Lights Out
Darkness fills this place
The hate covers my heart
When will love return to this place I loved
When will hate leave this place that was adored
Why must we turn them off?
And leave the anger to linger
Why must we turn off the items that shine in this place
To make it brighter
Why must we have hate and anger and pain and suffering?
Why must we turn off the lights to this place that we love?
And let the hatred stay and the play that it lays
Why must we not turn on the light to let it fade away?
And be happy once more
Why?
Why must we have lights out?
