from the sunlight
Fearful like a mouse
Hiding from everything in sight
The evening brings me cover
It makes me feel so safe
Am I a creature…
Is the nighttime my teacher…
Am I a creature of the night?

Oh, oh. Oh, oh.
Oh, oh, oh, closing in on me

The sun is shining brightly
But I don’t play that game
I’m drawn to the darkness not the light
They say I have that weakness
They say I’ve got it bad
It’s a bug and not a feature…
I am a creature…
Must be a creature of the night
I am a creature of the night
I am a creature of the night
