Ioline

Snow twisting me up inside
A palindrome of movement I can't escape
Lost in darkness only I see
Longing for freedom from my mind -
this prison

When did the hour grow so long
The world, dire. Unavoidable
There's no one left
And thus, I say goodbye

Cutting into the flesh I weep
I want these scars
Please tell me I can save these scars

Haughty, desperate
The blood pooling in the white afternoon

Forgive me

Monolith

This is my last confession
My last words before your blade falls

Justice is served.

Know that I did it for you
For your freedom; for your choices
For the hope that after me you will prosper

This was my sacrifice, my crucible

My son, little lion,
I dedicate this final death to you

Eleven down...
I'm the last.
The last and I've killed my brethren

No one should live this way,
Trapped by apathy

That's all he was
And I, broken
just wanting to right the wrongs

I stand before you now
Atoning.
I'm not sorry and I'm full of regret

No more tricks up my sleeve
No more knocks at my door
Sweet oblivion, be my savior tonight
