Deep Dark Night - Ian Foster

There are no stars

In the deep dark night

Just the fluorescent glow

Of man-made light

Where all our fears

Stand cold and stark

As the only ones

Who can see in the dark

I’ve always known this

Though I’ve been blind for miles and miles

I’ve always known this

Still looking for your smile

There is no heart

In the deep dark night

It has been given up

For teeth that bite

They leave a scar

Upon your skin

That christens you

Even as you enter in

We’ve always known this

Though we’ve been blinded for so long

We’ve always known this

Trying to stay strong

Mornings and mirrors show you who you are

You close your eyes and wait for the sun to arc…

There are no stars

In the deep dark night

It’s not who you are

But who you might be

There are no stars

In the deep dark night

This is not who we are

But who we might be
