unguard my nest and leave my little ones
across your lawn
I carry on
my patient paws see only black and white
is that natural
to be nocturnal
when I close my eyes
I'm a different person
when I close my eyes
maybe I'm not hurting
anymore
in the shadow of your bedroom light
just out of sight
crawling with life
a witness to all that you do inside
your life exposed
by a garden gnome
put your nose up to the window pane
its not your fault
I'm nocturnal
when I close my eyes
I'm a different person
when I close my eyes
maybe I'm not hurting
anymore
so you and I will spend our life away
you're natural
I'm nocturnal
