Light spills out of the sun,

Making shadows run away,

Bringing happiness to the awaiting day,

There is not much to say,

But hello goodbye a million ways,

Still the night keeps pouring in,

Taking away any reasonable consent,

Happiness awaits, you,

Vivid sparks fly out of the rays,

Igniting the words that make us okay,

Make everything okay,

The water drowns out the noise of guns,

Making you the only one, who sees me,

Crashing in on my life,

Whisper to me in the night,

Tell me everything is alright, alright,

Dusk slips in we wave goodbye,

The happiness shuts off, like a light,

And I know, that this is not alright,

Goodnight, Goodbye.
