it comforts you,
the gentle caress of the yellows and whites,
like reading in the sun.
"Turn off the light"
it's a good book too,
you don't even remember falling asleep.

dreams of electric light,
the restlessness: flashing and falling,
who's there?
"Turn off the light"
but... it's so sweet.
cold and lonely in bitter darkness.

nightmares today rival those from before,
but they now only come while the light is on.

When night taught you to let light talk	A Place Of Dreams And Magic	Hitler as a great man	Nothing can stop me now

Falling	silence them by numbers	Please don't force your beliefs on me	Afraid of the Dark
