In The Night

Carbon Maestro

In my mind

there are dreams so real

nightmares rule my day

I’m a stranger

towards others they

cannot see my pain

Troubled thoughts on my chest

holding this facade

Cast out to the rejects we’ll

curb the order that casts us out as

odd We’re free

when your friends and kin believe

in your true self

bearing hope and health

In the night, we breathe

tucked away in dreams

where bodies can’t hold our souls

Sailing through the storm

stars will lead us home

with this goal, our minds stay whole

Patience has me dreading

their feelings and thoughts

yet I must keep seeking

my rightful place is not fixed like

stars We’re free

when your friends and kin believe

in your true self

bearing hope and health

In the night, we breathe

tucked away in dreams

where bodies can’t hold our souls

Sailing through the storm

stars will lead us home

with this goal our minds stay whole
