Of Dusty Days and Gloomy Nights

Don't come out little baby,
Stay in your mother's womb.
The world is dark and scary,
For honesty there is no room.

Chaos and turmoil reside here,
Mayhem is the king.
You will find clouds of hatred,
Depression is what they will bring.

There are no colours out here,
Life is white and black.
You'll meet people you're loyal to
And they'll stab you in the back.

Don't step outside just yet, child
You're not ruined and bruised enough.
You have to be messed up and twisted,
You have to be rough and tough.

It's time to learn some gestures,
To pile tricks up your sleeve.
Lie your way through problems,
The truth, no one will believe.

Don't be so hardworking, my darling.
Labour won't get you on top
You have to be shy and cunning
You'll get hurt, please stop.

Stay hidden behind closed doors,
Or monsters will hunt you down.
It's a dangerous circus out there,
And you'll be made the clown.

Don't look outside the window,
Night is grayer than day,
Close your eyes and go to sleep,
Let dreams carry you away.

Stay cuddled in that bud of yours,
Dear flower, please don't bloom.
You'll be trampled and stepped over,
For innocence, there is no room.
