Story Behind The Song
I woke up at 4am one morning and couldn't sleep, so I walked around the apartment and met my roommate (who was still awake). Apparently I wasn't making much sense of anything and was rather confused and disoriented (I don't remember much about it), so I babbled on about something for a while and then went back to bed. I later wrote this song about that experience.

Lyrics
4am
It?s 4am
I awaken to the sound of my mind what I find is the sound of a friend
It?s 4am
My eyes open wide though I?m tired and I try to make sense of this again
It?s 4am
I open the door count the score see that you?re more confused by these events
It?s 4am
For a while I just smile at the style I think I?ll try to close my eyes again
Yes, I?ll close my eyes again
It?s 4am
I try to dream but it seems that the things that I dream don?t make sense
It?s 4am
I try to think but my thoughts scare a lot of what?s not with this trend
It?s 4am
I toss around on the ground ?cause I found that these sounds can offend
It?s 4am
And all I can hear is the fear staring clear through the mirror
And I know I don?t belong
(repeat verse)
