I have made welcome to darkness
when the light's focused in too tight
and said hello as if to a friend
when I should have picked a fight

Darkness with blues is
different than darkness shared
the blue tones will make you lonely
and lonely leaves you scared

Right at the edge of consciousness
black meets flickering red
of fires in the ruins
and a truth is left unsaid

We are all sparks in the darkness
and there is the oncoming night
fool that I am I want to touch your wings
and try to make some light

Many of us live in a fog
the wire wizards made
sucking up a string of electrons
from the screen where they are sprayed

Darkness with blues is
different than darkness shared
the blue tones will make you lonely
and lonely leaves you scared
some of us wind up in shadow
some of us wind up in shade
