The Starry Skies

  Take me Take my hand Lead me back Take me on a tour Travel with me Let us arrive at hell yet again In front of the gates Just you and I Staring aimlessly At what has entwined Based on our fates A respite to be found somewhere A golden ship with a golden mast Carrying its golden wings With golden sails All the gold we acquired my dear In our previous life Is so meaningless The boat we're on now Takes us to our place We stare at the gates Between heaven and hell Hellfire will never touch my soul It can eat my skin but it won't eat me whole Before I die Before I go I will leave behind a fragment A little piece of me My soul will roam the earth And be free In the afterlife I am uncertain But in the life I am me Hellfire will never reach my deepest reaches The messages I leave, the blood I bleed The purple and the green The black and the blue All the colours of me Speak of you My dearest readers My greatest friends A piece of me is forever with you now A piece of me is forever her...

My mother once told me a story Of pain, blood, and glory She taught me my worth before she was gone Left me with anger and fury And no one who knew me then Can deny how much I changed between then and now And still I see her reflection above me And I feel her presence surround me Her wisdom lurks down below me All, together, she's always around me I beg her day and night to take me to heaven Carry my weight while I patiently wait To be again cast back down I count my blessings Floating in space, I remain afraid Landing in water in the deep ocean Ready to give in, ready to drown Her image carries me back up and beyond Her soul flutters around like my stars I gaze upon it for a second and it's gone Just like her I miss her with every passing second Of every passing minute They say our people last forever That's a legend An unproven myth cause I can barely remember I can't even remember I cling teeth and nail to my memory of her Afraid to forget it Dismembered are my thoug...

  I am no longer a child A man I must become I keep going Keep moving on From place to place Mistake to mistake Ashes to ashes Dust to dust Keep moving on Never rust I climb the mountain I brave the storm Keep moving on Keep growing strong I learn the chords Play the strings of my heart Despite all my hubris Despite all my weakness Despite all that is me I keep moving on Keep breaking free Keep destroying All the chains That bind me I am not a kid anymore I've grown old I've grown weak Grown strong Despite all of it I am still but a child Your little boy has grown Oh, mother His smile has turned to frown I wrestled myself Into submission Must keep moving on Must move past the hurt Must keep going ahead Must never stop Or end Breathless, I must move Endless, I must be Shameless, I can't become Shame's instilled within me I cross the city of regrets Walk past the river of smoke Avoid the merciless Long lost plains of hope Beyond the horizon of indiscretions Beyond all tha...

What is unknown What will the future hold What is the world What does each person certainly know All that shimmers is not gold And I don't understand What it is I was searching for But I got lost Oh, I am lost Can't find the way I'm not Coming back home I lost all that I trust The people I've loved The ghosts of the dead ones Haunt me to this day And I am still afraid Still insane Uncontained Losing my grip on myself Reality is so strange The world around me is Unkempt An unbridled rage Within me contained Ready to be unleashed Only if I could be Free But I am lost And I am not Coming back home I am a little stranger within I am inside my room Sitting upright Atop my bed Not content And in the darkness I am awakened By thoughts of things that I've forsaken And I do not know And I will not care I am on my bed Yet lost I am forever there Unable to get up Unable to fall asleep Unable to end this storm Growing inside me Insane I have become And the sanest man is me And ...
