F The lights are on but I have no eyes.
I don't remember when she left It was sudden too sudden I don't remember when she left but the stiffness the stillness is burnt behind my eyes I don't remember where she is where she sleeps where she lays if the ground above her is thick enough warm enough if it snows I don't remember when they started replacing her like grains of white sand spilling out everywhere from her eyes ears skin bones I don't remember when I forgot who she was I don't remember when I left

I don't remember
But Icarus even if you fell you touched the sun You chased the light But you never knew that the light could burn so harshly too That those who’s the brightest burn the quickest But oh Icarus even if you fell you flew You flew with the wind blowing through your hair and the sun kissing your skin You flew with wings made of wax and eyes too bright And maybe that’s why the sun tried to embrace you Because your heart burn even in the darkest of cold in the emptiness of the tower Because you shine even in the night where even the sun couldn’t reach But Icarus even if you fell you were remembered Because even if you fell you burn so brightly You laughed as your wings burn and melt And as you fell back to the cold emptiness of the void the ocean the sea You set the world on fire for just a second then …but there’s always a certain tragedy in setting the world alight and watching it from the middle of the flames

Icarus
It’s cold. It’s always cold. It’s not that simple cold that you feel on a winter’s day or the shiver when you drink a cold drink. It’s something hollow and empty. Like something's missing and it aches. It’s a soul deep cold and tiredness that you just can’t shake. Some of the time it’s just a small twinge, but some of the time it’s all consuming. It’s painful even. You feel like there’s a hole in your chest and you don’t know why. It isn’t like heartbreak, where the wound would eventually heal. There is nothing to heal from. It’s irrational, contradicting, and all the time you just feel this terrible terrible void that ***** in everything and anything,  leaving you a shell of your former self. People only check your smiles, never your eyes, so it’s easy to deceive them. It’s easy to paint a smile on your face and laugh like nothing’s wrong. You’re too afraid  to ask for help because you know they would always just laugh at your face and said, “It’s your choice to stay sad, just cheer up!”, and you just laugh and shake your head like nothing’s wrong because they don’t understand and there’s nothing you can do. Say “I’m okay” to those who ask when in truth your screaming in your head for them to notice that somethings wrong because your at the end of your rope and god it hurts, and say “No, your not.” But it never happens, because they always try to avoid the painful truth, and then your left alone again, to fall, and fall, and fall.

The Dark King hides within shadows and fiends; Injured in a fight the world has never seen. The White King stands on a pillar cracked; Proud but wounded begins his final act. Neither can live while the other survives; Both Kings fall as the Final Battle arrives. New dawn comes as the new Kings rise; Painted in red by the Old Kings demise.

Kings
Along the bustling roads And throughout town I wander alone on the streets Like a ghost among crowds All around I see friends, grouped together like families Oh, right, I almost forgot It’s nearly christmas eve Look around, all the happy faces Cheerful, excited, hopeful Things without meaning At least, that is to me They walk and talk Run and hide and laugh Blissfully unaware Of the monochrome sky Twilight, now The road empty, the town quiet I walk along the streets Among lost spirits and lonely shadows

A Walk Around Town
One, two, three, four Go and hide and hide you do I find you and you start to run And I chase and chase and chase But you catch me before I can try Then you pull me under Under the waves the ocean Bring me to the place I’ve never known Show me wonders you see And the freedom you feel Wander, and wander I do Adrift the world No goal in mind Perhaps to find something that I can hang from Something I can climb Maybe see the world from above Or perhaps under the blinds Fire from the hearth But now all that is left is embers A gentle breeze And the last warmth is gone Replaced by the freezing cold And the ghost that came along Looking for a treasure A gift with wings One that can set me free On which where hope's alight Finally  I Found it utop a tree A necklace of rope And the courage to fly

Hide and Seek (The Treasure I Seek)
Perhaps, sometimes, we need some space, silence, some time alone. But yet, everytime I ask, they laugh, and laugh, and jeeringly ask, 'What's wrong?' Maybe I don't want to talk, Maybe I don't need to talk; Perhaps, sometimes, we just need space.

Space
In the time of darkness, The light remains. Perhaps a flicker, Almost in vain. The hope it still gives, The path it shows; Even on the dawn of new eve, Where the world nearly froze. Neither can survive, While the other dies. The double-edged sword lives, Thrives in deceit and lies; But no one can stop As the worlds collide.

Collide
Untold secrets and untold lies, They thrive and live and die. Withered and forgotten, Waiting to get rotten. With thousands underneath, Truth is just as incomplete. Layers of dust and dirt, Simply to cover up the hurt. Is there anything we know, Other than the ones we're told? How do we truly breathe, When this world is full of deceit?

Of Secrets and Lies
The restless souls Dark and cold Deep below ground Secrets are found Where memories sleep The past shall reap
