I’ve discarded my skin. Cremated your sins. Held onto your eyes, its color staining mine. Nice to meet you once again. It’s been a while since we last met. Bet you don’t recognize the broken mirror you let die. Have you ever seen a ghost like me? I am made of all your shattered dreams. Were you careful with the skeletons that you buried for the hell of it? Have you woken from the nightmare yet? Sorry to say mine has yet to end. Haunting cold flame spells out my name. Deconstruct and restart. My embers fanned into your spark. New smile, same old bones. Under it all, you’re still alone. You can’t bury me again. Can’t kill someone already dead. I’ve come back to collect the ashes I left in your debt. Have you ever seen a ghost like me? I am made of all your shattered dreams. Were you careful with the skeletons that you buried for the hell of it? Have you woken from the nightmare yet? Sorry to say mine has yet to end. Haunting cold flame spells out my name. I’m the voices in your head, dragging you down. I’m your manifested regrets coming around. I am someone else’s will. I’m the remnants that you killed. How can I believe in heroes? I’m a symbol carrying on. Red ideals burning strong. I’m a dead man left unmourned. I am ashes. I’m reborn. I’m reborn. Have you ever seen a ghost like me? I am made of all your shattered dreams. Were you careful with the skeletons that you buried for the hell of it? Have you woken from the nightmare yet? Sorry to say mine has yet to end. Haunting blue flame spells out my name. I’m the voices in your head I’m the soul you left for dead Red ideals burning strong I am right where I belong. I’m the voices in your head. I’m the child you left for dead. I’m the flame you hated most. Bet you now believe in ghosts.

Carvings in the drywall Of a house I’m aching to call home. I wonder what is left of me Under the dusty memories. I fall into the dark. Again. I wonder where it comes from. Was I always afraid of Love in the way I knew. Did you see my story when I gave my soul to you? How can I live again If my heartbeat doesn’t recognize the kid you say I am. Footprints in the snow have lingered. Pallid skin, frostbitten fingers. We belong to our last hours. Eternal winter’s trampled flowers. I fall into the cold. Again. I wonder where it comes from. Was I always afraid of Love in the way I knew. Did you see my story when I gave my soul to you? How can I live again If my heartbeat doesn’t recognize the kid you say I am. Call my name Call my name Make me hate the way it sounds. Run away Run away So I can’t follow you down. Call my name Call my name Run away Run away Are you waiting for me after all? Time feels so incomplete. Did you see the ending when you gave that name to me? How can I stay with you When I’m given clarity under somebody new? Call my name Call my name Run away Run away Are you waiting for me after all?

You have chained us with my blood. Daggers piercing us as one. I keep them in my crimson sky So you’ll fall with the vision of their eyes. Oath to armor, keep me red. Hold me to my promises. Keep your venom in your veins So you’ll fall with the vision of all their pain. So you’ll fall and you’ll never forget their names. Half of me is a hostage to ghosts. My name is the retribution they’ve lost. Blood moon, keep me awake if I close my eyes. I’ll become the monster that kept me alive. Spoils all over my hands Tell me how to live with that. Here’s a heartbeat for the rest I am sinking daggers into empty chests. Daybreak waits on the other side. The blood moon will be out tonight. I am chained in the morning light I am sinking daggers into untold lies. If I break my promise, I’m ready to die. Half of me is a hostage to ghosts. My name is the retribution they’ve lost. Blood moon, keep me awake if I close my eyes. I’ll become the monster that kept me alive. Under the smoke and broken mirrors I see a graveyard of stolen years I’ll set the ghosts free. My beating heart is intertwined With all the sins I leave behind Half of me is a hostage to ghosts. My name is the retribution they’ve lost. Blood moon, keep me awake if I close my eyes. I’ll become the monster that kept me alive.

Do you believe in what lies under the veil? And if the world unraveled, could anyone tell? Are we the secret love children kept from the blind? Do you believe in fables? They’ve all come alive. Rise up. We’re running out of time. Our days are numbered by the skies. Wielding blades bigger than ourselves Under fire hotter than Hell. I’ve found a thousand unread letters. Intentions forgotten and weathered. Reclaim our stolen asylum Starlight burns in our lungs. A message from the prophet followed me down into the lovely wastelands that lay underground. Pre-written destination, send me through the sky I’ll inherit the fragments of truth left behind. Rise up. We’re running out of time. Our days are numbered by the skies. Wielding blades bigger than ourselves Snuffing fire hotter than Hell. The ocean is welcoming me home. I follow currents to the unknown. Reclaim our stolen history Starlight burns inside me. Pyres across the field Immortalized sword and shield. If this is how we go at least I will know What we’re fighting for. We have the eyes of warriors. This is who we are. Rise up. We’re shattering the limits. The smoke is clearing from our vision. Divine bronze sparkles on our blades Can’t burn us under the flames. The ocean is welcoming me home. I follow currents to the unknown. Rewrite our stolen history Starlight burns inside me.

Torn away from the world I learned to love As minutes pass like centuries, somehow not long enough Bloody wrists from the vines and thorns pulling me into my grave Strip me down until there is nothing left for you to save. Can you see the child I was Underneath the devil’s heart? Forsake myself as my form of d eliverance Oasis built on bones once made of innocence I’ll write god’s name in the blood of those I took from him Without any right But this is our fight. Kerosene hope running all across the royal floors. We’ll watch their castles burn and I will lock all of the doors. Fear turns to tears turn to blades turn to blood turn to rust. The breath of our fallen family expanding in our lungs. Can you see our brand new start Underneath the devil’s heart? Forsake myself as my form of deliverance Oasis built on bones once made of innocence I’ll write god’s name in the blood of those I took from him Without any right But this is our fight. I’ll lay down my weapons if you steady my hands. Show me a bloodless victory and I will understand. I never wanted this to hurt. I left my soul in vines and dirt. I will wear a devil’s clothes if I must. But playing god will lead me back to ash and dust. Forsake myself as my form of deliverance Oasis built on bones once made of innocence I’ll write god’s name in the blood of those I took from him Without any right But this is our fight This is our fight.

Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh Oh, Oh, Oh Mother never wanted to be found after all the dust was settled, six feet under wilted petals. Bloody footprints staining hallowed ground. We are all just casualties Of one man’s false divinity. Far beneath the ground, I’m screaming, Reaching out but you can’t hear me. Wait for me underneath the consequence of our audacity. Shameless thieves you and me But we all bleed. Not a sound falling down. Our names mean nothing once we hit the ground. Take it all away in vain. Vacant eyes are dry through all the pain. Hold on to your expired dreams. Just promise you’ll have faith in me. Catching the horizon on the way. I’ll return my arrogance. You’ll emerge victorious. Clockwork wings are catching fire. The dues we pay for our desires. Wait for me underneath the consequence of our audacity. Shameless thieves you and me But we all bleed. Not a sound falling down. Our names mean nothing once we hit the ground. Take it all away in vain. Days are passing. I am wasting Endless nights you’ve stayed awake for. Just a little longer and I promise I’ll even the score. Innocence is unrecognizable underneath our bloodshot eyes. I still live to fight the impossible We’ll make it to the other side. Wait for me underneath the consequence of our audacity. Not a sound falling down. Our names mean nothing once we hit the ground. Take it all away in vain. Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh Oh, Oh, Oh
