I have great disdain for the light of the day
Oh how I plead the sun shall go away

2. The world around is much too bright
And every speck is seen in perfect sight

3. In the day, there is no mystery, there is no danger
There are no heroes, there are no strangers

4.The light illuminates each crack on the street
And the flaws in everyone you meet

5. For the day is dedicated to the labor
The workers hand in hand with neighbors

6. In the light we toil through the same routine
Just a small part of the big machine


1. I much prefer the darkness of the night
And bask in the shadows of artificial light

2. For the shadows, they lie in between
Where the darkest of corners are never meant to be seen

3. In the night, there is a history, a story changer
An ambiance of impending danger

 4. And in the dark, the streets are paved with desire
Our passions personified, ignited by fire

5. So into the night we venture in sin
Impatiently wishing for the adventure to begin

6.Because in the darkness we are all free
Masked by the shadows from the people to see



7. So as the sun reaches it’s greatest of height
I go inside to await the embrace of the night
For the truth hurts too much to stay
I have great disdain for the light of the day
Read it both going down
Or by # : 1-1, 2-2, 3-3, and so on… leave 7 for last
