Staying Quiet

On a more aesthetical level

Some might also take issue with the fact that the sky would

Apart from extraordinary sunset

Forever be grey

In the moment when December hit

I knew I wasn't going back

I love the hour between the sunburn craze

Until every home is eaten by the plastic candle sale

I didn't want to be there

December hit me like a spiral stair

In just a flash you're no longer there

I love the way your heart is faster than your mind

And how its voice is so ironically unkind

I didn't want to be there

I'm not insulted by the warning signs

I'm not above it all but even traffic lights

Are screaming

Go, my child, and leave these palaces behind

Snow sets featherlight

The way is there to find

No more staying quiet

I miss my day and night

So I refuse to let December lie

To let them drain the colors

(I need a world in color)

I know it's evil of a lesser kind

But so what?

The heart is faster than the mind

It didn't want to see the end yet

I'm not insulted by the warning signs

I'd give it all away rather than standing by

They're saying "Go, my child

Don't let these men repaint the sky

Snow sets featherlight

Say you’re on my side

No more staying quiet

I miss my day and night

Some say

If the only way to go is forward

I'll go last

I know it's over, but I cannot see it

No more staying quiet

I miss my day and night

I miss my day and night

I need my day and night
