Witch Hunt

I wake up and the world turns black.
On the day I was born, they prepared my plaque.
Scheming whispers slowly creep,
and now of the darkness I do reek.
When did I become the monster that I am?
Forever and ever or am I the lamb?
Was I a witch before they burned me, or did I submit to be free?
When did I become the monster that I am?
Forever and ever or am I the lamb?
Was I a witch before they burned me, or did I submit to be free?
I can't recall the origin of my accursed heart.
Too much time spent fighting not to fall apart.
So hard I try to save myself yet somehow I know,
I need your help.

What is the secret of this world?
When all this time only darkness has unfurled.
Musicbox, Musicbox sing with me,
Musicbox,Musicbox paint for me,
I see the world through Musicbox eyes,
and now I’m free from my own lies.
A lonely waste of endless cruelty,
alone it seemed that’s all it would be.
Shed this armour from my skin,
With mere secrets we cannot win
We need no longer fear the wall,
We have climbed and seen it all.
Musicbox, Musicbox, dance with me,
Musicbox, Musicbox, teach me to be free.
I see the world through Musicbox eyes,
and now I’m free from all the lies.

The Whisperer's Dream
03:16

The land of Everwinter, only mentioned in a whisper.
Misty water coloured memories, destroyed by all my duties.
Free of judgement, free of crime.
In my dreams I float through time.
Always free but never me.
He was the one with whom I thought all destruction could be fought
These waves of darkest night my heart consume.
Only in dreams is there no doom.
In the place of rules and discipline, all men can see is my deepest sin.
Free of judgement, free of crime.
In my dreams I float through time.
Always free but never...never...never ever me.
These waves of brightest light my soul consume.
Only in life eternal doom.
Sorrow in my eyes does gleam, I must return to the Whisperer's Dream.

Erased

Erased from all existence, my face cannot be found.
So happy you can’t see me, though I am all around.
Hiding in the jungle, you run from failure.
Anything to avoid this, so replace me now, replace me with your saviour.
Trapped in my body, trapped in my mind.
Erased from the universe, forgotten through time.
Sweet dreams in your illusion my love, preferring always to be numb.
To my great confusion my love, preferring never to succumb
Trapped in my body, trapped in my mind.
Erased from the universe, forgotten through time
Trapped in my memory, trapped in my crimes.
Erased from the universe, erased from mankind.
Begging, begging for mercy but no.
Harsh and wild and free, you always go.
Trapped in my memory, trapped in my crimes.
Erased from the universe, erased from mankind.
Begging, begging for mercy but no.
Harsh and wild and free, you always go.
Trapped in my memory, trapped in my crimes.
Erased from the universe, erased from mankind.
Begging, begging for mercy but no.
Harsh and wild and free, I must let go.

Tomorrow.
Tomorrow, I’ll be someone else.
I can’t help myself.
I’m lost again.
I’ll try again.
Promise.
Promise that you’ll love me now.
Even if you know I’m foul.
Forevermore.
That’s all I’ve ever wanted.
Someday.
Someday, I might try to leave again.
I can’t help myself.
Don’t let me go.
I can’t say goodbye.
