Burn

I have found
a place to land
where I’ll be safe and sound.
For the first time
the laughter that I hear is mine.
I close my eyes
and I wait for the beast to come alive
to ravage all the
beauty I now hold inside.
I don’t know how to let go,
forget the storm.
Break me out of this standstill.
I can’t follow the changing skies til
I can see
what these stormclouds really mean.
If I light a fire now
Will I burn?
Will I burn?
Can I still see rays of light
with your eyes?
Am I cursed?
Apologies
are more familiar to my tongue
than flowery
words of the heart that I am afraid of.
Don’t be alarmed
if in my arms you burn, burn, burn.
I know I’m more than how I’ve hurt.
It’s like the calm before the storm.
I don’t want to fear anymore.
Break me out of this standstill.
I can’t follow the changing skies til
I can see
what these stormclouds really mean.
If I light a fire now
Will I burn?
Will I burn?
Can I still see rays of light
with your eyes?
Am I cursed?
Ashes rain.
Your mistakes
swallow all my better judgment.
My fire
climbs higher
when I make myself forget.
Break me out of this standstill.
I can’t follow the changing skies til
I can see
what these stormclouds really mean.
If my heart ignites today
You will burn.
You will burn.
I’ll carry your memory
to the pyre
of my fire.

Six of Crows
04:58
|
|||
|
This is the city of toxic smoke.
We trade our lungs for a noose of rope.
Under our feet and the tilted ground,
ashes of runaways are never found.
Here is where the monsters hide.
Only the wicked can survive.
A girl’s lethal melody.
She just wants to be set free.
She fights among the cursed six of crows.
Who does she fight for, we’ll never know.
A soldier lost everything.
In debt to his enemies.
He fights among the cursed six of crows.
What does he fight for, we’ll never know, never know.
Here we are freefalling in the dark
and holding daggers to our hearts.
This could be the gamble of our lives.
But you can’t kill what’s already died.
Let’s light this up anyway
and live to dance in the flames.
A son bound by golden chains.
He just wants to breakaway.
He fights among the cursed six of crows.
Where does he come from, we’ll never know.
A sharpshooter aiming high.
This time, he will get it right.
He fights among the cursed six of crows.
Where does that come from, we’ll never know, never know.
Can you hear the ocean calling?
Leave behind the feathers falling
in our wake as we surrender
all our doubt. Can you remember
what it feels like to be human?
Maybe this is how we’ll lose it all.
We left our souls
with the devil where they belong.
Silent footsteps of a ghost.
I think she died long ago.
She fights among the cursed six of crows.
Where is her heart, we may never know.
A boy with a broken soul,
marching through this world alone.
He fights among the cursed six of crows.
Where is his heart, he may never know, never know.

So the Rain Goes On

Watching the rain
Slip down the windowpane.
How many times have I done this?
Cold morning air,
Reminder of where
I’ve been.
Am I still alive?
I’ve lost sight of the other side.
Do you remember me,
sorrowful final hours we see?
So we start again.
The same words now unsaid.
It’s been raining every day, every day.
Prisoner of time,
retribution of mine.
I relive this every day, every day.
We exist a thousand ways
inside the hands that found our stories.
How many faces did I wear?
Which will be remembered when I’m buried?
Am I still alive?
What’s waiting on the other side?
Will you remember me?
I’m sorry for everything.
So we start again.
The same words now unsaid.
It’s been raining every day, every day.
Prisoner of time,
retribution of mine.
I relive this every day, every day.
Laughter playing in my head.
Follow me until the end.
Midnight comes and then we’re gone.
And so the rain goes on and on and on and on and on.
I’ll mend it all
before I fall.
So we start again.
The same words now unsaid.
It’s been raining every day, every day.
Prisoner of time,
retribution of mine.
I’ll surrender to the rain, to the rain, to the rain.
