Lyrics
(Intro)
[Verse 1]
Pages turn in silent rage, candle burning at both ends;
Notes and books, a cluttered stage, where my youth seems to descend.
Chasing grades that slip away, like dreams at dawn's first light;
Whispered screams in hallowed halls, another sleepless night.
[Pre-Chorus]
This manic mind, it races wild, through formulas and text;
I'm just a number, just a file, in a system so complex.
[Chorus]
Midnight in the library, where my cries are drowned by lore,
Every book on every shelf is a door to some new chore.
In the silence I find noise, in the dark, my fears deploy,
Trapped inside these scholarly walls, midnight in the library calls.
[Melodic Interlude]
[Verse 2]
Eyes are strained, my heart is sore, from this relentless quest;
The endless pressure to be more, won't let my spirit rest.
Bright futures sold in brochures, now seem a distant lie;
On this battleground of knowledge, I'm on the front line.
[Pre-Chorus]
With each test I'm hanging by, a thread that's wearing thin;
I'm close to breaking, but I try, can't let this system win.
[Chorus]
Midnight in the library, where my cries are drowned by lore,
Every book on every shelf is a door to some new chore.
In the silence I find noise, in the dark, my fears deploy,
Trapped inside these scholarly walls, midnight in the library calls.
[Bridge]
In the mirror of the night, I see a stranger's face,
He's wearing all my hopes and fears, but worn out by the race.
The echo of my future self, screams, "hold on, don't resign,"
But the resolve is hard to find, when you're on borrowed time.
[Chorus]
Midnight in the library, where my cries are drowned by lore,
Every book on every shelf is a door to some new chore.
In the silence I find noise, in the dark, my fears deploy,
Trapped inside these scholarly walls, midnight in the library calls.
(Outro)
[End]
