Night Sky

This piece of writing is poem arranged into song lyrics. My inspiration for these lyrics came from the time when I was living in a rough neighborhood in the city, walking around at night.

When darkness falls

the universe begins to stall

and everybody crawls out

to enjoy the brawl

not the external kind 

but of the internal eternal 

struggle between the villainous 

and the heroic where no zeros 

can comprehend this burden 

of the mind where everyone

thinks you're Tyler Durden but in reality

the quest in your life is inner 

peace and resolution to all 

of life's mysteries

The Stars shine bright tonight 

illuminating my soul they take me

to new heights and now I'll

never come back

Now for a brief pause 

and take a moment to consider

all of the possibilities this young 

mind can achieve under duress 

this distress beacon 

for the weak and downtrodden 

will never reach my good half

for the villain in me 

is the hero we deserved 

but never needed 

condemnation is my salvation 

progress is my stagnation 

the paths of life 

are all illusions 

in our minds

The stars shine bright tonight 

illuminating my soul they take 

me to new heights and now I'll never come back

One. Two. Three. Four.

the clock strikes 12 and 

a new day has begun

Five. Six. Seven. Eight.

it's time to bring out the blades

Nine. Ten. Eleven. Twelve.

No time to dwell on the past

The stars shine bright tonight

illuminating my soul they 

me to new heights and now I'll 

never come back
