Closest Friends Conspire - Autumn

Sometimes darkness is my sole companion

And the shadows seem my closest friends

Immersed in pitch black contemplations

I shy away from the slightest hint of sunshine

But doubt is never far away

And fear is never closer

A hint of irony cannot help

But course through my veins

How to recognize the signals

The features of dishonesty

The eye of the tornado

In the eyes of our companions?

Like serpents in the shadows, my closest friends conspire

There’s simply no way of telling

In which shadow you might bind me

There’s no predicting

Which of your hopes will eventually blind me

When doubt is never far away

And fear is never closer

A hint of irony at play

Coursing through my veins

Like serpents in the shadows

My closest friends conspire
