26,101,418 (Color #1)

It covers our world
but only at night
leaving us blind
and causing a fright

It's caused by the sun but
lays in the shade
as the sun slowly sinks
it grows instead of fade

there is nothing it's missing
as it is said
"it is hated by the living
but loved by the dead"

It holds everything actually
can you see how it stands?
It all stays inside
despite our demands

I speak not of a thing
know that it's a color in fact
It remains all around us
