lyrics

Laura's in the basement, hanging from a rope,
all the reasons for her soul's demise are scrawled out on a note,
she's all dolled up and made up in her favourite boots and coat,
and burning on the painted concrete floor -

is her last cigarette, with a dark red lipstick stain.
well she was tired of this, of feeling so insane.

well it took her boyfriend months and months of therapy to see,
the notion that her death was not his burden to carry,
but must not void himself completely of responsibility,
he must remember that -

that she was real, like the sun and the sky, and the ocean is wide.
and free, god we pray she is free from the feelings that brought her to her knees..

the cars they are all moving, to the rhythm that i play
and the dead, they are all dancing in their graves
all the sounds of the cities midnight hour are in key with my melody
and the choir sings a chorus - under the street lights you can just make out their harmonies.

a child writes on the walls of his hospital ward 'cure of me, of this disease'
while laura's in her basement, she's waiting to be set free, she cries 'no one, no no one is coming for me'.

about

thenight Sydney, Australia

thenight (originally she's themorning and thenight) spawned from the song writing of lead singer Neal Critchley.

From this, add a little bit of rhythm here, a sprinkle of strings, and a dash of melody over there, and you have made yourself a band with great integrity and dedication. We are thenight, and we will have you singing along in no time.
