The night toasted darkness
And the shadows set in
Into the deep wilderness
The moon shone again

Behold, for the darkness has its truths
So much deceiving me that I don't know what to do
The anger comes upon me and I try to release it
But instead, in my queasy stomach, an ache in the pit

Circles of memories and reminders flutter about my brain
Coming in double time, pieces falling like rain
I try to speak but I just slam the door
Because the words cannot be spoken anymore

Maybe it's the side of me people take for granted
With a heart like an eggshell and a posture like granite
One false move could send me off this planet
Running from the nonsense and irony that runs so rampant dammit
