Darkness? Shiiiit.

Shiiit

 

Maybe it’s just us

 

Maybe we’re not playing the game right

 

But every time we use the ouija board

 

It spells out

 

“everything is going to be ok”

 

And the spirits smile

 

And the weather aint that bad

 

These demons

 

These spirits

 

This darkness

 

I don’t know man

 

Lately our resilience

 

Seems to overshadow

 

The Shadows

 

See,

 

When it gets dark

 

We teach ourselves echo vision

 

And use our beating hearts for flashlights

 

Or, or

 

We reincarnate with night goggles

 

Perfect lighting

 

For messages in bottle rockets to the moon

 

When it gets dark

 

We dream under Zodiacal light

 

Writing sonnets

 

On supernovas

 

And shooting stars

 

On less inspired days

 

We wait for evil to combust…

 

Spontaneously

 

And light a torch

 

When it gets dark

 

When they toss us in black vines

 

And black flames

 

We’ll shoot out smoke signals

 

To our soul mates

 

When it gets dark

 

We turn on the **** lights
