Calliope

Tonight the moon has rose in a crimson red But roses gotta wither, so I'll live forever instead And now I can't get rid of all of these thorns in my head Bring on the hemorrhaging I guess I'll live inside your memory Another distorted story that ignored the deceased I'll live inside of a castle, pray I'm never released I'd rather kick it in the dungeon, cuz I'm that kind of beast I'll bet my heart on the cards because I trust me the least (Let it die) Pressure mounting, but I'm doomed without it Precious moments zooming by, don't doubt it Rest is ephemeral, scream and shout it The best don't sleep, I was all about it (Let it die) But reaping keeps you tucked in the shadows This creeping feeling of identity battles Closing in on every side of me Red tomorrow, red today Dread, sorrow, can't turn away (Can't turn back...) Time, I'll always be a prisoner to my ambition As petals fly, I'll dance your tune But hold your breath, guess who's running the show? And when this red runs black I'll Ask you, was I everything you imagined? When the time's finally up, the sun's falling down I'll turn to stone again Every day's a fight to stay relevant And it cannot last, so I'll relish it And our planet's vast, but this hole's a ditch Ya toss out the past, and you can strike it rich Nobody asked, but the mask is an alright fit And this fiction's no disaster in spite of it I stay curious, what comes after it? So mysterious, and yet I exist Hold on Stay beautiful, stay young There are blades to be swung yet Rising soon Regard the moon Reflected in the crimson sung tonight Red tomorrow, red today Dread, sorrow, can't turn away (Can't turn back...) Time, I'll always be a prisoner to my ambition As petals fly, I'll dance your tune But hold your breath, guess who's owning the throne? So come alive now Once again, so I can chase you down We are five minutes away from... The end that's come Continue slashing forward I must Or else just fade away There's a drive to strive inside all of us A never-ending ouroboros Sinking way deep down and it's all because I kept thinking that reaping is all there was And is now I gotta find a way out, escape, how? Fate has a funny way of shaking the weak down Am I gonna peak now? Future lookin' bleak, wow Somehow incomplete after all (Can't turn back...) Time, I'll always be a prisoner to my ambition As petals fly, I'll dance your tune Don't hold your breath for me! And when this red runs black I'll Ask you, was I everything you imagined? When my time's finally up, the sun's falling down I'll turn to stone again So come alive now Once again, so I can chase you down We are five seconds away from... The end that's come From here on out, it's only just me and this bloodlust I'd rather just... Fade away
