symbiosis

it's two a.m.
the whiskey screams
it wants escape
not now

the world around me sleeps
i stir
i am the night
i breathe
i am the night

insistent fervor
keeps my head on straight
contrast the daylight ahead
the balance remains
symbiosis of me

i live
to learn
and see
there's more that i can know

i dream
to be
awake
i lose the time

inside
outside
on every path i take

i am
the night
symbiosis i call me
