it used to be that royalty
treated everyone like peasants
not much has changed
though it has been re-arranged
he who holds the money holds the power
now listen kid, cause I know you've read the books and gone to school,
but you must learn a new set of tools
you have to be street smart
if you want to survive
the fact is
if you practice
we might just make it out of here alive

let the swords clash
let the shields fall
hold strong, hold the line
and protect them all
let my blade be my guide
with my brothers by my side
though the battle may be ******
we will never back down
we will stand by each other
defending our crown

let pure water wash away
the remains of the ray
let it clear all but my conscience
as the moon shines brighter
as my shoulders bare, are weighted lighter
the chainmail as ***** as I feel
covered in blankets of blood
I cannot sleep, I cannot rest, I cannot deal
I cannot stop
I will fight until I drop
wash it away
wash it away
still, invisible scars remain
they stain
they stain
they stain

There are no actions for the anger in my arms
No visions for the venom in my veins

He promised so little and yet gave even less.
He took all that she had to offer and then left her in her tattered dress.
She used to love her dresses and how they’d swish and twirl
She made a vow to never wear the remains of that precious little girl.
She ran away into the night and vanished into the air
She learned that cooking skills provide the mighty frying pan
She learned to tear the trousers she wore before anyone got the chance
She learned to get away with crimes against the stupid men
Burn the frills away

She sleeps on a bed of roses and finds a new way to lie each day, forever changing poses.
The thorns may sting but if she continues to sing she would never feel a thing.
The world she knows only grows while she dwells in the shelves and the roses.
She sings to an empty audience and feels so very seen.
The battles fought are all for naught if she can’t be the queen.
The chips aren’t just for poker, and hair ties aren’t simple or plain.
She left it all to answer the call and run until she can feel sane.
Find me a frame
To capture the moments in my brain
Now I write you ballads and sing the refrains
The stories are all that remain
She sleeps on a bed above the abyss, thinking that you couldn’t possibly miss
The cries for a reprise and the screams for a different scene.
The moments when you saw it too.
She jokes and sings and always brings a new punchline at the end of the fight.
The masks she wears are how she bears the pain that’s already set in.
The light has left her long ago and she’s acting as if she can possibly win.
She took a chance to flee from romance and flirt with the dancers in her mind.
Find me a note
To summon from deep in my throat
Now I write you ballads and sing the refrains
The stories are all that remain

The alarm shakes my bed
The memories pound in my head
Reaching blindly for my phone
Struck by the realization I am alone
Take a shower
Get ready, quick
Temperatures fluctuate
And I always feel sick
Frantically turning the monitor on
Just practice for my greatest long con
Lights are bright inside my mind
Leaving my dreams behind
Clock is ticking
Take my medicine with a drink
Sure it scares me to pretend
But it's important for those around me to think
Do I have time to eat today
What a silly question, I say
When you live in your daydreams
The real world is a nightmare

Shatter and fall
On the ground
Shatter and fall
Like a pane of glass
Dropped down on the floor
Ask me a question and I’ll have to think of it, once more
Who am I, watching the days go by?
Who am I, to say yes or no?
Who am I, to give in to all the pain and sorrow that befalls our doom?
I’m building the walls of my own tomb
Who am I, watching the days go by?
Like a pane of glass, I’m fragile
Agility has never been my strength
At least not when conversation arrives
I’ll just crawl up and hide
Take all my feelings inside
And
Shatter
and fall
Shatter
and
fall
Shatter
and
fall
Shatter
and
fall
Fall

Embers cold and firey eyes
Upon the wood and sand
Devours anything that seems fit to be weaker
At a glance
Because I am the fire
Burning bright
The fire
burning higher than ever before
I am the fire
Embers burn to a crisp
And leave a mark when they are done
Don’t think I am not strong

Island
Safe and sound
On an Island
Water surrounds
Isolation
Yet people come
Never alone
Yet you feel like you’re the only one
Sometimes you need silence
To make the world around you disappear
Sometimes you need to grab a boat and flee to the Island
Run away and now there’s nothing to fear
The waves crash all around you
And on the Island, there is nothing you can’t do
So when you wake up in the morning
Away from your Island
Away from your peaceful home
When you wake up from your Island
And feel like you’re not alone
Cause you’re not alone
You can’t run
You can’t hide
You’ll have to come outside
eventually
Away from the Island and the sea
So wave goodbye
As the waves crash and leave you behind
Sail away
Even if only for today
Sail away
Come with the people
They're out there waiting for you at the dock and the pier
And suddenly
You leave the Island
And people are here
Who love you
And you have no need to disappear
You’ve left the Island and you are scared
But we are here for you
You’ve left the Island and you’re unprepared
But we’ll help you see it through
We’ll help you leave your Island behind
We’ll help you see it through
