Shutdown

Shutdown

I don’t shut my door all the way

In turn I hope the morning will bring

A better fight and a turn of slights

Curse the dark with rays that ring

I don’t shut my mouth by the way

And I’d rather take that to my grave

So my words flow straight and slow

Into the ears of a dumb escape

I don’t shut down at night the same

While attempting to dream up a sky

Where the sun gives into night

Well within my defied twilight
