Hey you there

It's not just me in here
Oh how I wish you could hear the coconspirator
Or see in a single tear how loud the fear of fear truly can be
And how I'm so rarely allowed to steer

I AM a dark passenger, MY dark passenger
A near prison like constricting atmosphere with no breathing apparatus gear
Life can be so impossibly cavalier
Death is always closer than it should ever appear, regardless of the mirror

In my story I have the glory of a lone fourth musketeer
With a crowded asylum between each ear
So many questions but not a single agreed upon answer will appear
And I've yet to meet this so called infallible puppeteer

Though the hierarchy is clear, it passes through an auctioneer
"Punish thee if thy finds I should ever veer from thy holy 'engineer'"
Hell, they can stay put like a headlight frozen deer
I'd rather be allowed to be the one to disappear

I did not ask to be here

There is a rain, but ain't no sunshine,
a lot of clouds and darker everywhere,
but you are here, yes you are mine
in every day, when I can see you here.

You are my day, you are my night,
you are my sunshine, you are my moon,
when it is dark, you are my light,
if you ´re not here, I´ll see you soon.

You give me beauty, but never give me tears,
I am so happy every day, my love,
you take my sorrow, send away my fears,
that all the worries will forever gone.

You are my day, you are my night,
you are my sunshine, you are my moon,
when it is dark, you are my light,
if you ´re not here, I´ll see you soon.

In every day I see the sunshine in youre eyes,
I try to do my best to keep it every day,
and every time, when I see you cry,
you know I´m here for you in every way.
