The best thing about darkness Is that it isn't really heartless We unluckily perceive it by These lies used to conceal it And in a world full of light We're taught to avoid the Oh so Shadowing night And despite its best intentions It's left untouched and never Mentioned. It loves us all to death But to death is how we see it. We think it's something brutal But it's really nothing crude at all It's warming It covers up the pain and hides ours sorrows all away, And yet we sit here and frown upon it another day Not truly realizing all the ways it's helped us. Or the ways that it protects us. Just the ways it scares us.

The Truth About Darkness
The best thing about darkness Is that it isn't really heartless We unluckily perceive it by These lies used to conceal it And in a world full of light We're taught to avoid the Oh so Shadowing night And despite its best intentions It's left untouched and never Mentioned. It loves us all to death But to death is how we see it. We think it's something brutal But it's really nothing crude at all It's warming It covers up the pain and hides ours sorrows all away, And yet we sit here and frown upon it another day Not truly realizing all the ways it's helped us. Or the ways that it protects us. Just the ways it scares us.
