Night

Search far and wide all night for serenity Take a moment to get back my sanity The tall tales we talk through you talk tough It's all love til all love is all lost It's far fetched at arms length It's all trust We called out for fallout And saw doubt I reached out Just to see if I could get a hand I would rather be with the stars As I sit on my balcony Studied alchemy I think I learned how to turn shit into gold The exchange ain't equivalent though I sit in wonder as scribble my notes Contemplating the contemporary Meaning of quotes From the past in the past I was looking up to past tenses Glass fences barricade all the bad senses I was ass out and the last mentioned It all goes down in the night And all hope all hope drowns in the lights Before you go to bed and your mind takes flight Just take a second look up at the dark in the sky I would sit and fantasize about a way to go I was never told how to get a hold of Or I was never showed how to take control but I guess I'm just a pioneer a privateer in my own right While I'm sitting on this window sill I take notice of the fact that if i dont get a grip on my mental I'll never know exactly who I am And what it ain't And who I'd rather not to be And maybe I can lead by example and weed through the snakes and the leaves from the trees when it all falls down Pay the cost when it's all dark out Through the clouds you can watch it's a different world Gotta flip the shades down for a second Take another look What's in a book I guess the point I'm trying to make You gotta see the dark just to see the little sparks of the light I'm the night sky It all goes down in the night And all hope all hope drowns in the lights Before you go to bed and your mind takes flight Just take a second look up at the dark in the sky
