I've always searched the stars Wondered if there could be something there for me. Maybe a home? Maybe an origin? Maybe even love. They say we are all made of stardust. Then why is it so hard to get along? How can beings with stars inside of them feel hate? So every night, I search the stars, wondering if, somewhere, maybe, just maybe, someone is out there, searching the stars just like me. Longing for love. Family. A home that is not just a place, though that sounds nice too, but a feeling, a person. Who loves me as fiercely as the sun loves the moon, so much that we will make an eclipse together. Are these things really written in the stars?

In the stars
I used to wonder what it was like to be human. Used to believe I was a monster simply because of what I was. Now I understand. I choose to be a monster because they deserve it. I choose to **** to rip lives apart because of what they did to mine. Nothing will ever be the same. I am not a monster because I am not human. I am not evil because I am different, foreign, unknown. I am not feared because of my name or my skin, but because of my rage. I keep my promises, always. They deserve what is coming. They deserve to see the same destruction they sent me and my people. They deserve to weep, kneeling on the burnt floor as they mourn those who were stolen from them cruelly. And, if I die in the process, then I will finally reunite with my family in Caelum. My revenge will be as cruel as the names I was called.

To be human 2
All of this can't be for nothing We've worked too hard Fought too hard For it to be over I have lost too much I no longer know who I am They can't win I made an oath of blood and I will keep it. He will die tonight but not by my hand like I wanted I will be your sacrifice It's the only way I'm sorry love, but I have to do this I was always doomed to go up in flames anyway The whole world is collapsing These shards of truth I've clung to love pierce my soul Bloodred wings and gilded mask Will mark my last flight I launch myself into the sky above shining brighter than the sun eclipse and all you can see is my supernova bright and brilliant burning burning burning behind the mask, my face is expressionless but a single tear slides down my face as I hear the love of my life scream I am burning quickly steadily Pain blinding excruciating lovely I wonder what will happen when it's all over Was I a savior after all? or just a foolish boy disguised as a hero My painted feathers burn like candlesticks But I can still go higher! Burning up crying out But as I fall like a meteor into the sea A part of me remembers who I am Fulfilled Triumphant Loved I will transcend to Caelum as a warrior

Icarus
What do I do now? I don't even want to think about it, think about How my life is splitting apart at the seams and all of my panicked Outcries are doing nothing to stop it. Amazing, I think, that I've lasted as long as I have. Maybe this is for the better? I tell myself, but it tastes like a lie in my mouth. If I cease to be Caligula, what do I have left For myself. I am nothing, nothing! Nobody truly understands that I am losing everything and am Out of my mind with pain and fury. I can't stop Thinking, why me? Why is it always me? Can't I have good luck just one time? I'm not Asking for much. I'm scared, no, terrified that my Life is ending quicker than I ever anticipated. I wanted to die Grandly, in a wild blaze of glory. Not with my whole life Upturned, sinking slowly, suffering wildly, Losing what I worked so hard to achieve, And wishing I could go back and be great one more time.

Who am I if not Caligula?
