Cold coffee sits beside the glass, the screens go dim and rest I'm resting in this place I call my home, a warm and safe nest I tuned every circuit, lined up every thread with careful hands And though the doubts still whisper soft, I finally understand They take their seats like old companions, sitting by my side Not enemies to fight tonight, but shadows in the tide The world outside is frozen, soft breathing in the dark A gentle anchor holding me, a quiet, reassuring spark I do not fight the dark no more, I let it hold me near They are the shadows teaching me there’s nothing left to fear It's bittersweet, like memories that softly fade away You only find the inner peace when you accept the gray It's gonna be alright, I'm doing fine, I whisper to the night I’m standing in the gentle rain, and everywhere is light Beside the quiet waters, when the surface stays so still I feel the peaceful march of time, the beauty of the hill We build up worlds of logic and the codes that we command Accepting that we're only human, learning where we stand My dear, listen closely, I’ve found peace within the fight I pulled a chair up for the shadows, welcomed in the night A quarter century of journey, all the steps along the way Who knew that even quiet storms could lead to clearer days? I am no saint, just human strength and gentle hope entwined I’m finally at peace with all the grace that I can find I do not fight the dark no more, I let it hold me near They are the shadows teaching me there’s nothing left to fear It's bittersweet, like memories that softly fade away You only find the inner peace when you accept the gray Everything is fine, I say it now, much warmer than before I’m standing in the gentle rain, at peace forevermore The shadows fade away in peace... until tomorrow's light. Flipping off the switch. Goodnight.
