The Fake Empire
“Day after dayI live inside your brightnessBlinded, but I don’t look awayDay after dayI carry you like silenceHeavy, but I wouldn’t let you go.”
I smile, my voice is soft and steady, filled with determination.
“I can’t let you go,
Day after day
My love for you grows.
Blinded by your brightness.
A brightness that shines through
My darkness.”
As I finish the song the crowd is unusually quiet. Now I’m starting to second guess myself. Should I have played the original version of the song? The poppy less anxiety filled, version?
As my panic rises the crowd starts to go crazy. I let out a sigh and smile at them.
