he stands in dark sheep clothing and looks to me, with a sly and becoming smile

come with me, dear friend
take a ride and let us explore to no end

i oblige, and he lends me a hand. he wraps me in his darkness and i feel what i never had before
understood

we travel long and we look wide
but i see nothing but the dark cloak he wears, that has started to
become me

i remain forever tired in his arms, and ask him for a rest
he says don’t sleep now darling, we are about to see the end

so i keep my eyes peeled, and search through the dark
is something here, lurking beyond the mark?

i think, oh this stranger is kind
could he become mine?

and he answers without saying a word,
love, i am forever yours

but soon, the night must end
i’ve sat her for so long, i crave the sun and all i once knew

but he tells me it’s better, to lay in the dark, here we are safe, here no one can hurt us, not ever again

so i stay, i believe him. he loves me and i love him, there’s nothing else really.

as time passes, i wrap myself deeper and deeper into the night
and i feel myself becoming
nothing but a whisper

and he says
it’s better that way
as he always does

and i believe him
as i always do

eventually, there becomes no one to believe
and no one to lie to

as we are now
what we’ve always been
one in the same
