"Up At Night" (original song)

Just wrote this a little while ago and wanted to share it. It's the first passion driven thing I've been able to write in a while so I'm thankful for that. Hopefully you enjoy it.

LYRIC:

"Up At Night"

Words, Music & Melody
By Julia Collins

Calling out two warriors
Who been residing under the bed
Calling out two warriors
Who try to siphon peace right from my head
Calling out two demons
Demons who been putting up a fight
Calling out two demons
Demons who been keeping me from what's right

Calling out two liars
Who've had me dwelling in the dark
Calling out two liars
Who been hardening my heart
Calling out two demons
Demons that I once claimed as mine
Calling out two demons
Freedom will be mine tonight


Cuz I've been waiting so long, so long
I've been staying so still, so still
And you've been so wrong and so willing
To use me to make your killing
Well, I guess that I've been wrong and willing too
I guess that means that I've been wrong and willing too


I'm putting out these fires
Your tricks are not my trade
I'm putting out these fires
Only through love will I be saved
I'm calling out two demons
Demons who wanna see me overthrown
I'm calling out your blindness, your highness
See how I have grown?


While I've been waiting so long, so long
And I've been staying so still, so still
You've been so wrong and so willing
To use me to make your killing
And I know that I've been wrong and willing too
Now I know that I've been wrong and willing too


But you swore you had my back
You had my heart so safe
So safe right from the start
You had my best interest in mind
You had my best interest in mind
You loved me even when distraught
You loved me but I never thought...


I'd be waiting so long, so long
Or I'd be staying so still, so still
And you'd be so wrong and so willing
To use me to make your killing
Well, I guess that I've been wrong and willing too
I guess that means that I've been wrong and willing too


Calling out two warriors
Who been residing under the bed
Calling out two warriors
Who try to siphon peace right from my head
Calling out two demons
Demons who been putting up a fight
Calling out two demons
Demons who been keeping me up at night
