Dark Perceptions

As misty glows engulf the evening sky
An awkward silence takes flight 
From those fleeting moments of joy
You see tricks that deceive, tricks of sleight

The lights are bright and they're screaming aloud
Forget your thoughts, they can wait it out
Pieces of the jigsaw that won't fit
That's the puzzle, that cloud of doubt

Fantasies, fairytales and those alike
All under the spells of a starry sky
Forgetful and impulsive, blessed carefree
For all you see are tears, but they see tears of joy

Sleeplessly you embrace a hopeful wonder
Searching for patterns where there are none
What's constant isn't change, it's in the mirror
It's the dead of the night, and there's nowhere to run
