The Night Circus

After dark I feel The need to be awake In the forbidden world The world that shows Me my mirror Of hope, despair, glory A true story After dark civilization goes to bed Primitiveness reigns away The ugly looks beautiful And all are in unison Riches and rags Virgin to whore We all go through The same door After dark the sun retires The moon prevails With a thousand blind eyes One sees it all One hears it all Tomorrow? Denial After dark sounds sound Sounder Louder Sharper The dark darkness Brighter After dark emptiness befriends Intoxicating booze Lighter spirit Gently infused Bottled up emotions The bottle helps … To confess
