Pretty dark days, lead to calm nights
The louder voices go, the further I wanna go
Where is the button to mute?
My soul and my negativity dispute over me.
Turn the music on.
Silence the outer crowd!
Appeared in a new town
Seems that I’m part of this song.
The melody spoke slowly
Taking my sadness to a night out.
As the volume went down,
The sweetness of the song and the bitterness of myself fought for control.
He’s a light burning low, just like me
I give this weaker light all my strength.
This light has been my happiness and strength
but also the wind that turned my light off.
With a last effort, I departed through some paths
and say bye to the light that kept me alive.
I hold my memories tight.
I’ll see you again, I told him… this was our goodbye.
