⸻
(Verse 1)
I don’t bloom in morning light
I flinch when people smile too bright
I tiptoe through the perfect days
Like a moth that’s lost its way
They call me strange, like I don’t know
But the night’s the only place I glow
Your garden gates were locked at dawn
So I kept drifting on and on
⸻
(Pre-Chorus)
I’m just a whisper in your window
A flake of dust you’ll never name
But every spark that burned inside me
Still sets the shadows into flame
⸻
(Chorus)
I’m mostly nocturnal, I live in the hush
Moon-eyed and haunted, addicted to dusk
Butterflies sparkle, but I sting with charm—
I wear my sorrow like a lucky charm
Don’t need a daylight to feel alive
I crash into stars when the world goes blind
I’m mostly nocturnal—
And babe, I don’t mind
⸻
(Verse 2)
I’ve got a sweater full of holes
A head that sings with quiet ghosts
I drink my coffee cold and late
My heart don’t beat—it resonates
I kissed your glow, then slipped away
Like dreams that fade at break of day
But in the dark, I paint with fire
Call me strange—I match my attire
⸻
(Pre-Chorus)
I’m not soft wings in perfect skies
I’m the flicker that survives
You try to catch me, I slip through
I fly too quiet to be true
⸻
(Chorus – repeat)
I’m mostly nocturnal, I live in the hush
Moon-eyed and haunted, addicted to dusk
Butterflies sparkle, but I sting with charm—
I wear my sorrow like a lucky charm
Don’t need a daylight to feel alive
I crash into stars when the world goes blind
I’m mostly nocturnal—
And babe, I don’t mind
⸻
(Bridge)
I’m not broken, I’m just wired
To dance in places that feel tired
I’m not cute—I’m crawling flame
You keep the light, I’ll fade unnamed
⸻
(Grand Finale)
So light a candle, lock the doors
I’m flying circles like before
You call me creepy, but I’m free
And I’m just who I’m meant to be—
Mostly nocturnal.
Still burning beautifully.
Mostly Nocturnal
Oooooooh-yeeeeaaaaah!!!!!!!!!!
Mostly Nocturnal
