***i struggled at which section this would belong to, but decided it told a story more than being a song
Night
TSun
TSun
(Verse 1)
Tired, i quickly crossed the red lights,
it was ten fifty three, young was the night,
i grabbed my mp3, tuned myself to a peaceful song,
i sat myself down at the train station bench,
thick was that night's mist, like cigar ashes that've been flung,
dark was that night, the sparrows had already finished their song,
a light flickered in the distance,
no signs of life, that path was too long,
i questioned the arrival of the train,
has tonight's service not been prolonged?
just then, a shrill scream in the far abyss
alarmed, i snapped off my earphones and
listened to see if the scream persists
abruptly, a set of footsteps broke through the dark,
a young lady rushed into view, out of breath
what escape had she just embarked?
she sped past me, and i followed,
just to catch her by the shoulder, she turned
slowly, her face was of horror and her eyes widened,
she was terror striken, and she bellowed
staring past me, the words "GO AWAY",
carved into my memory even till this day,
cas when i turned to see what was behind...
(Chorus)
Night, if it catches you by the hand,
rip away before it swallows you, there is no end,
it will find you and isolate you,
corrupt you and tear you apart, how can you defend?
TSun
(Verse 2)
Enraged, i stumble to the bus stop,
working late was never my liking,
if some drunk idiot forgot his shift, why must i top?
took a look at my watch, already twenty past one,
i swore, waiting for the bus was the least fun,
tonight's mist was must've weighed a ton,
nothin' but a streetlight that shone above me,
the darkest hour of the night had only begun,
then a rumble of wheels penetrated the mist,
the long awaited bus broke through the abyss,
as i walked up to pay for my fare,
a cold silence rung through the bus,
perhaps it was a new one i thought,
that didnt creak under the mounds of rust,
as i sat down and grabbed yesterday's news,
no one else was present, and soon i began to lose trust,
soon after we departed, the lights began to dim,
a sudden weight seemed to have grasped the bus' rims,
and the lights blanked out, the driver called for help,
he talked on the receiver with assistance on the other end,
i began to panic but tried not to show it, thus i pretend,
all of a sudden, the driver fell off his seat,
knocked out by a force that i could not see,
and a voice came through the receiver,
"La nuit dure aujourd'hui"... (today, the night is long...)
(Chorus)
