"Blackout"
A Song by Yanea Nakanishi

~~~~~

Nothing hurts
Like the truth hurts
And when it just hurts
Too bad
I just hide
Can't help but hide
To make the truth hide
To keep from going mad

It's a Blackout
I don't want to have to see
And when the light can't show it all
All I have to do is be
In a Blackout

In the dark
Embracing dark
The picture's too dark
To know
It's my way
No other way
I'll go any way
That's easiest to go

It's a Blackout
Nothing can illuminate
I can't see things I don't want to
And I control my own fate
In a Blackout

When the lights are on
I don't see the end of the story I want
When the lights are off
I can tell any tale, put up any front

It's a Blackout
My whole sense of sight is gone
And I like it better this way
So please do not turn it on
In a Blackout

Blackout

Penned by my hand on the 9th of Ero, in the year 370 AF.
