It stays in the shadows biding its time and designing its semblance.
Awaiting the silence.
Taking your spirit and leaving your remnants.
Survey your settings.
Frightened by silhouettes reaching for you.
Reject the guidance.
Suffer through it all like it's all brand new.
The signs are clear as day.
The writing's on the wall.
Would you rather be saved or enjoy the fall?
The darkness is cursed with morality.
The end is in sight and you've made your mark.
Just grasp why you've chosen living to loathe the light and love the dark.
And if horizons are out of concern and you refuse this hand, by all means, be discontent.
Be alone.
You'll either swim to the surface or sink like a stone.
There is no silver lining unless you open your heart and your hands.
