The dream is dead, you killed it You descended from the stars just to butcher and to hit I offered you redemption, a path to make amends You answered with your spears and slaughtered all my friends You took away my family, you took away my life You pushed me to the edge, now prepare for the night Well, I am not gonna be that sweet girl anymore Consider this a declaration of holy war I've woken up the demon that was sleeping at your door You wanted entertainment, you wanted holy grace I'll wipe that self-righteous smile right off your face When I pay you a visit, I won't be singing songs I'll be writing every word of your blood-soaked rose I buried all my tears, now there's only room for hate You forged this broken monster, so accept your fate I'll show you what it means to face the daughter of the Morningstar Cause I'm the ruin, I'm the end I am the nightmare for the message that you send I'm your demise, I am the plague I am the consequence formatted in their blood So cower in your clouds, lock your pearly gates tight Because the princess of hell is coming for the light Go say your goodbyes to your sky To your heaven

Redemption is Dead (this is my favorite song from KayJoung)
The emperor is naked, can't you see? We're zombies marching to the grave But we'll never be a part of your machine We've got to clean up the mess that you've made The kids are coming; can you hear the sound? Can we carry the weight of mentality? The tides are changing, we won't bow down The children are angry, as they should be! Can't grit my teeth, can't hold my tongue There's blood on the floor But you cannot **** what we are You gave up being good when you declared a state of war! Every single thing around us is for show and tell And we won't go too far outside of the lines I'm tired of the rules and your corrections It's pouring rain, but I'm alive! I've been told to wait, but why should I be silenced? Why is no one raging? Now it's been long enough to talk about it? You don't even know my name! The explosions around you is your symphony But little did you know that I was cut for it I'd rather risk it than stay inside this prison I can be different, I can't be puppeted! Love alone isn't enough Is it easier just to comply? Cause if you get out, then you just might feel alive Guess our comfort it comes at a price You're listening now cause there's blood in the water Would you look at the mess that we've made We'll never get free, lamb to the slaughter Don't blame it on the kids! I shouldn't have to be the bigger person Haven't I given enough? The television lies and now my mind hurts But you can't stop us now Nothing can die while we are here! A dream is all I have Life, manufactured so we stay in line I was taught that speaking up was talking back (We're the revolution) No matter where you go (bored, everyone's bored) You've got to follow the yellow brick road The only thing we share is one last name She who refuses to peek through the curtain Now I'm running far, far, far away And I'm not going home They like to think that they're heroes, and we're just all ones and zeros, programmed to add to the noise, but never be seen as an equal Well here comes the sequel Songs used: To Douse a Scalded Tongue– Yaelokre Grudge– NEONI I'm Not Going Home–Tones and I Apple Tree– AURORA You Don't Know My Name– Tones and I Family Jewels– Marina Blame it on The Kids– AViVA Bird Cage Blue and Yellow– Yaelokre Bigger Person– Lauren Spencer Smith Machine– NEONI Carousel– NEONI and AViVA Giving Into The Love– AURORA Daydreamer– AURORA Gilded Lily– Cults Daydreaming– Paramore Underground– NEONI The Revolution– NEONI The Kids Are Coming– Tones and I **** V.

THE CHILDREN ARE ANGRY, AS THEY SHOULD BE (A poem made entirely out of song lyrics)
The emperor is naked, can't you see? We're zombies marching to the grave But we'll never be a part of your machine We've got to clean up the mess that you've made The kids are coming; can you hear the sound? Can we carry the weight of mentality? The tides are changing, we won't bow down The children are angry, as they should be! Can't grit my teeth, can't hold my tongue There's blood on the floor But you cannot **** what we are You gave up being good when you declared a state of war!

(One, 2) (1, Two, 3!) I can tell I'm underwater 'cause my lungs are full of water And I'm breathing lots of water and there's Water in my Ears! Well they told me 'Grow some Gills, or at least some sorry Frills' So I tried to grow some gills, but I ended up with tears! Well my friends all breathe just fine even those with lungs like mine I don't know why I'm not fine, but there s water in my ears! And I'm swimming through the galaxy repeating sunk cost fallacy I'm wand'ring through the galaxy confronting all my fears And I just wish that my fears were something, I don't know, like, worth confronting? Not a stupid, silly, something, like, idk, talking to people? **** although i kinda wish it were that simple because really i'm just scared that how i'm phrasing things and saying things... and just my general tone makes people think different of me? like it makes everyone hate me. and it doesn't help that... I'm Not Wrong. All the fish breathe underwater and the whales live underwater even though they don't breathe water how do I do things like that? Because Every One I Know Can Still ******* Breathe Just Fine. But i'm not really drowning? But I feel the water pressing In my lungs i'm not quite drowning But my breathing's just not happening? And...

Breathing UnderWater!
Come to our sweet song You travel far from home Rest your eyes a moment Stand clear from falling stones Our passion in our hearts Is undeniable Rest your eyes a moment Sail closer to the shore Drifting Moon And Fleeting Tide Rest your eyes And wipe Your cries Drifting Moon And Fleeting Tide Rest your eyes And mind Your smiles Come to our soft melody You traveled far enough Rest your soul a moment Steer clear from sea that’s rough Our dedication in our hearts Is undeniable Rest your soul a moment Sail closer to our shore Drifting Moon And Fleeting Tide Rest your soul And try Your lies Drifting Moon And Fleeting Tide Rest your soul And hide Your skies

Siren
"A slaughterhouse," I think of my own home, the way imagery of the blood from my mistakes slips down the walls, all vivid in my head as I visualize the old house. "An outlet mall" The mall that was shut down about 2 years ago now, one where my grandma worked, I'd visit and we'd shop together in Old Navy where she worked and we'd talk about what used to fill the old stores. "Slot machines," The casino off Exit 33, a familiar name in my life, having been once as a kid even if the casino haunts my memories as everyone somehow connected to it. "Fear of God" The religious trauma, the slow drag of sin taking over the little catholic girl I once was, as the smoke exited my lips after an attempt to revisit the church after 4 years. "Windows down," The flashbacks to the car rides with mom or dad where we'd scream the song lyrics and laugh, the way they both sped even with me in the car, not a single care other than to be picked as my favorite. "Heater on" I always hated heaters, hated the warmth, but the smell of the vents turning on after the long summer is soothing to my brain. "Big bolts of lightning hanging low" I watch the storms, until they finish, all lights off in my room with the blinds all the way up as I ignore everything around me and focus on the rain hitting the glass, the booms of thunder, and the flashes of light. "Over the coast, everyone's convinced" The East Coast is too familiar, I've been here my whole life, and I don't think I could ever comprehend not being here at some point cause I always planned to stay. "It's a government drone or an alien spaceship" I couldn't know, I didn't understand, how everything could somehow collapse in 4 years. "Either way, we're not alone" I found someone, a boy, someone I love and could never leave, the future bright in my eyes as I don't wish to relive my life for the first time. "I'll find a new place to be from" His family was amazing, caring, and accepted me so fast, I could never feel whole anywhere else even with my own parents. "A haunted house with a picket fence" My old home. "To float around and ghost my friends" I'd always regret. "No, I'm not afraid to disappear" I was never scared of death but the idea of dying scared me. The billboard said, "The end is near" As I pass by the familiar roads. "I turned around, there was nothing there" The memories were fading, whether good or bad, I was starting to forget. "Yeah, I guess the end is here" I'll silently stare at the old house, the old mall, my old friends, my parents, my boyfriend and his family, and even myself. And every time I look, I know, I'll remember the end.

What’s your problem? Is it so bad you have to run Run away Run away as fast as you can? You’re already so gone Gone A stranger’s eyes have found a home inside your weary head Deep inside you The city burns I don’t know what it is about this place That everybody Seems to be fine just killing time until the end of days Sleep to forget Sleep to dream about anything Anything at all Sleep will save you From all the monsters that await your waking like the executioner awaits the gavel’s fall What’s your problem? Is it so bad you have to Lock Lock yourself away in your dreams? Count your heartbeats As long as you’re inside this cage You will never know what it is to be free

song lyrics
The morning light shines a lifeline- escape is what I need. but tell me if I run away, How long will I bleed? I'll give you my best side tell you my best lies. Go on and light a cigarette Set a fire in my head tonight. Ever thought of calling when You've had a few? Spitting out this talk 'cause all I want is you saying Come over here and sit next to me I'll run to you till I Can’t stand on my own anymore. Hoping, praying, Wasting borrowed time- Capsize, I'm first in the water, Too close to the bottom, With eight seconds left in overtime- It’s not love, but it’s better than dreaming.

Relics of War
Where am I? What path should I take? Begin this new life waiting to die? Or turn back...to my old world? Am I still stable? Or am I being consumed by the chaos? Is this truth that I’m seeing or the fabricated delusions of insanity? Just one step away from that finite darkness. The uncertainty and despair it snatches at my ankles and neck like chains. Pulling me towards the wall of doubt. This sour taste of fear bleeding out of my mouth. It threatens to consume me now. Truly already so lost. This bird without wings trying to fly but fatally falling from grace. So long I’ve been staring and searching for some semblance of a savior that I’ve been tying my own noose with the false  fibers of fabrication. Can I still be saved when my soul is so barely recognizable? Covered in acid and tar from my wretched past with blatant disregard for the lives around me. This dark cloud nearly has me now. Can I be saved? Can I be saved? Suddenly bursting forth in a brilliant display, the light pierces through the darkness illuminating my face like an unforeseen kiss. Rise. Rise. The veil is lifted. The chains are broken falling like ash. Veneration percusses my soul and through squinted eyes I can see it all. This truth I’ve been searching for. What was always inside whispering. Too blind to listen. Too deaf to see. Overcome with indescribable peace I reach for the hand of solace. The light melting this torment and anguish from my heart. Climbing from that blind cave of oblivion I raise my face to my rightful place in the sun. Blindingly taken with this beauty I once withdrew from. I am reborn. I am reborn.

Hold Me a Little Bit Longer
she looked in the mirror with tears in her eyes and she couldn't even recognize the face that was staring right back at her when had all her innocence left her? and she knew she would regret it as she dragged across her skin the knife of a soul broken once again she heard in the depths of her shattered heart a voice calling out through the dark, saying, don't you give up, don't you let go I am with you, by your side, I'm by your side you're amazing, you're beautiful, and I promise you that I am here, I'm always here blood like tears ran down her arms and splashed onto the tile floor a quiet reminder, proof of the lies, the only thing she felt she could do she had so many friends but they were all fake she knew not one of them really loved her she was standing right beside them but her soul was somewhere else and she could not come back to earth, she heard, don't you give up, don't ever let go I am with you, by your side, I'm by your side you are lovely, you are so worth it, I promise you that I am here, I'm always here in her darkest moment she heard it again, she was ready to give up, she wanted to let go she hated herself and what she'd become so she held that knife to her skin...

Go to sleep, The siren's song to my ballad Hey beautiful, come with me Eternity is ours Finally, The dawn reveals her silhouette As I slowly sink down to my knees, Im lost in her gaze, Enveloped in her silken stare.

The Siren's Song to My Ballad
Her eyes, contest evening skies My dreams in full blossom While her eyes, pierce midnight skies The stars watch in envy Yet I'm just nobody else to her, I dont have the courage I could just love from afar, But this I must do - Dear, I hope that you know I just love the way you glow I just cant be your Prince Charming Too. I will become her star only if she lets me, I will become her star if she lets the sun set.

Unnamed Chorus
In the stretches of her wings, Flawlessly beautiful - the reason I still dream An enchantress of myriads, A soul I can't resist And I get lost in The infinite depth of her eyes, Her lips they beckon me, I can only fantasize Words she'd never say to me I drown beneath the waves Though I am caught in The breathlessness that is her stare The way she'd bat her eyes, and wear her flowing hair Though I now long to be free A part of her remains She has molded me... Immaculate as she may be, Shes lost to memory, and I can only dream My later days will favor me To glide those evening skies, To brave those troubled seas
