Cat eyes

You don’t

You don’t want the dark

In your life

But it’s here, baby.

It’s me.

The black is inside me

Buried here

In this cold dirt

And the light around me

In a strange white

Halo

Doesn’t make me an angel

But it does mean I’ve

climbed higher

than you ever will.

While you

pretend

you know me,

I won’t tell you

where your murky depths are

or why.

Because you look at me

like I’ve done something

Wrong

Wrong

I’ve done plenty wrong

But that tunnel has

a glow

at the end of it

And I met that brightness
With my head up

Proud

If you’ve never seen the
facedown blindness
of night

You can't really appreciate your sight
You think you know what’s right

You can’t fathom evolution.

Growth

You have

never  

been there.

And I won’t let you tell me
as if you have the answer

I’ve known this long.

And all the talk

All the dreams

All the concessions,

All my confessions,

Yes.

I am the puzzle piece.

And you can either fit it together

Or keep it apart

I’m closer to something

Here

Than I’ve ever been.

So go ahead.

Pull the trigger.

But I will never

Never

Never

let anyone

shame me

for nature

again.
And I choose to live in the luminous
now.

But when you get lost

you'll have to call me

Because you see,
I see
better
in the dark
than you do.
