The Fall of the Copper Queen
We’re the last bastion of sanity
In a world that’s gone fucking crazy
When they realize that we were right along,
Will it be too late
To neutralize hate
To tear down the wall
To vomit out the chemical candy they feed to the kids?
Can this land be reclaimed after what they did?
Or when the dust and the blood rise…
Will it never fall?
Spreading across the sky
A thousand birds of prey
The barrier grown so high
We’re claustrophobic
Trapped inside a mind we made
Shrinking in a mind decayed
We’re shaking
We’re breaking now
Who will take her place
To drown the sins we’ve seen
Will it wash away our face
When no one’s hands are clean
Everybody run
We knew the day would come
The tidal wave it brings
It’s the fall of the Copper Queen
They can burn it down
They can use its name
Pretend the counterfeit’s the same
Try to blind our eyes
Numb our fears
This stupor’s grown over months and years
We chose a hand to raise
We chose a hand to hold
We warn of end of days
With flames and bullet holes
And the blood pours from the inside
Spilling from wounds we can’t hide
Til we’re drowning in the flow
And there’s nowhere left to go.

Shadowstars
The shadow stars that pulled me in
Took me too far to darkened heaven
A constellation you can’t name
Arranged itself, shaping blame
A galaxy of infamy
The stormy blue that held the sky
For me and you was always dry
Could not deny
How the orbit turned the tide
Brought out what lived inside
Revolution around the sun
Melts confusion; I’ve only begun
To see what’s elemental or accidental
Making the sun rise over shadow stars
I found the ground was greener than
It seemed before that Sunday when
We feared the end
Then the orbit turned the tide

Swallow

That first bite always tastes like something real
Thick and sweet the satisfaction that we feel
So well disguised the poison
Unrecognized the reason
Only time will reveal
They tried to feed us something I can't swallow
They tried to lead us to a trained tomorrow
And once it's in the blood distorted days are all we see
We cannot get enough, and we follow where they lead
To candy-coated sweet believing, til our decayed hearts stop beating.
I'd rather starve; my lean and hungry mind is clear
Won’t be a part of a banquet made of fear
Their heartless harvest growing sparser year by year

End My Life

End my Life
There are only snipers
Waiting for my skin
No heart is open
To hide me in
I tread upon vipers
Let the teeth sink in
Venom and vengeance
Can never win
Chorus:
Come end my life
Will it bring you peace?
Bear your knife and give relief
It come to me, sets me free,
You'll be here alone, on fire
So come end my life.
False fantasies of me
Fill your mind
How it would be
If I'd stay in line
Cold revelations
Harden your soul
Things that I gave him
You'll never hold
Chorus
Here I stand the constant prey
You think I'm alive this way?

Epilogue
And the day comes like the one before
Not like the lightning bolt that we were waiting for
And the night always promises more
But now we’ve lived, and now we know
It’s only another tomorrow
The glass with no bottom
The sun with no horizon
All the chapters long forgotten
All the mysteries misbegotten now
We’ve been raised on fairy tales
Never thinking villains often win
When the lies and feelings fail
And the happy ever after turns grim
That’s when life can begin again.
Then the time comes
Like the times before
Not like the final curtain at the end of the show
The glass with no bottom
The sun with no horizon
All the chapters long forgotten
All the mysteries misbegotten now
We’ve been raised on fairy tales
Never thinking villains often win
When the lies and feelings fail
And the happy ever after turns grim
That’s when life can begin again.
Here on the last page
We’re in the last stage
The stark white beyond the end
We’re living in an epilogue.
