Dark Realities

Darkness rules over day and night It takes the form of buildings, where nobody can see the sun rise again Denizens of the shadows wear suits and horns to demonstrate their power Look at the floating boards and tell me you're not hypnotized and held spellbound to illusory joy They're only friends are paper and we're their toys Mastery of bending light is their special power like an insect attracted to an electrical lantern When you hear their attempts to tempt you, I'll cover your ears Put on these sunglasses, look very closely to where I'm pointing Over there, is proof that light still exists
