dark night 1

in the dark night of the soul i'm told to go
where all of the dark night's river
flows and grows
it is where the boojums life is led
down the road named ignorance and dred

i happen upon it every once and a while
watching it with it's manufactured smile
lead me down my very own primrose path
while easing me into it's subtly powerful wrath

i am the sucker the one who was born in that minute
sometimes the singer who's melodies' ever so off
or i am the batter who's timing has passed it's limit
or the banker who's forgotton
the difference 'tween spendin and cost

suddenly i know why the darkness is greatfully here
so i can see that i make all of my fears
