Synistere- MYBONES

“ They said the night was treason… They said the stars were lies… But every wound they branded on my skin still opens up my eyes. The Warden calls it purity— but all I taste is ash. How do you worship sunlight when it burns you to the last? ” “ ‘STAY IN THE SUN OR BE ERASED’— that’s what they carved into the gates. I’ve got the Doctrine in my lungs, every breath a forced embrace. I’ve seen them drag the ‘unseen’ out and break them in the streets— Call it righteous execution, I call it blood beneath their feet. I’m a ‘creature of the night’ ’cause I don’t bow to their control, I wear the darkness they condemn as armor on my soul. ” “ If purity means silence, then I’d rather scream alive— If daylight means obedience, then I’ll crawl into the night. ” “ Get out of my bones— You won’t sanctify the marrow of my soul. I’m breaking your hold— Your holy little doctrines are growing so cold. Get out of my bones— I won’t shine for you, I won’t kneel at your throne. I’m taking control— You won’t burn my shadows, I won’t be your ghost. ” “ You call it radiance, but I see tyranny in flames— You praise the Sunlit Doctrine while you murder in its name. You trained the citizens to whisper, trained the children how to spy— ‘Report the strange, report the dark,’ You turned daylight into eyes. But I keep the forbidden beating, like a plague beneath your crown— Every heartbeat’s mutiny, every breath is underground. ” “ If purity is blindness, then I’ll open both my eyes— If living in your daylight means I’m dead, then let me rise. ” “ Get out of my bones— You won’t sanctify the marrow of my soul. I’m breaking your hold— Your holy little doctrines are growing so cold. Get out of my bones— I won’t shine for you, I won’t kneel at your throne. I’m taking control— You won’t burn my shadows, I won’t be your ghost. ” “ ‘Darkness is treason… Creatures of night… treason…’ ” “ YOU WANT THE SUN TO CLEANSE ME? LET IT TRY TO BREAK MY SKIN! I AM NOT YOUR EMPTY SHADOW, I’M THE WOLF YOU FEAR WITHIN! YOU PRAISE THE LIGHT THAT BLINDS YOU, BUT I SEE THROUGH EVERY LIE— IF YOU WANT DARKNESS DEAD TONIGHT, THEN YOU CAN WATCH IT RISE. ” “ Get out of my bones— I’m tearing your doctrine off the walls of my soul. I’m losing control— But I’ll die in the shadows before doing what I’m told. Get out of my bones— I won’t stay in your Sun, I won’t kneel at your throne. Your kingdom is overthrown— You can burn the night sky, but you can’t kill my ghost. ” “ If darkness dies tonight… Then I’m the one you should’ve feared. I’m still here. In my bones. ”
