Sisters of the Shadows

Three stories but nothing to tell

Open and empty, my personal hell

No closet's big enough for all of the corpses

These vaulted ceilings can't handle steel doors

And if only there were a place I could be

If only

Let's sleep beneath a blanket of stars

And dream of a life that ain't so hard

Rainbows reflect in an amber gaze

I want to be lost for the rest of my days

Three stories more at age eleven

Loud and crowded, my slice of heaven

Rooftop access and shaky curfews

A soft secret smile that I never deserved

You showed me a place where I could just be

You showed me

Let's sleep beneath a blanket of stars

And dream of a life that ain't so hard

Rainbows reflect in an amber gaze

I want to be lost for the rest of my days

Lyrics to my anthem.

Storm Cloud

They won't be satisfied 'til we're dead

So let's disappear instead

No more wishing and waiting

For our lives to change

I just need one word

And we'll never be the same

'Cause forever means running from yesterday

And I close my eyes 'neath a blanket of stars

Dreaming of a life that ain't so hard
I think of how rainbows reflect in your gaze

And I can't wait to see

Where you and I will be

'Cause forever means running from yesterday
