When Darkness Dreams
When Darkness Dreams
When the lights go out
Feel free to cry,
Give your darkest shout
And live, or die
Because no one can see you,
A face with no name,
Look up, lights out
We live with the shame
To be consumed by ink
And burned by sadness,
Don’t look at the Dream,
Who thinks it’s all madness
We eat our tongue, our eyes
Unwilling to bow to such lies,
And stubborn, so stubborn—
Just silence the cries
Here’s to the cowards,
The “lost-ones” too,
Who tried and failed
To look up at you
We bow our heads, heroes,
Because there is no safety-net,
Look down, lights on,
We look to forget.
When the lights go out

And burned by sadness,
Don’t look at the Dream,
