Transparent Night
I stared in the sky at a silent night
All i could hear was the sound of crickets
Yet still, it is a silent night
I thought to myself how one can fight,
Resist, or miss being awake at such time
One would be fool if he fight
The night was so calm, so dark, so cold
But who is so bold, to stay awake at night
And face all those thoughts
The thoughts of a weary day, thoughts of
A weary life, a tiresome existence
Those thoughts come only at night
How cold is the night, how cold are people
They see only day and sleep all the night
How dare they miss the untroubled night
Their day is my night, i sleep in daylight
Eyes wide open, they can't see I'm dozing
Their night is my day, for it's the only way
For me to live unseen
