The Day Was Not Ready for Darkness
By Steve Yungen, Jan. 2025

The day was not ready for darkness    It did not want to forfeit the light
But then the moon made the day a promise  That it would reflect the sun’s light at night

The day thought it over for a moment     And decided to accept the moon’s plan
That night with encroachment of darkness     The moon rose to shine on the land
For several nights the day was happy      Everything was going as planned
But, soon the moon lost  interest      And went hiding at the day’s end

The day was not ready for darkness    When the day was replaced by the night
Without the light there is darkness    And without the darkness there’s light

What has happened, asked the day      Why has the moon neglected the task?
Now, the darkness has taken over       And covers the earth like a mask

“Here I am”, said the moon      As the sun set in the sky.
“I didn’t want to go hiding       But, the sun was blinding my eye”.

“I was hidden by the earth’s shadow        Which will happen every now and then
You see, I will go through phases      Now I’m feeling brighter again”.

I'm too tired to write a proper description, let's see if one shows up later

Lyrics:

Barricade me
I’m feeling very small
Cover my vision
Make it dark from wall to wall

Try my best to feel anything at all 
But most of the time I fall short
So cut me out and glue me back together
If only as a last resort

These blurry weeks have felt so nice
So soothing on my mind
Now I wait for you to roll the dice
Praying you don’t rob me blind

So carelessly 
You throw me around
A rag doll to you is all I am
And we both know you’ll never back down

Try my best to stay on my feet
But the ground just feels so good
You peel me apart and try to reassemble me
But I don’t know if you should

These blurry weeks have felt so nice
So soothing on my mind
Now I wait for you to roll the dice
Praying you don’t rob me blind

So give me one more shock
Make it real good this time
No, I don’t wanna talk
You just wanna hear me say I’m fine
	
Blurry weeks
Soothing on my mind
Roll the, roll the, roll the dice
Please don’t rob me blind

These blurry weeks have felt so nice
So soothing on my mind
Now I wait for you to roll the dice
Praying you don’t rob me blind

Make it real good this time
You just wanna hear me say I’m fine
So let’s just say I am
