I like to be in my room with the lights off I like the way darkness feels as it wraps it’s cold hand around me I like how quiet the lack of light can appear to be And how loud it is when you learn to listen I like when there are no street lights on outside my window When I’m not the only one covered in the blackness of the night It is so hard to feel alone when everyone is the same Stuck in the timeless embrace of shadows But Again and again the sun will rise And it will cover the earth as if it had never left Leaving the opposite to feel what i had felt Warming my face with the daily schedule When the sun is up I have to do everything When the sun is down I get to do anything The biggest difference imaginable by just two words Could be the reason anyone ever truly lives

The Blackness of the Night
I like to be in my room with the lights off I like the way darkness feels as it wraps it’s cold hand around me I like how quiet the lack of light can appear to be And how loud it is when you learn to listen I like when there are no street lights on outside my window When I’m not the only one covered in the blackness of the night It is so hard to feel alone when everyone is the same Stuck in the timeless embrace of shadows But Again and again the sun will rise And it will cover the earth as if it had never left Leaving the opposite to feel what i had felt Warming my face with the daily schedule When the sun is up I have to do everything When the sun is down I get to do anything The biggest difference imaginable by just two words Could be the reason anyone ever truly lives
