From Light To Night
Velvet touch or satin silk, maybe satin smooth
Silver bears a hint of glow, the dark side of the moon
Captured, caught or taken
Resolved to quit, or fold
Whichever words we chose to take
Irregardless were taken hold
Defy, defend, defiant
Submitting, surreal, succumb
Have you ever noticed how it just does not matter
If you're to be darkened then darkness already has won
Sinking, falling, lost
Arising, returning, known
From light to night, to knowledge
I thought I knew more of me than you'd ever know
Captured, held and blinded
To release, caress and sight
To truly understand living
Don't be frightened to let go of life.
