We don’t give up, poets
Today marks the day of a new kind of Triumph My whole life I have sought your approval and praise Knowing that in me you were always ashamed Humans have always feared what they don't understand But I am done being cut by the knife in your hand Today is my freedom, I've escaped the cage! Now your attention I no longer crave I've taken the knife from your bloodied embrace I've taken my freedom and I won't leave a trace I've been held back and held down for far too long What you see as my weaknesses are what make me strong I know I am an oddity, a wild one, a mystery But my twisted mind's what allows me to truly see! I see when the end justifies all the means I'm learning to listen to the voice in my dreams Battle cries are everywhere and I know now to listen I've been Awakened and through Triumph have risen I see your embarrassment from my strange behaviors But today I see past all your noise and distraction I no longer care what you see when you look at me Not ashamed or afraid, today I am free!

A new kind of Triumph ( a battle cry)
I dream of the apocalypse long for it fantasize daily of what it would be like the world as we know it ending never to be the same again the pain of lost nostalgia society crumbling a fresh start I long to see human nature stripped down to animal form raw fury primal instincts we would all be killers wild and desperate so focused on survival we'd forget about all the petty things that used to matter everything would be different no one would have to hide anymore I WOULDN'T HAVE TO HIDE ANYMORE! we could succumb to it the darkness the Monster it wouldn't matter the demons that plague you who you love who you are all your deepest darkest secrets suddenly simply methods of survival I would survive, I think we would alone together just fighting zombies let's be honest: they aren't that bad anyway someday, society would be reborn a new one post-apocalyptic we would go back to what we once were creatures of the night of blood and beauty but for a while, nothing but anarchy lawlessness pure desperate survival where nothing matters and everything goes I dream of the apocalypse

Apocalypse Dreams
Once One Oblivious to the pain of the world And of herself The split Began When she could not handle Her reality One Became Three But they were not done These troubled souls Mourned Together Held each other up But it was not enough They were Helpless Doomed to watch their cruel fate unfold So three grew into five Five Different The same Whole Divided They thought they were done Five is plenty But 6 7? Must be Better Safety in numbers A motley family Concealed inside a single Body Pain And safety Dissociation And protection We are a far cry from that little girl

Origins
Is it finally over? Living in fear Of those I am supposed to trust Breaking free of the cage The latest prophesy reoccurring I wondered what it meant Could it just be a change in mindset? Is it finally over? Hiding who I truly am Who WE truly are Masking Pretending To be whole, to be one Is it finally over? Fearing we will have to hide forever Wondering if anyone will ever believe us Wondering if anyone will ever care Was it a misunderstanding all along? Were we isolating ourselves without reason Believing it will be not different than the other times Are they finally ready to listen? Hope is a cruel thing Please don’t hurt us again

Failed (Metamorphosis pt 4.5)
"Maybe I am cursed, maybe I am gifted something tore inside of me now everything has shifted I've been feeling twisted I've been feeling twisted Call me paranoid, call it my addiction But I could lose my head with just a little bit of friction I've been feeling twisted Oh I've been feeling twisted" I'm not quite sure I understand Like, am I cursed, will my hands cause anguish, torture, death and pain Or can I use this to my gain? every day I fall apart use the songs to build me up with promises of future triumph but is prophesy enough? Can I tame the Monster inside Or am I doomed to be its slave Or one day will I testify For His will was all this pain I have to trust in what is coming Keep fighting, running, screaming, gunning perhaps what is seen as cursed and hopeless can be used to bring his gain ok, we can do this Together now we've got this Alii Semper Vincemus! We will triumph, they can't stop us We will not surrender now everything is going right someday things will get better as long as we choose to fight So maybe I'm Cursed But maybe I am gifted too and maybe I can use these powers to bring glory to You The shifts inside me bring both beauty and pain I sense friction is coming and friction I crave Sure, I'm scared But I no longer bow to fear I know what I've been called to do All this pain helps me prepare

Twisted/ Metamorphosis part 5
Broken wings have I Seeking sunset skies They fear what happens when I fly Longing after sunset skies Keeping on Keeping on For what else am I meant to do? Lying broken Bloodied wings But I keep on fighting on for you Crying out with broken beak Begging for reprieve Pleading pleading, please don't leave Without you, don't know what I'll do They wish for me to stay down low righteously afraid afraid they are, of me, you see So they cannot let me go I know, I know I know so well that suffering is sure to follow this pain this pain of every day is insolent and hard to swallow Hold me tight tight as you can but I will sure escape beating newly strengthened wings I leave you in my wake you tried you failed to keep me here alive I am and will not fear anything that comes my way Surely you have learned by now surely I have shown you You cannot hold me down! I laugh for joy and fly away

You cannot hold me down!
They told us we're insane We were under attack Helpless Afraid But we triumphed Alii Semper Vincemus! We triumphed And everything is going to be ok But we couldn't have done it alone Without each other we would have failed One to be friendly and social and innocent To be adored and underestimated One to stand firm and protect and defend To keep on fighting till there's nothing left One to charm and be unbothered by everything To be confident and relaxed and fearless One to strategize and organize and lead to know just how to get what we want One to prove that we are correct and whose purpose is not yet known To make mistakes but make up for them One to keep us all together and appear as though we are solid and one To be a mix and mediate and rejoice in our triumph We are the Others, all of us united Though difficult to understand I have been taught that faith is about not needing to understand to believe it is real And this has been a true test of faith But the Others are as real as anyone else And I will never stop fighting for them and for me Alii Semper Vincemus!
