The lights in your eyes Flip the switch of night The rest of the world goes Dark by comparison Confusing the crickets
I think if you left There'd be monsters Under my bed Biding their time until I slept Sharpening their fangs Practicing their persuasive voices Whispering "join us" Until I was one of the things To be afraid of Hiding in a child's closet
I think if you left I'd go blind Like one of those fish That lives in caves Evolving sightless for eons Bumping into rocks and Not really caring Imagining the world through echolocation And the water's vibrations Mating for life Because love is blind Just like cave fishes And one fin in the dark Is as good as another
I think if you left with those lights in your eyes I'd become something not myself I'd become unrecognizable Trying to catch a glimpse of the sunrise Far away on the horizon And ultimately shielding my nocturnal eyes From a light that could blind me Taking comfort in that old familiar song The crickets sing
What the hell have I been writing lately? I mean seriously guys? I'm washed up
