More of an arrangement than a remix or cover, this song is part of the great Armageddon Project remixing project. Mine is a more electronic version than the original. I wanted to go with a "Welcome To The Machine" feel for this song, and I think it worked out pretty well. Please give me your thoughts.

Story Behind the Song
The very first time I heard this song, I knew I would have to make it my own. I spent more time on this song than almost any other, perhaps more than any other, and I'm still unsure if it's satisfactory (to my perfectionist standards). It is undoubtably one of my best yet, however, as I'm never truly satisfied with my work, I suppose. The original song was written by Mike of the Armageddon Project, about suicide. I kept the original intent of the song the same, but bent it a bit to apply to me. Clearly, my added lyrics reflect on my struggle with depression, and the fact that I write music to express myself and relieve that depression.
Lyrics
Lyrics By the Armageddon Project:
verse 1
-------
As nightfall comes, the lonely whispers filling up my head
Blood red eyes and sleeplessness from crying by my bed
Lying, staring at the ceiling will soon become my bane
Desperation brings the time when I will try again
chorus 1
--------
When nightfall comes
When nightfall comes
verse 2
--------
I see you falling to your knees, you do your best to pray
A vision floating oh so near, and yet so far away
Time is endless, wholly boundless, the path is true and straight
Nothing could ever make me stray; forever or as long as it takes
chorus 2
-----------------------
When nightfall comes
I'll be waiting
When nightfall comes
Drawing near
When nightfall comes
I'll be praying
When nightfall comes
For you to hear
Added Lyrics by Aaron Becker (The Second Child):
When nightfall comes I am suddenly flying
For miles and miles in the night, over fields
When I close my eyes and become what I want to
The fighting stops and my depression yields
And I sometimes wonder if trying is worth it
If I'm just as worthless and dumb as they say
But I close my eyes and ignore all the pain
And I think of the music that I'll write someday
