3 AM Convenience

[Chorus] Three AM, fluorescent haze Empty streets in a neon maze Just a ghost in this concrete sprawl Answering the city's lonely call This convenience store, my only light Fading into the endless night [Verse] Headlights paint the window pane Another soul lost in the rain Keys are cold, the door clicks shut Leaving silence in its rut Familiar aisles, a silent hum Waiting for the morning to come [Pre-Chorus] My reflection in the glass Watching lonely moments pass Is there anyone else awake? For goodness sake, my spirit aches [Chorus] Three AM, fluorescent haze Empty streets in a neon maze Just a ghost in this concrete sprawl Answering the city's lonely call This convenience store, my only light Fading into the endless night [Bridge] The coffee's bitter, the air is still Just the ticking of the clock's cruel will Stories whispered by the silent shelves We all hide pieces of ourselves In the quiet of the closing hour Searching for a fading flower [Verse] Flicker of the soda sign Another lonely, passing line Of headlights on the wet asphalt My own heart beats a slow assault Against the stillness, against the dread Of all the words that go unsaid [Pre-Chorus] My reflection in the glass Watching lonely moments pass Is there anyone else awake? For goodness sake, my spirit aches [Chorus] Three AM, fluorescent haze Empty streets in a neon maze Just a ghost in this concrete sprawl Answering the city's lonely call This convenience store, my only light Fading into the endless night [Outro]
