Little King

I ask you now little king
What song does your heart truly sing
Would you answer me one simple wonder
Or punish me for this atrocious blunder
For many ask outrageous lines
And leave little open for curious minds
Like how the world chose its course
Or why you insist on a course of force
Am I not right in assuming these things
That you use your words to call death on metal wings
Or sit in silence as your people scream
Is it not all as it seems?
So I ask again my little dictator
What was it like to watch your country burn, to forsake her?

Limitations

Wrapped in your imagination
now coconed in their lies
you storm through your limitations
placed on you by jealous eyes

drowned by their sorrow
hurt by their pain
now you feel hollow
as you stand in the rain

poor you do you feel hated?
lost and alone in this sad world
by disasters you are haunted
in lies you are twirled.

let me help you
let me show you how i flew
the only way you will breakthrough
is if you show your virtue

Fragile

Don’t look further than my shell
I don’t want you to see my inner hell
Nothing I feel compares
To the way your love scares

Don’t get too close to the flame
I don’t want to be the one to blame
When I break and react
You will get attacked that’s a fact

Don’t search too hard to find me
I don’t want you to see what I can be
If I lose control and let it appear
I don’t want you to have that fear

I warned you to stay away
I didn’t want you to have to pay
But still you came and attacked my walls
And now that devil has all the calls

Pedestal

I sit upon a pedestal
Of the once so proud and haughty fool
And watch the day die to night
In a painful blood red light
I ask the fools who place me here
Do you truly not yet fear?
That a fall from heights such as these
Will bring a nation to its knees
They laugh and mock and disbelieve
Yet I wonder now why I do not leave
This place where idiots sit on thrones
To fly or flee to a place I can be alone
Where my actions hold my shame or fame
Yet none can blame their actions on my name
A place where I am my own to rule
Not a scapegoat on a forsaken pedestal

Caged

Broken by their word
you try, oh, try to fly
you are but a caged bird
who looks longing to the sky.

Kept under lock and key
your freedom denined
oh poor little birdie
so many rules you must abide

Where will you hide
when there a four walls cutting your flight
your wings left untried
will your soul survive this blight?

She broke your bonds
little birdie now fly free
to her words your heart responds
Fly free out of this doomed city

Hidden Gem

He struts around head held high
Making all the girls swoon and sigh
But to me he’s just another boy
And everyone knows I’m no-ones toy

He turns as his friends call
Strolling down the glittering hall
At home in this golden place
Avoiding girls covered in silks and lace

But though all the girls that drool
I can’t help but think him cruel
Because it doesn’t matter what they wish
As I’m the only one he’ll kiss

Yep I got the golden kid
Although because of my feelings I ran and hid
But in the dark and chilling room
Our true love finally starts to bloom

Death God

Unnoticed in human sight
Saw only in the blind dark
Invisible to those who see light
Hidden until you start that spark

I am something lost
I am the one they fear
If you see you will pay the cost
Only the evil will I go near

I am the one with wings
I am punishments blade
Your death my voice sings
To me your debts are paid

But one gets bored of the black
Of the emptiness and the pain
Been so long since I felt what I lack
The dullness drives me insane

Never Was Worth It

The question never was ‘can I stay? '
Because I am me and I would find a way
To stay by you side without this lie
But would it be worth the tears I cry?

You said you would always be there
Said that you would always care
So where are you now my dear?
Because I can't feel you near

I stay where I believed you were
Hoping your presence would cure
The voices that told me you cared not
But they spoke truth, you have forgot

I told them I would never be alone
But it seems there was no truth in your tone
So I fight no more to stand by your side
You weren't worth the tears I cried

A Child - Like Love

Now you have lost me
Because you kept me in a cage
You couldn’t just leave me be
No more will I stand on that stage

You held me too tight
Choked out my life
You said you’d love me right
But you loved me like a knife

You were obsessive possessive
Your love trapped me like a chain
Your light was oppressive
But you never wanted to see me in pain

I know you loved me
But you need to let me go
For now, my pain, you see
But it’s not all your fault, I know

Bliss

Would you hold me close?
When I'm feeling low and morose
Give me my daily dose of feeling warm
Without feeling ruined and torn
Let my wings spread through the sky
See through my protective lie
And promise me nothing more or less
Than to help me when I'm in a mess
Could you read my lips and prevent my tears
Let me fight my battles but still help me overcome my fears
Can I ask this of you, for you to be true
And help me finally push through
This sheet of glass that holds my heart
And show me life between the end and the start
Because if you can I will ask you this
Can you show me this so called bliss?
