quiet

midnight
lock all the doors
and turn out the lights
feels like the end of the world
this sunday night

there's not a sound
outside the snow's coming down
and somehow i can't seem to find
the quiet inside my mind

3:02 the space in this room
has turned on me
and all of my fears have cornered me here
just me and my tv screen

the volumes down
blue lights are dancing around
and still i can't seem to find
the quiet inside my mind

am i the last one awake in this town
would it serve me well
knowing that my lights the only one on
the only one on in my street

daylight is climbing the walls
cars start and feet walk the halls
the world awakes and now i am safe
at least by the light of day

I was enjoying your poetry, until I realized that those are the words to the song :)
