Dark and warm, featuring an intimate male vocal accompanied by a lonely acoustic guitar, sparse drums and far away orchestration, "Nights Just Like This" conveys a feeling of being at the end of one's rope and dying inside daily while thinking how maybe ending one's own life is a suitable way to finally end all of this earthly pain, despair and disappointment.

Lyrics
Listen, I'll sing you a lullaby
It's sweet and it's tender so feel free to cry
I'm not afraid of no man or no day
It's nights just like this
Alone with no reply
Shadow darkened abyss
And on every one I die
It's nights just like this that I die
A different perspective when the world's asleep
Time to be reflective and even to weep
Feel better alone, I don't care what they say
It's nights just like this
With mornin' not even nigh
The moonlight's sensitive kiss
And every one I die
It's nights just like this that I die
My plan for tomorrow's for it not to come
A hymn on a banjo, a dirge on a drum
Immersed in the dark one can't see my black eye
It's nights just like this
With nary a star in the sky
Midst dew and settling mist
And on every one I die
It's nights just like this that I die
My plan for tomorrow's for it not to come
A hymn on a banjo, a dirge on a drum
Immersed in the dark one can't see my black eye
It's nights just like this
And lately I've just been so shy
The maybes and what ifs persist
They can't say that I never tried
One item bucket list
Surrender is always nearby
It's night's just like this
And on every one I die
I likely won't even be missed
It's nights just like this that I die
