Painting Alone in the Night

Each candle of the night
Burns violently
With a passion
You've only ever heard of
In stories and tales
Of lives not belonging to you

Under the stars
Do you feel that peace?
The blank canvas of the empty head
That vast darkness overtakes you
And hides your playful sins

The stars paint you a picture
Paintings filled with lust and greed
Black and white
Simple and clean
Silent giggles and quick fingers
You're alone now

Who do you belong to?
Who is it that guides your hand?
Fuels your desire?
You act on impulse or
A false hope of acceptance
Alone in your night sky

The everlasting depth
The infinite calm
Entrances you and your reasons
In your happy existence
A naked soul
