Sigh

Let me come out,
As the dark settles in.
Let me uncover myself,
As the birds return to their hives.
Let me reveal what haunts me within.
The hour has come for me,
To unleash my bewilderness.

The untamed monster is anxious to be set free,
But sigh, what good would that cause to me?
Sigh, who will understand what it says?
Sigh, the language it speaks brings untold misery.

Be silent my monster, just stay within.
I can't fulfill your desire, you're my lone kin.

The day will come out,
You'll go back to sleep.
The sun will rise,
And I'll shut you quite.
I'll make you stay within,
Just stay within!
