Here we go The human race They let it blow Up in our face. And here I stand A final man It all seemed planned To end this way And though I lie On the verge I cannot try I cannot Urge What gods remain Up in the sky What ending refrain To my lullaby So rest little soldier Rest little man Be strong like you're older Pretend like you can Stomach the rage Stomach the pride What ending refrain To my lullaby You fought for years You killed for more You've seen the tears As your people tore Through the borders Through the lands Tip the boulders Kick the sands You scream "go to hell!" And kick the can So here we stand The last of days Praying something Would take the pain And child you cry You've seen the worst Your blinded eye You're feeling cursed So Stomach the pain Stomach the pride What a ending refrain To a lullaby

My Lullaby
Through our bloodshot eyes we watched, Worried for our kin. "Trust not thy neighbor" We whispered prayers Private misconceptions of lonely rattled minds The 5th of November Is the day we all remember A slowing, the Slowing "We have no way of knowing" The man cleared his dry throat, and swallowed what little Silvia left. "But we suspect that it will continue" In the beginning of the end of our world I remember watching. Stores were soon empty People hear the news, and they wanted to move They scurried like small animals suddenly under a light. But, there was nowhere on earth to go.

The end of days
The stars, with all their power, are falling like Himalayan roses. Tonight the marble moon is burning, mirroring the hazel flames in your eyes. Soon the twin shadows of Gemini will soar overhead. While the world unravels like a crimson dress, tell me the moment— the moment you knew life was good. Dust storms, spirits, shadows will bleed across the dawn. Inside this truck let me cradle your heart; beneath the darkness I’ll be your armor. Up the sleeves of our feelings, night no longer terrifies— cling to the hem of my words as streetlights spill over skin and memory. Oh, these shadows, shadows, shadows… I feel fear as fiercely as I feel the fire in your eyes, while the red sky drops like razor blades. Until we’re clothed in a single flame, tell me you belong to me. There is only this night: the marble moon in flames, stars collapsing around us. Turn the radio up—one last song— and let its blaze of sound meld perfectly with the fading.

The Hazel Flames
I wish to fire All planets I can reach, Do even stars can tell what happens, When universe is glitched? Is matter fading? Like me - fade in the dusts, Seems like I've lost my spotless mind In self-destruction rust. My eyes are staring, The silver rain shall pass, The darker skies will open all its beauty - This vision shall be last. World is on fire - I'm watching oceans burn, The darker skies once radiant, Mountains collapsed in storm. And now I'm dying - My scared mind's only thought, But when I'm staring up at heavens, I see - the thuth is far beyond. Beyond bright starlight, And cosmic coldest lights away, If i could look behind the blinding suns, I'd clearly see its cruel sway. (inspired by OTWATM and Midnight Odyssey)
