Lonely in the morning rays,
Blurred in a misty haze
Reminiscing moonless nights,
Fading rosy lights
A soulless serpent in the day,
A crying canary in the dark,
A devilish screech on plum lips,
A panicked stutter on sharp teeth.
No one, see my hidden mark
No one, I say, enter the chasm beneath.
Keep your eyes on my flowers of fire
Keep your gaze on my iron walls-
As I build them higher.
Raging in the sunlit hours,
Caged with cursed powers,
Avert your eyes from my springs of sadness
Avert your gaze from my cracked windows-
Gashed with madness.
Everyone,
I am obsidian
in a ruby tower
Everyone,
I am just a blackbird
in a phoenix's armour
Push the anger I chase after,
For I am simply a despairing charmer.
