A stormy day provided the inspiration for this song.

The hardest thing about an open door is not going through.

When all of those regrets start staring down at you.

I find no comfort in a bottle or a box

And my head is pounding with the ticking of the clocks.

Oh, it’s still another endless night.

I got midnight on the inside.


You were the lifeline that kept me from losing myself.

Now my heart is howling so I can’t hear nothing else.

The doorway’s empty, it was splintered by the storm.

The line between us hangs tattered and forlorn.

And it’s still another endless night.

I got midnight on the inside.


Over and over and over I scream Please somebody shake me out of this dream

Of midnight on the inside.


All the chances to survive have blown away,

Ashes scattered from tomorrow to the grave.

The door was swinging shut when I last looked around.

The line is shredded into pieces on the ground.

And it’s still another endless night.

I got midnight on the inside.
