Black Light

I don’t want to be, just another black light

Fooled into giving false radiance

Phosphorescence shroud in mystery

Glowing with contempt

Darkness rejoices

As incandescence fades away—

The light has been replaced

By an object less luminous

Light the way,

What is there to see?

Not much, but lets pretend to enjoy the view

Black can’t be that bright anyway.

Infrared light—

Emitting in frequencies too low to observe

Beyond the spectrum of visible light

This is how the darkness wins.

Black Light, Black Light

It has hidden real light.

It once was bright.

Shining with all its might—

Now all I see is night

But it’s the middle of the day

Is there a way

To scare this darkness away

Before the light continues to decay

Black Light, Black Light

If it must be dark to see this light

We’ve found a false light

We’ve found a false light.
