- Artificial Nocturne Lyrics / with translationsI'm just as f*cked up as they say
I can't fake the daytime
Found an entrance to escape into the dark
Got false lights for the sun
It's an artificial nocturne
It's an outsider's escape for a broken heart
We hide out in the back
Like shadows in a stranger's dream
Hiding out in the back together
Hiding out in the back forever
I'm me
All that I believe
In dreams
So real
Fate, I have to take the con
Fate don't fail me now
I'm me
All that I believe
I set myself free
So take all the time you need
And let yourself be
I'm as f*cked up as they say
I can't fake the daytime
Found an entrance to escape into the dark
Got false lights for the sun
It's an artificial nocturne
An outsider's escape for a broken heart (x2)
I can't fake the daytime
Found an entrance to escape into the dark
Got false lights for the sun
It's an artificial nocturne
It's an outsider's escape for a broken heart
We hide out in the back
Like shadows in a stranger's dream
Hiding out in the back together
Hiding out in the back forever
I'm me
All that I believe
In dreams
Fate, I have to take the con
Fate don't fail me now
I'm me
All that I believe
I set myself free
So take all the time you need
And let yourself be
I'm as f*cked up as they say
I can't fake the daytime
Found an entrance to escape into the dark
Got false lights for the sun
It's an artificial nocturne
An outsider's escape for a broken heart (x2)
