When darkness takes over
it comes out to play
Shadows prancing through the night
crackling fires around the site
Dancing until it dances no more
then silence
not a sound
then once again

Marked by failure
Lost my path
My direction in life
Has turned to ash

Can’t find my way back
But I’ll keep on trying
And when I fail
I know, and you know that

I’ll try again

At midnight, half asleep yet still awake
Can’t seem to find myself
All alone lying on my bed
Wondering why I can’t seem to remember

Wondering why I can’t see
