I don’t thirst for the sun when it’s gone and I rest, where the dusk made a nest and my mind fell behind. When the moon rules the light, the soft blue warps my sight, dovish hue burns my skin, lays a veil as a guise. A smooth cutting knife makes a victim of my ties. Tender darkness hides my sins, warms the cold I keep inside Don’t the vultures sleep at night? Prowl in circles, aim my chest, the kind of dead flesh they digest. Is it wrong that I’m not scared? In the dark I close both eyes, let them guide me while I’m blind. I don’t wish to follow dreams since the sun has left the sky.

Another night
I don’t thirst for the sun when it’s gone and I rest, where the dusk made a nest and my mind fell behind. When the moon rules the light, the soft blue warps my sight, dovish hue burns my skin, lays a veil as a guise. A smooth cutting knife makes a victim of my ties. Tender darkness hides my sins, warms the cold I keep inside Don’t the vultures sleep at night? Prowl in circles, aim my chest, the kind of dead flesh they digest. Is it wrong that I’m not scared? In the dark I close both eyes, let them guide me while I’m blind. I don’t wish to follow dreams since the sun has left the sky.
