why night, why night be blamed for shameful acts
and day not yet be accused
when even in the presence of light
can horride crimes be rouged

For the absence of light
just give reason to those, the weak, to be excused
“Blinded by the night” the unwillful do so falsely accuse

How did night rob thee of thy sight
did it steal away during the so called “ beauitful” day
or come while you were sleeping
and in your bed with you lay to make sure your not peeking

Do not look at peaceful night
with such restless eyes and blame it for your troubles
for day with come and mock you with its endless light
reducing you to rumble

Than will you call once more upon the night, to which you did first blame
to sooth you and restore your stolen sight, in which you first did claim.

Night.

barracks barraged, what a flawed fortress to put faith in, inevitability rhymes with popularity, and i'm sure there's good reason for that..

studio flyers are no more than casually enlisted, and i can't help but think about partisans of the e[x] amount when leaving from the wh[y] location..

coincidences like these don't fool anyone except everyone, minus the ones they hurt, and that's about as comforting as a rabbit's foot..



so in a retrospective study, one may notice that the quickest way to descend his or her way to the top is called cloud-diving, and apparently - i certainly wouldn't know for sure - clouds now come in seventeen thousand new shades of insecurity, choose your favorite, princess.. /it'll be fun and you know it/..



i've found out why there are twelve months in the year, and i don't plan to tell anyone

i've found a beautiful pattern in my stock-market brand protector sheets, and i plan to show everyone



because i know what happens when things like this hit public, and i know how that makes me feel

more or less, anyway

because i know what happens when things like this blow kisses, and i know how it pinches me

for the most part, i must say

for the most part, i miss that day

for the most part, for the most part

for the most part, the most part's really little in excess of the least part



and for the most part, the least part is me

and for the most part, we're par.
