Save my breath
Dorian 16h
I'll save my breath and walk away
From all the pain in my way
Grab my bag and disappear
No one will be there to hear

I'll save my breath and walk away
Giving up this foul display
I will expand my range
Because something has to change

I'll take my pen and challenge fate
Won't be the fool in my own game
I won't waste a single card
Glory will be my reward

Stressing lullaby
Dorian 1d
Time can tell this simple tale
Any minute every day
Many faces going pale
Telling us what words can't say

Once a need
Now's a fear
A lullaby's what you hear

An angelic voice from the distance
Is it ending or is it still distant...

Colour palette
Dorian 1d
Colorless world surrounds
Barely any sounds
Just a brush and dim lights
Hand in hand, time for art

Through the looking glass
Light shatters into parts
Colours dance, such a mass
Palette full, time for art

Colours flow and motions grow
Dazzling sights day and night
Endless parade every place
Innocence and grace, the planet's awake

Rooftops
Dorian 1d
Standing at the first stop
All you see is a doorknob
Is it locked or open
Take a chance
You'll know it

You might not dare
Since you're unaware
To ease the scare
There's a voice that helps

Kindness and light surrounds
A sudden crack, a simple hush
You're free to go
Now not alone

Enormous space
Yet so less taste
Seeing a pair of stairs
You make haste

Climbing the ranks
Reaching new stories
Uncovering more distinct premises
You feel danger, something arises

A wall's in your path
Blocking the steps
Making you stress

The voice needs rest
The light seems to fade
But here's your chance
Your best offense

Fear and faith combined
Using only your mind
You fill the place with energy
Like a sudden remedy

Everything looks vitalized
Now's the time
Tear it down and shine

Cracks appear,
The wall shatters
Head upstairs
You're almost there

Seeing the rooftops from above
While you wonder alone
Such sight, like a miracle

As day turns into night
The stars all start dancing
Looking at your guides
You join with your own light
Down on earth, yet so high up
On top of the world, another star's up

Afterglow
Dorian 2d
You've never seen me shine
But look at this glow
It's not your choice
The stars, they show
But does it hurt
Who knows
Try my eyes
And hope

See that fading point
That faint glow
A story told
But the ending's cold

Darkness shows
The light must go
That's how it goes
That star was old

But there's that glow
Do you see?
That afterglow
That faint hope

Now turn around
Look at me
Where am i?
Your eyes won't show
I'll lend you mine
There's more to know

See that lion? Or that bear?
You don't? They're right there
It's not a story, not a show
It's a light that never goes

Just connect the dots
Everything you know
Take a shot
And you'll see that glow

Now leave the sky
Fall to Earth
Look again
But this time,
Use your own sight

See a heart
See that glow
A story,
Waiting to unfold
Eternal or just bold
There will be afterglow

— The End —
