F/At the Edge of the Galaxy Don't cry for me. I'll come back to you, and we'll watch the stars...
Have you seen a young girl, By the name of Octavia? Intertwined with shadows, Of playful voices of madness Do you remember, When everyone forgot her? And she was left to wilt Like a flower in the snow Do you remember, When she stopped being scared? As the madness and hysteria became no different In the eyes of lost Octavia Do you remember, The eldritch one who's Octavia? That unsettling childishness of the maddened girl Lingered in her parents' hearts Have you seen a young girl, By the name of Octavia? She's running the corner store, smiling so sweetly With a torn book in her hand... and a sharp blade

Octavia II
The twilight sky gives off feelings, of... Amor, is that the word? Regardless, a feeling lingers in my heart And I don't know what to call it Worry, curiousity, fear, animosity, sickness, innocence, thoughtfulness, thoughtlessness, and everything in between For him, My sweet son of yore, The knight that would do anything for the safety of mine And for his kingdom too, I shall sing this twilit lullaby. A blanket on your body, A pillow to rest your head, And a book to read the stories Of love, fear, and dread. And when you fall asleep, It's when the madness begins to resound. Your mother, your guardian, your angel Like a golden goddess, with her sword, To cut away the fear. She, too, shall sing this twilit lullaby, And with her sword, shall vanquish the madness and fear.

A Twilit Lullaby
Another night, another period in solitude At least, that's what I think Everyone's asleep, counting the stars in their dreams But the stars I count are all real Silver mane, eyes of rubies You seemed to have came out of a painting And a heart not of stone, but of gold That cared for every being I could think of She caught me in her web, but she meant no ill will That woman was proof kind spiders could exist If only she could've stayed forever, with me If only... However, it wasn't meant to last The battles threatened the safety of her I promised I would protect her 'till the end of my days Alas, it wasn't enough A single slash, and you fell A sobbing screech sadly cut short Laying on the ground, you rubies fading My loved, fading away And now I bask in the eternal night Writing this moonlit requiem

A Moonlit Requiem
Cinders and ashes cover the ground Mama and papa nowhere to be found I scream out loud; no, there's no sound Oh where, oh where, could they be Mama and papa nowhere to be found Could they be singing my lullaby Oh where, oh where, could they be Please, cry out that old melody Could they be singing my lullaby I shant go far from the truth Please, cry out that old melody The song that reminds me of you I shant go far from the truth I know they'll be sleeping with stars The song that reminds me of you That one last tune from afar

Cinders
Every day, you look at the sunset. It's the end of a day, and a beginning of a night. A cold, lonely night. Yet you hate lonely, cold things. So why is it, that you enjoy looking at the thing that starts what you hate the most?

Sunset
I look at the old shop It only closed a few days ago I remembered it by name And the people that worked there Their names were Jane and Harold A couple who started the business on their honeymoon A simple store, selling simple things Coats, towels, brooms And yet I always came So they could be happy However, money was tight Few customers ever came The two grew worried They couldn't keep up, but they tried to Sold all their belongings, just so they could be happy Jane was infertile, but she knew the shop was her baby When she cried, Harold cried And eventually, they let go I walked to the empty storefront Sometimes I could see the two smiling

The Old Shop
The diner has lots of shakes Vanilla, chocolate, strawberry But none of them have the power To cure my broken heart

Milkshakes
Flowers share their golden bloom I know everything'll be okay And they'll get rid of all my gloom I sing songs inside of my tomb "You have to stay in there," they say Flowers share their golden bloom I already know about my certain doom The skies turn a brilliant gray And they'll get rid of all my gloom I can't sleep in this bedroom I think thoughtfully about today Flowers share their golden bloom Soldiers share a final legume Bombs fly in a beautiful array And they'll get rid of all my gloom Blood splatters, a red abloom This would be further known as D-Day Flowers share their golden bloom And they'll get rid of all my gloom

Bloom and Gloom, This Special Day
I'm feelin' pretty tipsy now Dancing to the beat, huh Hey, sweep me off my feet And take me to the moon Dancing to the beat, huh Serve me a martini And take me to the moon So we could eat the stars Serve me a martini And we'll run away, yeah So we could eat the stars Tiny bite-sized bits So we could eat the stars Hey, sweep me off my feet Tiny bite-sized bits I'm feelin' pretty tipsy now

Tipsy
The snowy mountains of old Rose up above the top Teeny tiny raindrops came Onto the ground, plip plop Children young and old run Ready to slip and fall Once they saw their bruises They would whine, scream, bawl There was woman in a house Known as Ellie Regard She ran a petite flower shop And once dated a bard She said, "I know you're having fun But worry about this town Soon the rain will grow plentiful And then we will all drown." Not heeding her warnings They shunned her little shop They threw dung and wet clothes On the ruby red rooftop Ellie could not help but scream And run far away Into a dark and cold cave Where she would stay It came to the point when the rain Grew a staggering whole foot Frantically, they tried to counter it By throwing bags of soot Ellie felt a dark force Whispering to her ear She hit it in a fit of whiplash And begged, "Please disappear!" Shots rang out into the night The only source of light Ellie screamed once more and ran And saw the flooding town In a livid shock she said, "I knew you all would drown!" But she herself was swept up Struggling for air A wooden oar that had splintered Took hold of her red hair She knew that she would not live And knew that she could not forgive
