After Dark

from The Last Word by Vertigo Fox

/

lyrics

I'm waiting for the sun to go down
Waiting in the dark
In your shadow
And I'm gonna run
Before you know how I walk
I can see your footprints
I can feel your soul under me
And I'm waiting for the sun to go down
So I can turn away from these
...
Because if this is what you are in the light
Monsters shun you after dark
Do the stars haunt you like they haunt me?
Show you things you can't let me see?

So leave me down here
Leave me darkened, diminshed
I know it's not in your nature to fix what you've finished
Take away my shadow, give me yours
And I won't be your shield anymore
I'm waiting for the sun to go down
As my tail faces home
...
And when it's what I am in the dark
Dragons hunt me from the light
Do the starts haunt you like they haunt me?
They show me things I can't let you see

But I think,
I think you've seen them anyway
And I think,
It's why I'm now stray
Isn't it?

Vertigo Fox enjoys long walks and hikes, though the cats he inevitably encounters always tell him they're prowls. ... more
