I shot the boy
whose name i did not know

I looked down
Into the streets
Where peace had once resided
Now torn at the seams
And scarred with the essence of evil

People hide in fear
As their world crumbles
Crashing down before their eyes
Exactly as it seems
And so i closed my eyes

i shot the boy
Whose name i did not know

the summer wind
whispered
her name
as if to set her free
one with the oceanic hymns
a scenic route to paradise
and so she went
away with
the summer wind

we wait in apprehension
victims consternation
of a futuristic image
where love is lost
in the darkness
because the sun no longer shines
down upon the sinners
who fail to shoot the moon
and so we shoot our brothers
without consideration
a evil sense of admiration
we fall
into a world
a beautiful disease
where peace is the cure
that truly can not be found

i wrote u a song
where the beat is like the heart
and the rhythm rolls like the waves
so listen close,
darling,
i sing to you

as darkness coats the sky
and the sun falls
slowly
sweetly
into the parralel of dreams
he kisses the world goodnight
and so he rests
in serenity
chaos oh so calm
a soundless portrait of perfection

i am awake.

ignited by the sense of adventure
my thoughts wrestle within the depth of my mind
emotions shake my soul
and so I go
out into the world
where the dark becomes my oasis
where i am alive
within the night

but not you.

sleeping through time
for you're unaware of what you're missing
the wonder of the night
you fail to explore
the beauty behind the madness

i am alive.

i count the stars
as i conquer the unthinkable
i dance through blackened streets
and if it starts to rain
i laugh
and i dance in the rain
because the night
is where it all began.

i am the night.

i look to you
in times of struggle
of weakness
and despair
i loved you then
i love you now
i'll love you when and where

there comes a point of heartache
when everything seems right
it happens for a reason
even if its not in sight

the future is a mystery
and of this i've learned from you
for the years behind and those to come
it is you who i turn to
