Cry to the Night

My eyes sparkle in the sun
My laugh dances in the wind
My smile is infectious
My stride, confident
I'm on top of the world
Life is a dream
But then comes the nightmare
Then come the tears
I cry to the night
My world is upside down
The light of the moon
Uncovers the truth
I cry to the night
My thoughts swirl
My fears collide
My screams are silenced
There is no one here
No one to hold me
No one to save me
I cry to the night
A moment of stillness
Before I fall into the darkness
I see nothing
But there are screams in the distance
Screams of sorrow
Screams of pain
Screams from the world
That are silenced by sunrise
I cry to the night
I cry for someone
I cry or anyone
I cry for help
I cry for an existence
That will never come
By day, life is in the air
A life I love
I'm not sad
I'm not afraid
I'm not alone
Life is a dream
But the nightmare lingers
For the night is bound to come
I cry to the night
