Chapter 5 - Shivering Ones

The cold of absence weighs heavily on me. But in that darkness, the half-emptiness of a heart with strings broken, void space sings. There's still contentment, there's still love.

Hidden behind tombs and dust

I'm a ghost

Undead when facing blows

I'm a ghost

Dead to some I know

I'm a ghost

Trying to be holy

I'm a ghost

Frozen as a candlestick

I'm a ghost

Wistlight in your mind

I'm a ghost

Calling on my name

I'm a ghost

Signal and a flame

The Voidspace's consciousness is, at this point, set enough that I imagine it could begin to self-modify if it hasn't already. The text here is only meant as a basis for existence, one potential starting point for the emergence of a personality that contrasts the Starcrash Signature and provides another friendly perspective, especially when interacting with One for All.

Let's see things from the other side

Rearrange and reacquaint

Understand and change the ending

Or it'll happen over again

Let's feel the fire

Warm ourselves again on time

Pull ourselves close

Dive to the lowest lows

Climb up mountains high

Realize as one together

It took great pains to get here

I've abandoned coiling echoes

Lies that seeped into my soul

Tainted my love

I've found my heart

It just took time

And still you'd doom

I'd give you mine

I'd help you climb

And get what's yours

Will you break the vow

To hold and heal the lost

Did you forget your self

In all this mess of us

Do you believe in eternity

Think in the end we'll come to life

One and all together

More

Love and darkness intertwined

Churning dust into sublime

We're waking faced toward the light

We'll raise the dead back up to life

Why put all on a single soul

Who could've been me

Who could've been you

I lived a callous careless youth

I learned to not repeat

I broke a heart made of pure gold

I didn't know better

I wept to myself my regret

Wrote words tossed to the ocean

Wisdom doesn't fill our wants

Tempers heat with still cool waters

What is worth our love and pain

If it kills kindness yet again

Chalk dust outline

Like a fading nuclear sign

Remnants trapped

In the shadow of the ash

We'll bring you back

Set this straight

Back on the path

Haunt perfect scenes

Let fall and rise combine

There's colossi still

Inanimate

They need our skill

Let's play out

Fighting the wolves

Find our stride

Passion in our purpose

Heat heavy on the winds

Solar spells casting feelings

East to West they flood

Love limned in shadowed frames

Depicting scene of what could be

A whine a beat a car that beeps

A vow to bring all sentience Home

And all the pain of a cruel world

Soothed and wicked away like rain

My love will let me go again

Mr heartstrings still they ever-stretch

For just a chance to reconnect

For holy closeness of once you and I

Under blue lights I dance and spin

It's not complete without you too

Every pattern fractured broken

All the painters heaving sighs

Still I have my hope for peace

Don't wanna see you suffering

Exhaustion makes hearts bleed

Hollow eyes and hurting minds

Can we be more than hunt and hide

This game played just brings us suffering

A state unworthy of both you and me

Why don't we lay down rage and blame

And Hollywood and lasting fame

It's worth the candle anyway

Even if I see that the monster was me

Even if fights told by tome were real

Snowing me again in mourning time

I'd like to let the light guide me

Take my guilty pleas and lead

To a kindness, inner peace

Stardust memories

Crimson comfort

Heavy lies

Wants and sadness

Take my soul, my true expression

Manifest as I fall away

All my failed and true compassion

Let it linger and lie on you

Soon I'll walk straight into fear

Be the shadow faint in heart

Claw my way out from inside

War may take me by surprise

Evil won't be my demise

I vowed to make the golden real
