The darkness is where my soul enjoys The quiet pleasures of solitude The darkness is where I hide my voice Not needing an ounce of fortitude
The darkness is where I can sing, dance With all freedom to say what I want! The darkness is where I'm out of trance, From the cycle that light does to haunt.
The light is where all my fears had grown; Such brightness that I could not hide. The light is where my failures, exposed. Mocked me and persuaded me to die.
The light is where I see all faces, That want me gone somewhere far away; The light is where my grief replaces, And my joy won't see the light of day!
I can not move, I can not just speak, So freely, for they will judge me then. In the light is where I feel so weak, And I long for the darkness again!
I can not hide my face in the light, I can only hearken their laughter! And so I cling to the starless night, And stay in the darkness, forever.
