Lights

Lights

 

\"Turn them on!\"

\"And let me see!\"

\"Out of this darkness

I wish to be.\"

 

Finished with sleep,

Finished with lies,

I just wanted

to be alive.

 

Opened my eyes,

I could not believe,

No one was there

to comfort me.

 

\"Cut them off!\"

\"Bring back the night!\"

\"I no longer want this

Gift of sight!\"

 

You turned them on,

And let me see,

But the shadows were there

to comfort me.

 

I crawled back, 

back into my hole,

Left to live with my

Aching soul.
