The Crow In the Night
I was at the bar tonight – I’m sorry, father
I am the crow of the night, so don’t bother,
Releasing me, for I have wings of flight already
I bore these scars for far too long…the stars are my confetti…
I’m feeling lonely tonight
I’m not that bright, alright?
I’m swimming in my emptiness
I’m flying too high into this mess
The tablet and I are in love again…love again…
Technology has taken advantaged of me
Then again, it makes me feel good and then…
Someone has to bully me online…you see?
I have been in so many bars
To try to thrill me in many ways…many ways
In His eyes, I am like a billion stars
I’m just going through one of those days
I must rise above the waters of woe
I must drive out the lies of your goodbyes
I am that lonesome crow, you know?
Change is a challenging chore…yeah, no lies…
I am restless and can’t seem to shut my mind down
I am confident that tomorrow will lift up my frown
Grieve not, love of mine, for I am no longer sad
Leave not, darling angel, for I am no longer mad
I am the silence amongst crowds
I am the leather amongst your loads
Your laundry pile makes me smile
Because my own is less than style
I believe there are brighter days out there
I am the introvert amongst extroverts
Tear away the sorrow from within oh so bear
Comfort me in the shadows…it hurts…
I’m soaring too low in my slight distress
I’m ascending from my sheer emptiness
I’m feeling no longer lonely tonight
Will you be my one and only friend?
You shed some light upon my night
Will you be my best friend till the end?
I’m descending from my horrifying fears
I’m rising above the ashes of our nightmares
