beautiful marriage of imagery and theme Isabella.
By beauty and by fear, Along with hunger's tears. By the last of the day's heat, The broken women weep. So take my dying soul. It never felt so old. I thank my enemy For having thought of me. Desires on the shadow of God. Who becomes the last to fall? Hate, in the soul of them all. Do we live, awakened, hoping? Raise your eyes to him, for him. Here it comes, closer, closer. At every hour death seems closer. Long shadows surround me, call me. I feel its hand upon me. I smell its death upon me. And its midnight conquers me. And now – it is me! Carry the old words home And lay them into stone. As hard as the earth, We leave a cold new curse. Unknown words lying Under my speech dying. Where the altar should have been, Can no longer be seen. I'd seen bastions fall, And I pity your war. I seize your thorn And I am known to all whores. I danced in a dream. I did not make a sound. I have seen what I cannot receive. Whispering my given name. Unfurls the fingers of flame. Nameless sons and daughters of sin. Step forward when you hear the bells ring.

Gazing through the window at the world outside Wondering, will Mother Earth survive? Hoping that mankind will stop abusing her, sometime After all there's only just the two of us And here we are still fighting for our lives Watching all of history repeat itself, time after time I'm just a dreamer, I dream my life away I'm just a dreamer, who dreams of better days I watch the sun go down like everyone of us I'm hoping that the dawn will bring a sign A better place for those who will come after us, this time I'm just a dreamer, I dream my life away I'm just a dreamer, who dreams of better days Your higher power maybe God or Jesus Christ It doesn't really matter much to me Without each other's help there ain't no hope for us I'm living in a dream of fantasy If only we could all just find serenity It would be nice if we could live as one When will all this anger, hate and bigotry be gone?

One, two, three If you close the door The night could last forever Leave the sunshine out And say hello to never
All the people are dancing And they're having such fun I wish it could happen to me
But if you close the door I'd never have to see the day again
If you close the door The night could last forever Leave the wine-glass out And drink a toast to never
Oh, someday I know Someone will look into my eyes And say hello You're my very special one
But if you close the door I'd never have to see the day again
Dark party bars, shiny Cadillac cars And the people on subways and trains Looking gray in the rain, As they stand disarrayed Oh, but people look well in the dark
And if you close the door The night could last forever Leave the sunshine out And say hello to never
All the people are dancing And they're having such fun I wish it could happen to me
Cause if you close the door I'd never have to see the day again I'd never have to see the day again, Once more I'd never have to see the day again

You'd love to be so far away It's not a long way to go, it's gonna end in your pain Greet open handed stranger Create the turmoil, you're not sane I want the last one to go to embers will revive, So stay You want to live a life time each and every day You've struggled before, I swear to do it again You've told it before till I, until I'm weakened and sore Seek hallowed land You'd love to see right through my veins The pale reflection tells all, predominations sustain Crawl over land or mountain in Sight the ultimate escape A silhouette subsiding, enticed unable to relate You want to live a lifetime each and every day You've beckoned before, you'll never do it again You've prayed before who are the prayers for Begone the fools that lead me - I need not to know Accept reclining spirit I need to endure You try to live a lifetime each and every day In this short time of promise, you're a memory...
I’m starting to suspect we may have uncovered the need for a new thread...

I've been looking so long at these pictures of you That I almost believe that they're real I've been living so long with my pictures of you That I almost believe that the pictures Are all I can feel Remembering you standing quiet in the rain As I ran to your heart to be near And we kissed as the sky fell in Holding you close How I always held close in your fear Remembering you running soft through the night You were bigger and brighter and wider than snow And we screamed at the make-believe Screamed at the sky And you finally found all your courage To let it all go Remembering you fallen into my arms Crying for the death of your heart You were stone white So delicate Lost in the cold You were always so lost in the dark Remembering you how you used to be Slow drowned You were angels So much more than everything Hold for the last time then slip away quietly Open my eyes But I never see anything If only I'd thought of the right words I could have held on to your heart If only I'd thought of the right words I wouldn't be breaking apart All my pictures of you Looking so long at these pictures of you But I never hold on to your heart Looking so long for the words to be true But always just breaking apart My pictures of you There was nothing in the world That I ever wanted more Than to feel you deep in my heart There was nothing in the world That I ever wanted more Than to never feel the breaking apart All my pictures of you
(( for a dear friend ))

Indeed: lyrics then YouTube link of any song you fancy... And anyone can use the lyrics as a ‘trigger warning’ for songs they may prefer not to listen to!
I have a bee in my bonnet with lights - I hate white bright light, especially looking directly at it. In most of the house, I have strips of lights placed behind furniture, that can be dimmed or set to various colours or a warmer tone.
