Nighttime

you´re blowing candles once again
this house remains in silence now
and cool the sounds,
taking control of your mind
comfortable somehow


you hear them breathing, deep puffs
echoing through all this scene
and here you lie with eyes wide open
while sweetest gloom
throbs through your veins
depression once again awoken


wishing yourself away sometimes
but yet you´re staying here
and moonlight shines the only light
so many longings on your mind


unuttered phantasies are your best friend
when being awake til late at night
this shell´s like chains sometimes
breaking out, it seems alright
but only in this darkened light


and daytime enteres once again
you play this role that fits so well
but don´t know who you are no more
when being the one they want you to be
hurting nobody is the sacred goal
still sadness touches you to the core


wishing yourself away sometimes
but yet you´re staying here
and moonlight shines the only light
so many longings on your mind
