I am calm on the outside but a storm within
Nothing in this life is how it seems

Entire lives are spent in self-deception
Most cannot face the truth that lies within

Alone in the darkness with my demons
I lay in bed as my mind assaults itself

The moon is a wide and glowing eye
It stares down upon me through my window

I turn away from the knowing gaze
And bury my head in my pillow, in darkness

I pray for the coming of the long-off dawn
And dream amidst darkness of a warm embrace

Hurry in your coming, O loving sun
And banish these shadows from my world
