When the Sun Is Dreaming Quietly - Coldburn

The lights go out

The city sleeps tonight

The sound of silence, feel walls whispering loud

I admire you when the sun is dreaming quietly

Streetlights let the awkward shine bright

Shadows running fast, frightened to get punished from the light

I’m not afraid of the sun but i don’t like how you change

By the end of the night — with the start of dawn

In the daylight faces look so bright

Plastic smile!

I do not fit in living a hollow life

Sharing this place by day with these judging eyes

Dead lanterns bring back to mind —

Feeling home in the street lights

I walk relentless through my play

You’re the stage: a cold and calm paradise

My potential escape into the life

Cause no one can take away your stories

No one can steal these memories

You talk to me, still by my side

One steady fellow through the night

So i don’t even care

Your words and hands can’t tie me down

I can stand the times of pain

The scars I earn, the names I own

The dirty things I smell foremost

The city writes its stories down

The memories are mine
