Didn't mean to wake you up
in the middle of the day
taking a moonlight nap
on a bright and sunny day
strolling though the streets
of loneliness
haven't ever seen a face
that carries a smile
they are dark blue faces
of long lost hope and miseries
a baby tries to smile
unaware of life as it is
his parents tell him no
there is no reason to smile
no need to strain you muscles
your smile is much too bright
bringing joy to everyone
forgetting the past
the sins and all the sorrow
your time will come my boy
where you will know it too
don't ask me to explain you why
it's much to late now
you shouldn't be out now
go back inside
before the sunshine hits you
hide behind a curtain
black as the clouds of my mind
peek through to see
if that horrible light is gone
we live our lives as lycanthropes
unaware of good and happiness
sneak out at night
making sure
that only the moon
will shine down on us
his sad green cheese
can light up our faces
and our teeth
