When the sun goes down
And the lopsided moon peeps
From between two clouds
Shaped not unlike death’s head
I am awake.
When the sun comes up
And too much bright light
My eyes are blind
Open but not seeing
I sleep.
They call me a night owl
They call me a vampire
I can feel but not see
Night’s cool day’s too hot
What am I?
Trudging on my way home
But got no place to call my own
Trying to walk the straight road
It gets so winding I don’t know
If I am still going to the place
Which I call home
See the bright light yonder?
That’s where I used to live
That’s where I had a life
My tears and my happiness
My family and friends
All things I have now lost
You don’t want to listen
You don’t want to know
The desperation in my eyes
The quiet desperation in my walk
All I lost is my own family
All I gained is a cruel God.
Is it worth getting a cruel God
When I lose my little sister, mom and dad?
Is it worth looking for him
When he took them away from me?
I don’t know the answers
I am going on the path to my so called home
Yes, I have gained some friends
But can they replace my sweetie pie sis?
I don’t know why
My heart hurts with desperation
As I walk on the road
Towards the place I call home.
Sitting in a corner, a lonely girl
or it seems lonely looking at her
Do you have friends who care for you?
Do you need someone you can lean onto?
So many questions I would love to ask
So many answers that can come from the heart
Hey girl, I knew you were sensitive
Hey girl, I knew you were a great friend to me
But what saddens you out of the blue
Is it me or someone new?
So many questions I would love to ask
So many answers that can come from the heart
I know you have so many friends
I know you are the sweetheart for so many
Did someone hurt you bad?
why dont you smile like the way you do?
So many questions I would love to ask
So many answers that can come from the heart
Hey girl, dont brood like a mother hen
Hey girl, dont you know you have many a friend?
So girl, do you have the answers
The answers for my questions?
So many questions I would love to ask
So many answers that can come from the heart
This one’s for you K.
Kitty, just lick your fur to keep you dirty
and start making shiny look grimy
say, isnt that your lifestyle?
looking for the stars on a sunny day
Isnt that what you were trying to run away from?
the truth that hurts and the lies that succour
thinking you are farsighted when the truth is
you cant find anything with those thick glasses.
Time you stopped being a star girl
yeah not in one of your dreams
the sky is crowded with stars like you
you are just one in a trillion trillion that meets the eye
Try something new for a blessed change
Life aint like this when you try to look through glass
Try the window for a start
And then look at the stars
Maybe you will find out one fine day
That life is not wishful thinking
Kitty, your fur’s getting wet
You look good enough in that dress
You dont have to look cleaner than you are
Its the mind that needs to be fresh
