Blending into the night
I'm a shadow
I stand in front of you
you never knew I was there

Black as a moonless night
darkness is my refuge
my salvation
I hide away from the world
still standing in its midst
should I reveal myself
open myself up to scorn

I'm black as a moonless night
darkness is my friend
together we are one
where do I begin
where does it end
we are intertwined
joined by color
stepping out into the open
I'm disregarded
people look right through me
my existence is none

Black as the moonless night
I am
