Reason has left with someone else

Listen close, then, shift it to the shelf

It smells like rain is coming soon

A muffled sound of thunder startles you, too

Batten down

The wandering winter snow that falls

Like lonely little diamonds heading home to find

Instead of something — nothing

Not a single soul

Swaybacks make their way around the room

When all your dreams are falling through

She’ll say “I told you so”

Light, bright

Shut Down Night

The Beast has come to gloat

Smug and listless, is what this is

Lie low till it’s done

Your hackles are raised

It stories held back hate

And speaks to all the wrong that’s come and gone

Said and done

It’s so lovely the way your skin has raised

To seed and back again

Swaybacks make their way around the room

While you talk too high the list goes on and on and on

With no click three times to send you spinning home

And swaybacks make their way around the room

Light, Bright

Shut Down Night

The Beast has come to gloat

Smug and listless, is what this is

Lie low till it’s done

Your hackles are raised

It stories held back hate

And speaks to all the wrong that’s come and gone

Said and done

And now you see not blue, but red

A toothless shift to dark again

I told you so — she said

A perfect thing that changed your guard

A turnaround that speaks in scars

I told you so

It said

She said

It said
