It is always better when the lights are out
It is always better when the lights are out
I close my eyes and listen to better bards
Over great instrumentation to wind me down
I have no fear they will call my name
And ask me to be kind on demand
Its better when the light is out
I just close my eyes and melt into space
Access the spirit of the universe
Convene with what has been and what will be
Without fearing that you might think I don’t like you
I already told you goodnight,I will miss you
It is always better with the lights out
I don’t fear I am letting myself down
By not doing enough to get into slavery with benefits
I don’t have to pretend its my passion to work to survive
I am free, truly free , I think this is what death might be
This voice tempts me to skip the need to breathe
But fear still holds me back I can’t believe
The dissonance of the body from the spirit
But my point is
Its better when the lights are out
Maybe that is why I keep drinking
To have an excuse not to speak to you
So that I ca’t be bothered, I can’t be
I can’t be cornered to do a single deed
See its better with the lights out
It is always better when the lights are out
