Shining Shade

All I Did Was Exist

Those hidden in darkness must face the light

Simply for our preference to not go blind

Say what you want, but I didn’t start this fight

//

Such a calm canvas when none of it’s white

Perfect atmosphere to relax one’s mind

Those hidden in darkness must face the light

//

I’ve done nothing at all this entire night

But be silent and keep to my own mind

Say what you want, but I didn’t start this fight

//

A void, yes, but it could let me take flight

Maybe, if it wasn’t so poorly defined

Those hidden in darkness must face the light

//

I did nothing wrong till you chose to bite

Into my space, and then throw out the rind

Say what you want, but I didn’t start this fight

//

Leave me be to think of something to write

If you attack me, I’ll do so in kind

Those hidden in darkness must face the light

Say what you want, but I didn’t start this fight
