Released August 15, 2016 on Cavetown’s Bandcamp page, Night Knuckles is the first song on the album 16/04/16. Featuring strong guitar riffs and a moving, haunting melody, the song is about the distortion of time during the night, the feelings of confusion, emptiness and peace.
[Verse 1]
Welcome to midnight
Screams when I open my eyes
Premeditated isolation
And it still bites
[Verse 2]
Welcome to real life
Time doesn’t matter and you’re gonna die
Drip drop it goes through the holes in your skull
In the night time they grow
In the night time they grow
[Verse 3]
Leave if you’re sure
When it comes to this you know better than you think
And don’t tell me it’s fine
Don’t tell me I’m wrong
Because the faker the hope
The more painful the song
[Verse 4]
Get it in your thick skull
Of course it won’t be easy
It’s just the way it is, deal with it, I’m tired of whining
These are just things that I hammer into my skin
In the night when the sky looks like my
Knuckles and my eyes
