Title: Dark Orange
Verse 1
It’s late at night, I’m alone in my room,
Staring at the screen, lost in the gloom.
Watching silly videos, wasting my time,
I’m tired, but the caffeine keeps me in line.
A haunting song plays on repeat,
Wishing someone would invite me to a party, just to retreat.
But no one calls, I’m stuck in this space,
Jotting down my thoughts, trying to find my place.
Can’t think too much, or I’ll drown in the blue,
The silence creeps in, and I feel it too.
Chorus
Sometimes I think I could be so happy,
Then I overthink, and it all feels so tacky.
Sometimes I think I should just go to sleep,
But the thoughts keep me up, and the night feels so deep.
Verse 2
Which of my dreams should I bring to the light?
So many choices, but I can’t decide right.
Procrastination’s a thief, stealing my drive,
Pour another cup of night coffee, just to survive.
I don’t want to sleep; I’m bursting with plans,
But instead of creating, I’m lost in the sounds.
Hours slip away, so many sketches undone,
Nothing feels right, and I’m back to square one.
Crumpling the paper, tearing pages apart,
While the best of my visions fade out of my thoughts.
Verse 3
I love to walk through the city at night,
Admiring the darkness, no person in sight.
The quiet surrounds me, the streets are so bare,
While everyone’s sleeping, I breathe in the air.
I capture the shadows with my camera’s gaze,
Defying the darkness, finding light in this space.
The atmosphere surrounds, it’s perfect and clear,
It’s almost like magic, it’s all that I hear.
Walking a dark path through nothing but black,
Just a few glowing spots, guiding me back.
A cat crosses my way, I give it a pet,
Its purring’s the highlight, I’ll never forget.
Verse 4
Heading back home, back to my room,
Alone with my laptop, surrounded by gloom.
A spider crawls by, daring to creep,
I carry it outside, while the world’s fast asleep.
How long must I struggle, how long will it take,
To break this cycle of things that just break?
How many lonely nights will I have to endure,
Till I find satisfaction, till I feel secure?
How many more paintings must I try to create,
Before I express what I truly relate?
How many more lyrics will I write in the dark,
How many more songs will ignite that spark?
How many cups of coffee must I drink to unwind,
To lay down at night, with peace in my mind?
Verse 5
I savor a piece of the darkest chocolate I could find,
It’s as deep as the night, with a bittersweet bind.
I search for some sweetness, yet the bitterness stays,
Heavy on my tongue, like the past in a haze.
A single bite is enough to draw you in,
Enough to stir the night within.
I turn on the nightlight, an old bulb’s soft glow,
Inefficient like me, but it shines through the low.
It lights up the darkness until morning’s grace,
A picture tells more than a thousand words can,
But I’d choose to write a thousand, instead of painting a canvas
I trace the reflections of moments long gone,
In the stillness of night, where my thoughts linger on
