Messiah - The Great Masquerade

Image
  Based On: Beauty and the Beast Your chateau towers into the violet sky like some villainous lair I hear the whispers of a fight that left your golden gates bare I call a debate to the freedom you said I would be from and have But your crooked lines always take me there I run through your winter kisses like it ignites my soul My infamy is a daring dance that leads me away from home I'm bathed in sequins in the foyer of your 40th floor Your skies turn you to moonstone I have the same nightmare every day of the week They throw me over the cliff and say my madness pushed me I hunt these fortunes down like some cold blooded fantasy He says the beast inside you has devoured me I had a feeling you'd never leave me but why couldn't you let go The wolves at my heels made sure you'd find me buried deep in the snow You take it upon you to justify why the dust settles around you slow I can't explain how these longings are thorns in your rose My misgivings said you had warmed ...

Charlie - The Great Masquerade

Image
  Based On:  The Black Dog by Taylor Swift  Charlie they've been calling out To you for sometime now You've been hiding in the stores To see if they would care at all Have you been playing hard to get? Is that what you want or just another death? You say " People stay and people leave Don't you say you know what's best for me" Your heart belongs to every ocean you have sailed To find a way from it all You say, "People stay and people leave  Don't you say you know what's best for me I'm quiet inside and I just wonder If it all was a waste of time I pushed my limits, let it rain Took this dimwit of a past I never reclaimed  But people stay and people leave Don't you say you know what's best for me" You cry in Shakespearean anecdotes Draw in the thought of an afterlife  That couldn't possibly disappoint you more Left bitter in the midst of nothing at all And just for the better split of a second You had the best one month of your...

Indigo - The Great Masquerade

Image
  I've only felt the absence of a debt Shower over me since the last time we met Trust me, if I was in your place I would've called checkmate, all the same I was hidden in the shadows of indigo Bleeding slowly into the maroon dusk It was the silent theft of my ego That unbuttoned the coat of holes I loved I was so deep into the overture I didn't want to look for anything else I signed a search warrant for my lost love It didn't matter, you could've been anyone else I was a pawn in a rusted game That was beginning to leave stains All over the white of my brand new life I couldn't afford to paint over again There I was, an emotional wreck Tracing the lines you drew that led me nowhere Sullied the pursuit by bringing another player Who'd rolled the dice enough to rig what's fair I dipped my amended will in the darkest ink Wrote your envy off as an absurdity Tripped over the wire and broke my shell But I would've done worse, if I was a man And you may ha...

The Witch in The Tower

Image
  I still remember the glow of the candle Dancing on the lines of your face like a lantern Early April, the flame left a blister You drink this pain like the blood of a rival Now we fight like brothers who would die for each other Let the echoes of our rage collide A true pulse cutter, don't you wage another War, when your words still cut like knives I can feel the indentations Of your cataclysmic lust, still Run from the roots of my spirit To the ends of my branching fingertips I swim against the rising tides Of these black sands of time You can drown all my sorrows With every antidote you can find We still fight like brothers who would die for each other Cliffside duels in the dark of the afterlife A true pulse cutter, don't you wage another War, when your words still cut like knives I can tell by the way the flames gather at your feet You are to be taken away into the stormy sea And through the gray I see a golden chance to bring you back to shore  Must you always try and t...

Tale As Old As Time - The Great Masquerade

Image
  Faith was the fault that brought me Hell Cinder blocks on my back as it broke my shell Agony was the only poison left So I chose it over and over again I say nobody knows what the devil was like Only I've seen him at his worst so I Repeat what the reapers grimly say "Cut the vein baby girl, Oh don't you cave" I drew a cross over every thing I touched Midas possessed fingers turned my gold to rust I say I don't want this but I know he does Who am I to waiver all this cold blooded lust? Broken are the pieces of this puzzle of death Symmetrical gashes turn my blue blood red I say this with every breath I have left I've been chasing tyrants who want me dead Now I'd rather be haunted by who I thought you'd be But who'll pay the ransom for my embroidered fantasy? No tellers of my fate, would say I'm worth the price But would you still have me when the wine runs dry? The labyrinth changes every time I turn Tale as old as time but with endings forged...
