night songs.

 They say the city doesn’t sleep,Well then this definitely ain’t a city, cause I’ve rarely seen it wake up. 

I’d love to sing songs about the day. Because all I’ve ever written are the melodies of darkness. I want the day and the joy and the love and the hope and the things that make my heart soar to turn into words. I want to write about how happy I am, because it's been a long time since I've been in this place.  But my pen is so used to being saved for the brokenness. For the deep, the difficult, the pain, the angst, the loneliness, and the confusion. I don't know how to teach it to work differently.  I'd love to write songs about the day. But instead I'm going to try and write the best damn night songs I can.
