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
