The dark is my favourite friend, It welcomes me with open arms, Every night he comes, Forever bearing gifts. One night after the other, Who am I to refuse, For I am alone, And he is always on time. I may not sleep, But it does not matter, For I have company, My reliable companion. And before I finally sleep, And the light of enemy appears, I bid farewell, Until our next wanted meeting.

The Dark

The dark is my favourite friend, It welcomes me with open arms, Every night he comes, Forever bearing gifts. One night after the other, Who am I to refuse, For I am alone, And he is always on time. I may not sleep, But it does not matter, For I have company, My reliable companion. And before I finally sleep, And the light of enemy appears, I bid farewell, Until our next wanted meeting.

Fight for money Poison and honey Ain't nothing funny Rarely turns sunny. Hard to tan Race is ran In the can **** the man. Numb at hand Short of sand Drain the land Start your band. Laying in bed Empty of lead Best left unsaid Before we're dead.

Ups and downs Grins and frowns Balloons and clowns Floats and drowns. Heals and cuts Opens and shuts Angels and ***** Sane and nuts. Make and break Real and fake Give and take Birth and wake. Warmth and chills Sleep and pills Health and ills Grows and kills.

No Calm

Full of creases Cut to pieces Hung up dry Swallow that cry. Piece of cake Ready to break Slice of pie Time to die. Shot to **** Primed to hit Full to top Ready to drop. Made of pain Little no gain Truth and fail Tooth and nail.

Fall down on your knees For what we ask please Nothing true comes with ease Come touch the open breeze. Who calls the shots? The haves and have nots Drawing straws and lots Run with no ifs, buts and what's. For the light does still burn Another year your world will turn Still time for you to learn As long as your hunger does yearn. A life of struggle and bear For if you ever care To take that first step and dare That's freedom for you right there.

Freedom.

Fall down on your knees For what we ask please Nothing true comes with ease Come touch the open breeze. Who calls the shots? The haves and have nots Drawing straws and lots Run with no ifs, buts and what's. For the light does still burn Another year your world will turn Still time for you to learn As long as your hunger does yearn. A life of struggle and bear For if you ever care To take that first step and dare That's freedom for you right there.
