Man of Midnight
lyrics & music by Ava Anderson
a collaboration with Billy Dee Williams & Matthew McCain


Underneath a light
There's something of a man
In between the cracks
Of white and blue and red

Underneath the skin
A heart beats in half
Jagged and afraid
I'll never come back

Listen to the man of midnight
Crying out for help
On this stage
An empty face
A shadow of myself
Can you hear the man of midnight
Reaching with frail hands
Choose a side
Or run and hide
But the night always wins
 
Deep beneath the soul
Tension pulls two ways
Trailing toward a darkness
I fear you'll never see my face
 
Listen to the man of midnight
Crying out for help
On this stage
An empty face
A shadow of myself
Can you hear the man of midnight
Reaching with frail hands
Choose a side
Or run and hide
But the night always wins
