Stars

I’ll never know why people fear the night Why fear something so beautiful and fine? The darkness gives me more than can the light. People rely too much on eyes and sight I’ve learned that I can’t put much trust in mine. I’ll never know why people fear the night. Why talk things through, when you can yell and fight? Store up my blood and set in on a shrine. The darkness gives me more than can the light. I watch the world from cold and weary height, And feel the liquid, diamond stars align. I’ll never know why people fear the night. I think on death, and dream of warmth and flight. I don’t trust words or masks- show me a sign. The darkness gives me more than can the light. Not everything that’s pure and good is white. My throat is blocked by shining, silver twine. I’ll never know why people fear the night. The darkness gives me more than can the light.
