Veins

I'm only out at night
I hide from your daylight
My darkness, it sees me
No judgement, a reprieve

Are you gonna be the one who gets to know
All of the forgotten sounds before you go?

They always take so long
To emerge at the dawn
It's rhythmic yet senseless
To suppress blood instinct

Nothing will ever come close to this time
Better capture all the memories in your mind

In the middle world a pulse guides you along
Words that melt into the ocean keep us afloat

Loaning borrowed time
Slowing progress down
When will they wake up?
Too busy above

Listen for the waves
Guiding you to shade
A new world exists
Dread and delight drips
