Nocturnal - Intellectual

[Verse 1: The Weeknd]

Street lights, turn on one by one

My hope is, descending like the sun

Try to tell myself there's freedom in the loneliness (Oh baby)

Always restless, story of my life

Disconnected, body clock's not right

Try to tell myself that I'mma get some sleep tonight

Found myself where I started, this isn't where I want to be

The time that I find hardest, always comes eventually

My shadow doesn't show in the dark

The night time is inclined to my heart

The emptiness I felt from the start

Will follow me 'till I fall apart

Nocturnal, nocturnal, nocturnal, nocturnal

My demons are blocking out the light

And my mind is about to lose the fight

Why can't I find peace, when a caracal could sleep tonight? (Yeah)

Your absence isn't something that I choose (choose, choose choose)

But the truth is you were never mine to lose (lose, lose, lose)

Spending half my life just tryna get away from you (Oh baby, oh)

Found myself where I started, this isn't where I want to be

The time that I find hardest, always comes eventually

My shadow doesn't show in the dark

The night time is inclined to my heart

The emptiness I felt from the start

Will follow me 'till I fall apart

Nocturnal, nocturnal, nocturnal, nocturnal

Nocturnal, nocturnal, nocturnal, nocturnal (Oh yeah)

My shadow doesn't show in the dark

The night time is inclined to my heart

The emptiness I felt from the start

Will follow me 'till I fall apart

Nocturnal, nocturnal, nocturnal, nocturnal
