Words

All the things I shouldn't say were laying on the ground. Right where you could see them; they'd simply fallen out. Like a waterfall of devastation, an avalanche of nouns, and verbs held in designation withered in the now. I saw your eyes, they filled with tears, your mouth, it trembled now. And I knew that I had found your fear, and promptly coaxed it out. I told you I was dangerous, a fire in the night. That despite the realms of darkness, I always sought the light. So now we stand in purgatory, not quite sure how to move: light, and love, and hope, and glory... they all feel like old news. Hold on to me, dear lover, I'm sorry for my flaws. I'm not the type to calm the waters, but I can reduce the floods. Forgive me for my reckless ways, the words that tumble down. For I never meant to hurt you, not then and still not now. 

Light

Pardon the intrusion
all innocence aside
They created an illusion
where we could all reside

In equality and justice
in peace and hope and love
then they snuck in late
behind us
and cut the power cord

Out to lights of liberty
of freedom
lights of life
out to hopes of anything
that saves us from the night

In comes all the darkness
where fear and hate are born
In comes all the demons
that will steal your soul by storm

Oh, don't you worry
we matter not today
we should have seen this furry
from not so far away

it rippled underneath us
quite but still near
and when the vale fell
it's path was made quite clear

But, we won't run
no, we will stand and fight
for, the thing that destroys darkness
well, it is always light

So let us stand togther
let us show them we are strong
that nothing will defeat us
the hate will not live on
