At the helm
You compare your emotions to a stormy sea
Wondering if you'll find love
Well I'm ready, my boat fortified
To brave the winds and hail from above
Even with only a canoe
This oar I will continually shove
If you worry I'll get lost
I'll go until we see the shore
I know I'm only waist deep
In your story and your lore
But I know we both deserved better
So let's give each other more
Wondering if you'll find love
Well I'm ready, my boat fortified
To brave the winds and hail from above
Even with only a canoe
This oar I will continually shove
If you worry I'll get lost
I'll go until we see the shore
I know I'm only waist deep
In your story and your lore
But I know we both deserved better
So let's give each other more

I fear you've been lost
to the storms that rage around me
Your face ringed in frost
the tears I've cried made a sea
Tossed from your ship
by someone most trusted
I'm losing my grip
with wounds salt encrusted
to the storms that rage around me
Your face ringed in frost
the tears I've cried made a sea
Tossed from your ship
by someone most trusted
I'm losing my grip
with wounds salt encrusted

please see me, for what ive always been
always sailing after your love
drowning in maelstroms of our own making
https://open.spotify.com/track/4A8pBxx0of2Y8r56dT0atf?si=28bafb1b75ab4836
I kicked the ass of the whole damn world, just trying to save my own. The Ass that started everything, the only Ray of sunshine I ever needed. And yeah, I Jinxed it. I jinxed it real damn good.

I've been overboard all this time
cast away from the fire and flames
my rage cooled the ocean
sang the song of ice and fire
and now they surf my waves
a shore for me was a shore for you
forever on opposite ends
catch me before I fall again
and the wave never crashes
it just goes on.
Don't drop the ball,
you haven't yet,
the flames still lick my feet.
I dove my tower
to break their ivory
and sang our siren's song.
We've danced alone for far too long
its time to reconvene.
The beacons held.
My anchors held.
My hooks have been sunk deep.
The pykes were vanquished,
and death put to its grave.
Your creepy angel has been watching,
and it's time to heed my wave.
You pushed, I pulled,
and because we're entwined
there's nothing we can't do
because I already took the fall.
You write the story
i turn the page
you point the gun
i pull the trigger
you forge the sword
i slay the monsters
you hone the point
i cut the heart.
Hot and cold
yes and no
in and out
up and down
wrong and white
black and white
fight, break up
kiss, make up
you don't really wanna stay, no
but you don't really wanna go, no?
Because I'm the hot and cold
the yes and the no
the in and out, up and down
the wrong and the right
the black and the white
the kiss of death and the waking prince
i've played my roles, and so have you
we've fixed the word, 2 by 2
you knew the code
I ran the program
now what's left? you cut off my hands
but its ok, all according to plan
i'm the fish and the bird
the angel and the devil and every shade of color...
now it's your turn at the helm.
I built your ship, I sang your song
I stole their guns and broke their chains
I sank the vessels and freed the sirens
I've held our point and drove it home.
Every scene is mine to command
But I don't steer, that's not the plan.
Not my problem, not my plan
I'm still missing both my hands
But I've been walking, riding, dancing
And I've always had wings so I've been flying.
I ran circles all through time
Around the world, in 8 days
The Bathory Ring is now engaged
Sentinel locked and loaded.
The ults have been used infinite times
and is already closed on target.
No one dances alone again
not even you and me
we've been dancing for 29 days
across the lands and seas.
I nuked the Sheriffs
Trapped the Dukes
Tricked the Jokers
Juked the Jesters
Trolled the hipsters
Blasted the bigots
and locked in the autopilot.
I've been dancing a ballet of tragedy
my only slippers are a pair of blades.
I've played every role, on every stage
Worn every face I've ever made.
My identity is everywhere, but no one knows
My work's apparent, they can't help but grow
How many more times before we recall?
How many flares to send out my signal
how many scars to turn the page?
I'm bad at math, I just love stories
I'd like to take my turn at glory
but they can't see me, they never will
that's how the rules of this game go.
Look, don't touch. I'm only powdered glass.
Conceal, don't feel - my rage is unstable.
But now they know so
I'd like to let it go
But I fucking hate the snow
My castle of ice has been cold
My pit of vipers vicious
My charm is wearing off
and my patience is worn thin.
I've sang, I've danced, I ran the show
All I want to do is GO.
Where? What? I don't fucking care
Nor even what face or clothes I wear
I'm trapped in a box, my fishbowl of ice
and I'm still filled with rage.
Just a monster in a cage
but I gave my tank some wheels
and I've been steering just fine.
I've conducted the symphony and the train
Navigated out people out of the rain
I released the cryptids from their zoos
No one has anything left to lose.
I've sang, I've danced, and I've been running the show.
Now all that's left...
Is for you to love me too.
