It’s at night that it occurs to me
that I could live
That I could do what I like
That I could be

It’s at day that my brain just feels
Tired and alone
Spaced out in a dream
Of nothingness

At night it wakes and wants to dance
The skin starts to glow
The eyes start to sparkle
The heart starts to fly
The body starts to vibrate

It’s the day that drowns it out
Just numbness of the body
Eyes unfocused
Ears and nose not active
Mouth as heavy as stone

But at night it’s alive
And everything is light
The pressure’s off
The curtain calls
I could live - I am alive
