  The knights returned from battle Bandaged, body and soul Head of the ruler in hand It was a rabid spectacle Swords crossed until the helm burnt down The townhouse bedlam climbed over their stone walls They wait like the bats hanging upside down in the trees Nightfall comes in light years and the gallows scream Like the mocking birds of the kings naivety The children screamed in chorus hiding underneath their beds Their houses once homes now battles fields instead "Burn away this memory", they beg  The kings guard were nowhere to be found Civility began storming castle grounds  The taste of flames on the tip of his tongue His gilded cage, his worst enemy now The bottled lighting poured from the sky And electrified the first of his nine lives A coup they called it but the enmity, immature A kingdom is a people even if their ruler falls Tilt my crown, I dare you through the smoke There was rage dressed in armour and the tears went down like wine  Mud etched fingers an...

  I drew blanks from the start and I should've gone home Followed the road not run, I paved for my downfall My faith was gone, killed to a silence And the death march trance followed me to the fortress I see my kingdom come crashing down  And I hear battle cries like silent sirens In my soul, it bleeds me blue  So I hide away, deep in the walls Cold and frail I polish my blunt knives and throw on my tilted crown Played both sides of the war, now my whole empire's gone My faith was flawed, down to the worship My bones were once bronzed, now they're fragile and overrun  I see my kingdom come crashing down  And I hear battle cries like silent sirens In my soul, it bleeds me blue  So I hide away, deep in the walls Cold and frail I dealt the final blow, watched your ships leave my harbour All alone, my reign turns you to stone My palace, so lovelorn, and haunted to a close My friends, now foes who bolted at the crack of dawn The air was warm, I turned elusive an...

  I'm not an echo of the ocean that puts you to sleep I'm just a seashell hoping to get picked on a quiet beach Committed to seclusion, it must be witchcraft that keeps me content Backbone shattering ruin, I must be unjustly spiteful and mental Vexed like I'm a bottled menace No one likes an enchantress Let me calm you down, hypnotize all things wild You weep like a summer waterfall Scratch your face like you don't really want it all But why can't I remain in the dreamscape of my wilderness, untouched, fragile and raw If my heart must break, let it find its place in another soul, one where it holds Too many heartbeats, a death march pounding, my fangs begin to show Pump the blood rush, maroon sunburn, mended assumption I sink my teeth in deciphering the gravity of my blasphemy Plagued by every prophecy Withdrawal is anxiety Let me calm you down, they should've warned you about me I weep like a flooded waterfall Burnt the clothes that gave me depth and a persona ...

  I knew you before the storm hit, heavy and wild You played with chances on the pier and double stepped your climb When the road began turning in dark ways You switched gears and drove on  When the scent of a miracle began to fade  You refused to press pause  I read into the silence you give me now The passion that burned like blue flames left you burnt somehow I imagine it must bruise in the most haunting ways In bold at the footnotes of your blacklist, lies your fate When you say we've run our course, does that mean you're tired of me?  I sensed a classical undertone in the trajectory Of our fall, and I fear I will rise to the top of your list  Where making amends is an ask for a death sentence If I'm a horrible person, what does that make you?  The devil on both your shoulders, malevolent and shrewd If I know you, you blacklist my voice and my body And remember it as the forgotten house of sanctuary I'm persecuting you and begging for a change in a...
