To Write the Night Away My superego knows it should My ego thinks it could My id idiotically Insisting it would be Resisting destiny not to Be persisting so I do Seeing as how I see Myself and I agree with me Seeing me now being who Would go on going on When people ask me about it I say Something must be the matter with me to be Such a lone lobo and so far away Described as willowy and otherworldly Arriving at transcendence on my own But it just turns out I like to be alone Transcending at the end finding my way Mindful that for that it matters to be free For being itself seeing what I see That being myself is what matters to me To write the night away like this And send it like a kiss To faraway friends everywhere Across the sea I see there You shine here in my sky Tonight as the light I see by To see me through my dawn Seeing you as being why I should and could and so I would Go on until I am gone Steven Curtis Lance
