On this twisted black night there is only silence but for the cold abrasive winds that scream through these chilled limbs I cannot feel Leaving my hair tossed into a mangled craze I no longer see the path that leads me to safety. But then I hear your soft calls break through these prison cell walls. I feel your warmth embrace my fears I reach for your grasp, desperate for security My sweet escape Sweet poetic lullabies you sing to me I listen as the sun rises from your lips The last chilled breeze releases itself among this warmed summers soil I can finally hear the birds sweet song Oh my sweet nightingale, you’ve released me from my cell My soul is saved and a wonderful companion I have made. For my thoughts were the cold impassive night. And this tangled mess I wear because I longed to pry these thoughts out of sight. I no longer hush my pains to the back of my mind. Because I realize now I’m unconfined. And it’s because of you that now I know. But if I knew... that I’d find you I’dev suffered long ago.

Sweet nightingale
On this twisted black night there is only silence but for the cold abrasive winds that scream through these chilled limbs I cannot feel Leaving my hair tossed into a mangled craze I no longer see the path that leads me to safety. But then I hear your soft calls break through these prison cell walls. I feel your warmth embrace my fears I reach for your grasp, desperate for security My sweet escape Sweet poetic lullabies you sing to me I listen as the sun rises from your lips The last chilled breeze releases itself among this warmed summers soil I can finally hear the birds sweet song Oh my sweet nightingale, you’ve released me from my cell My soul is saved and a wonderful companion I have made. For my thoughts were the cold impassive night. And this tangled mess I wear because I longed to pry these thoughts out of sight. I no longer hush my pains to the back of my mind. Because I realize now I’m unconfined. And it’s because of you that now I know. But if I knew... that I’d find you I’dev suffered long ago.
