Shattered Little Lantern

Death
In my hand
The last hope exhales
Fairytales
Weren't meant
To be told
In Ignorance

Shattered lantern
With a little burnt out flame
Lost in a hysterical quest
For a cure they can't create
Gouged my eyes pretend delusions
Could keep me alive
Eyeless children somehow find
Worlds more than lullabies

Paid
The sins
Of fallen heroes
In blood
In my own
For a chance
For blind hope

Shattered lantern
With a little burnt out flame
Lost in a hysterical quest
For a cure they can't create
Gouged my eyes pretend delusions
Could keep me alive
Eyeless children somehow find
Worlds more than lullabies

Illusions lost memories I see within
Each flower
Will the stars
Have mercy
Despite frail
Tragedy
Was I worth guiding

Shattered lantern
With a little burnt out flame
Lost in a hysterical quest
For a cure they can't create
Gouged my eyes pretend delusions
Could keep me alive
Eyeless children somehow find
Worlds more than lullabies
