The night keeps me awake
Staring through the ceiling
To a dark sky forever kneeling
I’m so far from so much
I’m so close to myself
I hear a voice
Not my own
Not in my own home
Though right now I’m alone
I ask it, where am I now?
Falling in the universe
Laying to gravity
Flying to the heavens
Asking to be let in
Time ticks seconds into daylight
Waking and never sleeping
Speaking and never seeing
Living and always dreaming
Selfish to a sunlit sky
Humbled by a weakness one can’t deny
Surrounded by so many faces
Only a day could wake them
And bring them back to the same night of all places
I move so far
Under the same ceiling
The one I look to
To the stars
I hear a voice
And I’m alone
