They always ask me why I don't fear the dark. I never know how to explain that I am the dark. I was not made for daylight I was not made for noon I learned to read by starlight and navigate by moon the shadows know my face they know me by my mark from darker, colder places I came from the dark I am the dark not the absence of light I am the dark I was born for the night I don't haunt these halls these halls belong to me I am the dark I am exactly what I'm meant to be They tried to pull me into light like darkness was a flaw they said I had a birthright I handed back the dawn they called it something broken they called it something wrong I called it my foundation I called it all along I am the dark not the absence of light I am the dark I was born for the night I don't haunt these halls these halls belong to me I am the dark I am exactly what I'm meant to be I have stood out in the sun and watched myself grow pale I have tried to be the bright one and tried without avail in the dark I breathe correctly in the dark I find my name in the dark I move directly in the dark I finally came I am the dark not the absence of light I am the dark I was born for the night I don't haunt these halls these halls belong to me I am the dark I am exactly what I'm meant to be They always ask me why I don't fear the dark. I never know how to explain that I am the dark.
