Night Doesn't Ask

[Intro] [Verse 1] Streetlight in the glass like a low-grade halo Smoke in the vent and a key left cold on the table Somewhere a laugh breaks sharp in the hall Someone says my name like a dare The room already knows what I came here for No one says it out loud No one needs to The body hears the cue before the mind gets near it And steps right through [Pre-Chorus] Night doesn’t ask Who you were all day Night doesn’t ask What it’s taking when it takes [Chorus] Night doesn’t ask It just opens up Low light, slow hands And the promise of enough Night doesn’t ask It just pulls you in Till the room feels warm And the self wears thin [Verse 2] Bottle sweat on the edge of the sink Phone face-down like it doesn’t know me Music in the wall, bass in the ribs Everything close and nothing holy We move like this has always worked Like the dark is a language we trust Like there’s no cost in repeating the shape If the shape still keeps the silence off us [Pre-Chorus] Night doesn’t ask What you can’t outrun Night doesn’t ask If the morning will want what you’ve done [Chorus] Night doesn’t ask It just opens up Low light, slow hands And the promise of enough Night doesn’t ask It just pulls you in Till the room feels warm And the self wears thin [Bridge] No witness No judge No clear line No love Just one more hour Without the weight of your name Just one more lie That still knows how to taste right [Final Chorus] Night doesn’t ask It just takes its shape Low light, low pulse And whatever you can’t say Night doesn’t ask It just lets you in Till the room goes quiet And the dark wears your skin [Outro] No warning No prayer Just the hour And the air
