It's A Trap Door

(album: Dear Darkness - 2022)

It was a beautiful night
But it was strange
I told you "the stars are all that's left
Now we can shine away"
You made me open my eyes
It was three in the day
There was too much to see for the likes of me
Oh won't you give me the night back
I want the night back oh pretty please

Such a beautiful storm
In the gateway that night
From the side door to the dorm
I howled away in the moonlight
A hush from your eyes
All you had to say
Got most of the air that was left in me
But I got the night back
Now I want the life back oh pretty please

Like the sun all sunken here in my backyard
You were only getting better then you just went dark
You'll be back come morning
When the haze burns off

Oh, can't you see that it's a damn trap door?
And I ain't standing on it anymore
Like a tool used up until the fool said
I gotta wise up

Now it's time to wise up, up, up, up, up, up
Yeah, I gotta wise up, up, up, up, up, up
