beware of darkness

watch out

now

take care

beware of fallen singers

dropping all around you

the pain that often mingles

in your fingertips

beware of darkness

watch out

now

take care and beware of thoughts that linger

winding up inside you're head

the hopelessness around you

in the dead of night

beware of darkness

it can hit you

it can hurt you

make you sore and what is more

that is not what you are here for

watch out

now

take care and beware of softshoe shufflers

dancing down the sideboards

as each unconscious sufferer

wanders aimlessly

beware of darkness

watch out

now

take care and beware of greedy leaders

they take you where you should not go

while weeping at the cedars

they just won't grow

beware of darkness
