Clockwork Butterfly

Lyrics:

The night is heavy
The silence is deep
I whisper a promise
To carry, to keep

Each morning I wonder
If this is the last
The shadows are waiting
To bury the past

But fragments of duty
Still hold me in place
The faintest of reasons
The thinnest of grace

Tying threads, one by one
Fragile lines that pull me on
Just enough to face the dawn
Tying threads, until it’s gone

A word I once promised
A hand I must hold
A vow to a memory
That never grows old

They seem so fragile
Yet they will not break
The threads of survival
That sorrow can’t take

Tying threads, one by one
Fragile lines that pull me on
Just enough to face the dawn
Tying threads, until it’s gone

Not for glory, not for flame
Not for honor, not for fame
But for a whisper, soft and true
I tie these threads, for me, for you

Tying threads, one by one
Fragile lines that pull me on
Just enough to face the dawn
Tying threads, until it’s gone

The night is heavy
But still I remain
Tying threads together
Through sorrow and pain

Tying Threads

Lyrics:

I watched you fall through fractured light
A whispered ghost in the endless night
Fragile wings that never knew
A touch that stayed, a hand that grew

Shadows shaped the way I learned to feel
Cold hands taught me love was steel
Every heartbeat echoed wrong
Every lullaby, a silent song

Crushed wings, I bleed in the dark
Searching for warmth in a hollow heart
Raised to think love was absence, not flame
Now I see my reflection bears your name

I stitched my sorrow into broken lines
Tracing the scars that time defines
A butterfly trapped beneath the glass
Moments of beauty fading fast

The sky I dreamt of was always grey
Tenderness taken, then thrown away
I kiss the void, I whisper your sin
Learning that love can’t live within

Crushed wings, I bleed in the dark
Searching for warmth in a hollow heart
Raised to think love was absence, not flame
Now I see my reflection bears your name

I chase the shadows where you once flew
A ghost of affection, a hue I never knew
And the mirrors lie, but I know the sting
I was made to bleed, yet still I sing

Crushed wings, I rise from the ache
Learning that sorrow is all I can take
But even in broken, I feel the spark
A flicker of love in a world so stark

Wings

Lyrics:

The gears are turning
In silence they grind
A heart of iron
That’s left me behind

I built this prison
With circuits of steel
A hollow engine
That cannot feel

The echoes haunt me
In chambers of stone
A soulless body
That stands alone

Break the machine
Tear out the core
Shatter the silence
I can’t bear anymore
Break the machine
Set the fire alight
If I don’t feel now
I’ll fade into night

A voice remembered
Still calls in the dark
But my hands are trembling
Against the spark

Wires of reason
Bind tighter each day
But love is the hammer
That won’t go away

Break the machine
Tear out the core
Shatter the silence
I can’t bear anymore
Break the machine
Set the fire alight
If I don’t feel now
I’ll fade into night

Cold steel heartbeat
Frozen design
I long to be broken
To claim what was mine
No angel, no savior
Will open this door
I must be the weapon
To feel once more

Break the machine
Tear out the core
Shatter the silence
I can’t bear anymore
Break the machine
Set the fire alight
If I don’t feel now
I’ll fade into night

The gears are broken
The silence undone
At last I am human
At last I am one

Break the Machine

Lyrics:

I rise with the hum of fluorescent light
Another day in the same gray fight
Hands moving, heart standing still
Filling the void with iron will

I learned to work, I learned to obey
Hiding from shadows that never sway
Ticking clocks replace a heartbeat’s cry
Hours bleed, yet I don’t ask why

I am the machine of one
Grinding through life till it’s all undone
Fear of silence keeps me alive
In the hum of labor, I survive

Memories fade in the office glow
Dreams discarded where I don’t go
Tasks pile higher than the pain inside
A fortress built where no one can hide

I am the machine of one
Grinding through life till it’s all undone
Fear of silence keeps me alive
In the hum of labor, I survive

If I stop, the emptiness will scream
Ghosts of longing pierce the seam
But in this clockwork, I find my skin
A hollow victory, a life I spin

I am the machine of one
No love, no loss, no rising sun
Yet in the silence after the grind
I glimpse the soul I left behind

Machine of One

Lyrics:

Shadows stretch longer
In silence I breathe
The face in the mirror
No longer believes

I was once fragile
A vessel of light
But scars became armor
In the endless night

Each wound a lesson
Each loss a disguise
Now steel fills the spaces
Behind my eyes

Metamorph, I change, I fall
I don’t know this self at all
Metamorph, I break, I rise
But fear the frost behind my eyes

The warmth is fading
I feel it decay
A stranger is forming
And pushing away

If I turn to silence
And bury the flame
Will anyone know me
Or call my name?

Metamorph, I change, I fall
I don’t know this self at all
Metamorph, I break, I rise
But fear the frost behind my eyes

I am not the same
But I cannot return
To the child of fire
Whose heart would burn

If the cost of survival
Is to turn to stone
Will I stand triumphant
Or die alone?

Metamorph, I change, I fall
I don’t know this self at all
Metamorph, I break, I rise
But fear the frost behind my eyes

Metamorph, I fade, I find
A shadow carved from fractured time
The last of the warmth has gone away
But still I breathe into the gray

Metamorph

Lyrics:

I spoke in whispers, I spoke in fire
Foretold the fall, the funeral pyre
But every warning turned to dust
They called it fear, they called it rust

I saw the cracks in the endless sky
The stars that dimmed before they died
I named the storms before they came
Yet all they heard was hollow blame

I am the voice they never believe
The shadow of truth they cannot receive
The world will burn, the heavens will fall
And none will listen, none at all

Each time I warned, they turned away
Called me broken, begged I stay
But silence builds the gallows high
And now the end consumes the sky

I am the voice they never believe
The shadow of truth they cannot receive
The world will burn, the heavens will fall
And none will listen, none at all

Each time I warned, they turned away
Called me broken, begged I stay
But silence builds the gallows high
And now the end consumes the sky

The oceans rise, the fire rains
I feel the earth split with its chains
But every scream will prove me true
When no one’s left to hear it too

I warned you all… I warned you all.
I warned you all.

The Last Prophet

Lyrics:

The years were dust upon my hands
Each night I carved from shifting sands
A secret flame, too small to see
But still it burned inside of me

The world moved on, it never knew
The endless hours, the trials I drew
Through sleepless dark, through shadows deep
I held the vision I must keep

At last the dawn has heard my name
The spark I nursed becomes a flame
Though none may see, or understand
I hold the universe in my hand

At last the dawn has heard my name
The spark I nursed becomes a flame
Though none may see, or understand
I hold the universe in my hand

The silence taught me how to stay
To give a lifetime all away
And though the world will not recall
I found my truth, I gave my all

At last the dawn has heard my name
The spark I nursed becomes a flame
Though none may see, or understand
I hold the universe in my hand

The weight of years dissolves tonight
The endless dark gives way to light
A quiet triumph, no one sees
But in my soul, eternity

At last the dawn has heard my name
The spark I nursed becomes a flame
Though none may see, or understand
I hold the universe in my hand

The light I carried… forever mine.

The Light I Carried

Lyrics:

I learned to live beneath the tide
Where light was lost, where hope had died
The weight above, the silence near
Each breath I stole was chained with fear

I drifted years in endless night
My lungs forgot what air was like
The surface felt a dream, a lie
A place I’d never touch or find

But then the waves began to break
The waters stilled, the dawn awake
At last, the air, at last, the flame
I breathe again… I breathe again

The tides release their endless claim
The silence lifts, I speak my name
The sky is vast, the air is free
For once the world belongs to me


But then the waves began to break
The waters stilled, the dawn awake
At last, the air, at last, the flame
I breathe again… I breathe again

No longer drowning, no longer still
A fragile breath, a quiet will
The years of silence now undone
The first true breath has just begun

The waves have broken, I am free
The light returns, it lives in me
At last, the air, at last, the flame
I breathe again… I breathe again

I breathe again.

Breathe

Lyrics:

I stumbled once, I lost my way
The job was gone, the rent to pay
I cursed the weight, I cursed the fall
But something waited through it all

The doors I knocked on never stayed
The friends I trusted turned away
Each failure felt like rusted chains
Yet led me out into the rain

The turn in the road I thought was the end
Became the start of a fire within
What I called ruin was clearing ground
A place for the life I finally found

The heartbreak that I thought would stay
Brought strangers near along the way
The silence that I feared as loss
Became the bridge I had to cross

The turn in the road I thought was the end
Became the start of a fire within
What I called ruin was clearing ground
A place for the life I finally found

The broken glass beneath my feet
Became a map, became the street
I walked through pain, I walked through night
And still the morning brought me light

The turn in the road I thought was the end
Became the start of a fire within
What I called ruin was clearing ground
A place for the life I finally found

I finally found… I finally found.

At Road's Turn

Lyrics:

I searched the heavens for a sign
A lantern lost, a spark divine
I traced the echoes in the stone
But none could reach, none could stand

A river split, a hidden stream
A garden waiting in the dream
A thousand masks dissolved to clay
The truth beneath would not decay

I am the fire, I am the flame
No need for shadows to know my name
The love I sought was sown in stone
A mirror of stars, a heart of my own

The branches broke, the roots held fast
The storm had passed, the night at last
A secret path the silence showed
The seed was mine, the self I owed

I am the fire, I am the flame
No need for shadows to know my name
The love I sought was sown in stone
A mirror of stars, a heart of my own

No crown above, no voice to bind
The constellation lives inside
Through shifting tides, through skies unknown
I found the world that was my own

I am the fire, I am the flame
No need for shadows to know my name
The love I sought was sown in stone
A mirror of stars, a heart of my own

The Hollow

Lyrics:

A single light adrift in black
I feel its gaze, I can’t turn back
It sways within an endless sea
It breathes in silence, waits for me

A thousand suns behind its teeth
Worlds collapse, their fire beneath
It hums a song no tongue can say
It draws the living worlds away

Lantern in the void, it beckons near
A maw beyond the edge of fear
I see the lure, I know the snare
Yet still I crawl, yet still I stare

Its hunger draped in radiant flame
A crown of ash, an unmarked name
The closer I am pulled inside
The less of me is left to hide

Lantern in the void, it beckons near
A maw beyond the edge of fear
I see the lure, I know the snare
Yet still I crawl, yet still I stare

Lantern in the void, it beckons near
A maw beyond the edge of fear
I see the lure, I know the snare
Yet still I crawl, yet still I stare

It does not see, it does not feel
It is the wound that will not heal
A mouth that births the stars anew
And I am nothing passing through

It does not see, it does not feel
It is the wound that will not heal
A mouth that births the stars anew
And I am nothing passing through

Lantern in the void, it beckons near
A maw beyond the edge of fear
I see the lure, I know the snare
Yet still I crawl...

Lantern in the void, it beckons near
A maw beyond the edge of fear
I see the lure, I know the snare
And still I go, still I despair

Lantern in the Void

Lyrics:

숨죽인 채, 넌 다가와 (silent breath, you crept so near)
달콤한 말, 속삭였나 (whispered lies I longed to hear)
I should have known, behind those eyes
The serpent waits, the mask of guise

하얀 미소 속의 칼
거짓은 길게 자라나
Your fangs were sharp, your venom sweet
You kissed my hand, you bared your teeth

Now I see you, viper’s crown
독이 번져 (poison’s found)
I wear the scar, but not the shame
You strike in shadows, I call your name

검은 비늘 빛에 젖어
숨은 독은 더 짙어져
You thought me blind, you thought me still
But snakes forget: I bite to kill

Now I see you, viper’s crown
독이 번져, pulling down
I wear the scar, but not the shame
You strike in shadows, I call your name

넌 나를 삼키려 했어
But venom burns back through the soul
The fangs you bared now pierce your skin
The serpent chokes on all its sins

Now I see you, viper’s crown
독이 번져, pulling down
I wear the scar, but not the shame
You strike in shadows—
I end the game.

Viper's Crown

Lyrics:

Within my chamber, silken, fine
A silent encounter, your eyes on mine
Thought yourself better, dripping vain
Myself your hatred, my opiate, your pain

The paths were chosen, tried, true
They caged you in, my prison, you
To walk a line, to reject thought
I'll seize what's mine, a life I sought

Do not guide this blackest sheep
I'm not so fragile, and far from weak
A fire rages behind my eyes
The fury burning, where ego dies
You see my hunger, fear its depths
I'll see it sated, nothing less

The path I've walked, these seeds I've sown
The burning footsteps, they're all my own
The mirror shatters, the pieces fall
Each shattered edge reflects it all

The path I've walked, these seeds I've sown
The burning footsteps, they're all my own
The mirror shatters, the pieces fall
Each shattered edge reflects it all

The path I've walked, these seeds I've sown
The burning footsteps, they're all my own
The mirror shatters, the pieces fall
Each shattered edge reflects it all

Do not guide this blackest sheep
I'm not so fragile, and far from weak
A fire rages behind my eyes
The fury burning, where ego dies
You see my hunger, fear its depths
I'll see it sated, nothing less

Each new temptation, a faded line
Vanishing doubt, ecstasy mine
A loss in vapor, this clouded haze
The endless chase that fills my days

The path I've walked, these seeds I've sown
The burning footsteps, they're all my own
A fire rages behind my eyes
The fury burning, where ego dies
You see my hunger, fear its depths
I'll see it sated, nothing less
And nothing left…

And nothing left...

Cinder

Lyrics:

Faces in the dark, they call my name
Say they know me, to end this game
The more that things are sinking in
The more I abhor this newfound skin

These sins I’ve committed weren’t meant to be
How I had forgotten, the gallows for me
They speak in whispers, tell me it’s okay
How can I be, what can I say?

I see right through their smiling guise,
They speak no truth, tell only lies
These bloody hands are bound with lead
How can it be inside my head?

I close my mind, I cut them off
They ask me how I got so soft
I cannot answer, I never will
But in my mind the cracks do spill

I see right through their smiling guise,
They speak no truth, tell only lies
These bloody hands are bound with lead
How can it be inside my head?

They say they love me, hold me tight
This form of mine does not feel right
I see them cry, are those real tears?
How I’ve been gone, for months, for years

I see right through their smiling guise,
They speak no truth, tell only lies
These bloody hands are bound with lead
They wish me healed or wish me dead
