sometimes i just can't help myself

i seem to lose grip on reality

believe me, i tried

all i needed was the last thing i wanted

my mind kept playing tricks on me

took everything i had not to crash and burn

i might be lonely but i ain't alone here

i can be better than i was

i can be better than i am

i'm not too sure what i'm supposed to do with this

can't let go of the hatred

i wouldn't take back a moment

i'd walk into the fire

i find solace in the pain

i'm the end of the world

feels like i'm stuck here suspended

what's wrong with me?

i'm hopelessly hopeful

got an itch for something painful

the world isn't all it's cracked up to be

so, you're the kings?

there's only one throne and i'm not done with it

where did it go so wrong?

there's too much noise

i can't take it

feel free to try your best

just sit the fuck down

rise up, take back control

it's all so enticing

bring the house down

stand up and scream it loud

just wait and see

just sit and breathe

your ego's distorted

dream in peace

sleep and you'll know the truth

you're not alone

your truth is wrong

it's best to accept it

no sense in resisting

they know the outcome

they hold the keys

[redemptioninterlude]

oh, oh, oh! taemin still stands, as dark as a shadow, as lonely as one too. or not! alice thinks that he pairs himself quite well within his ELEGANT ESCAPE, how dreams and nightmares compliment each cut of his cheekbones and drawl of his tongue. she misses him because it sticks ; or maybe she's changing? growing, a monster too, the wings he one thought she had, perhaps, a reminder to her of how much they might have never been there to begin with. a confused, mad girl caught in purgatory and sin, clutching to the keys of hearts that might never, ever open. what a life it was! what things she now grasped onto, that felt like they were hers, rather than alice's alone.

there comes a laugh from her - "did i? i hoped i would. you can't find those that don't want to be, though! maybe i was just here, waiting for a sign, trying to remind you that i'm still here, still existing. maybe i'm not THE ORIGINAL ALICE, but i'm the alice that i've chosen to become. maybe i want to show off? ah! ego! that's something new too!" how pleased, that oscillating slant of her voice turns to, before it's all on him again. "well. i can't say i haven't seen other devils, monsters, and things within a dream that have picked up on things that were meant for you. rude, isn't it? taking things that aren't yours. but i wouldn't worry too much. i knew they weren't you. i couldn't quite make out all of it, of you... but the pieces are there. let's just say, they didn't feel the way you felt. and that was enough for me to know better."

CHANGE  IS  ALWAYS  AROUND  THE  CORNER  —  what  a  simplistic  phrase  ,  but  fits  the  ever  shifting  tides  of  existence  .  perhaps  this  is  something  that  humans  could  never  dare  to  understand  ,  but  for  those  with  eternities  behind  and  hope  before  them  ,  change  is  inevitable  .  to  expect  any  less  of  alice  would  be  foolish  and  naive  .  ❛      —  you  and  me  both  ,  maybe      ❜  he  can  feel  his  words  ink  out  into  the  air  between  them  ,  but  the  callous  smile  often  so  …  present  upon  his  features  is  faded  ,  lost  to  the  black  surroundings  of  the  shadows  .

❛      i  don’t  think  you’ll  find  anyone  quite  like  me  ,  alice  —  and  trust  me  ,  that  may  be  for  the  best  .      ❜  and  not  just  for  her  but  many  other  creatures  thriving  in  the  world  ,  the  folded  realities  in  between  ,  and  the  depths  of  realms  beyond  anyone’s  understanding  -  it  would  be  for  the  best  .  after  all  ,  what  would  happen  if  the  gates  to  hell  were  opened  and  nobody  was  capable  of  slamming  them  shut  ?  any  creature  capable  would  flee  to  that  which  they  are  familiar  with  .  they  would  land  in  hell  ,  the  nether  ,  or  nightmares  just  like  the  one  settled  in  his  mind  . he  steps  forward  ,  breaking  the  void  between  them  until  he  is  mere  inches  away  ,  studying  her  with  the  same  sense  of  familiarity  ,  but  also  ?  a  welcomed  change  as  well  .  ❛      so  ,  alice  ,  why  don’t  you  tell  me  how  you’ve  changed  since  we  last  met  ?      ❜

SLEEPING AT LAST: ATLAS I STARTERS (PART II)

a collection of lyrics from the Sleeping At Last album, Atlas I. change & alter as needed.

“We made our families proud, but scared at the same time.”

“We promised we’d be safe.” 

“Another lie from the front lines.”

“Lay your weapons down!” 

“They’re calling off the war, on account of losing track of what we’re fighting for.”

“Let the brokenness be felt until you reach the other side.”

“There is goodness in the heart of every broken man who comes right up to the edge of losing everything he has.”

“We’re young enough to try to build a better life.”

“I don’t know who I am, but now I know who I’m not.”

“Make my messes matter. Make this chaos count.”

“You taught me the courage of stars before you left — how light carries on endlessly, even after death.”

“How rare and beautiful it is to even exist.”

“I’d give anything to hear you say it one more time.”

“How rare and beautiful it truly is that we exist.”

“If brokenness is a form of art, I must be a poster-child prodigy.”

“If brokenness is a work of art, surely this must be my masterpiece.”

“I’m only honest when it rains — if I time it right, the thunder breaks when I open my mouth.”

“I want to love you, but I don’t know how.”

“Show me where my armor ends. Show me where my skin begins.”

“The heaviness that I hold in my heart has been crushing me.”

“I’ve been worried all my life.”

“I’ve always been afraid of heights.”

“We will call this place our home.”

“Smaller than dust on this map lies the greatest thing we have — the dirt in which our roots may grow, and the right to call it home.”

“Some truths are sharper than knives.”

“No matter what category you fit into, truth has got its sights set on you.”

“If truth is north, then I am true south.”

“I can’t figure it out. God knows I’ve tried.”

“Some truths are sewn into our DNA.”

“Kids will be kids.”

“I want to remember how to feel like I did.”

“We’ll be just fine. I know that we will. I just know that we will.”

“Time moves slow when half of your heart has yet to come home.”

“I can’t get you out of my mind.”

[redemptioninterlude]

is she? maybe that's a good thing, a bad thing, her grin hangs by a thread with a laugh that tugs persistent. the look on his face tells her enough, those flickers of his gaze, the glory of a thing made to serve the DEVIL'S PURPOSE. the laugh is warm and pleased for the simple fact that she was able to see him again and here she thought it was impossible! was that not proof that perhaps her fractured memories could persist into something that might be worthwhile, here?

"i'm just happy i REMEMBER YOUR FACE!" wasn't she pleased for it? shouldn't he be, as well? there he walks, a god of death that couldn't feed her the same fitting ending, she sighs for it. "well, it's hard to say! what life is this?" her blue eyes narrow within a cheshire cat's grin that suits her oh so well. "but i know little things. we're not really friends. you eat things that i've left behind or haven't gotten to. you're in between. you sit in a place akin to hell. and we. we have a connection, don't we? the rest is just waiting to be discovered! which was why i had to seek you out. what. did you not see the crumbs and clues i've been leaving behind for you?"

PERHAPS  THESE  ARE  THINGS  HE  DIDN’T  MISS  ,  the  word  games  ,  the  antics  ,  the  roundabout  yet  straight  to  the  point  statements  .  the  smile  upon  her  lips  is  as  dangerous  and  cunning  as  he  remembers  ,  but  yet  ?  she  is  happy  to  see  him  ,  but  there’s  something  beyond  his  presence  that  makes  him  realize  this  .  something  that  rifles  within  her  mind  and  the  madness  that  seeps  through  every  pore  .  he’d  lost  her  long  ago  ,  he’d  returned  to  hell  to  ensure  the  gates  remained  shut  on  both  sides  and  conquered  his  supposed  quest  .  the  world  is  where  it  should  be  .

yet  —  as  she  states  so  clearly  —  he  is  trapped  in  between  both  realms  ,  struggling  to  yank  at  strings  to  pull  him  to  shore  . ❛      and  seek  you  out  you  did  —  you  found  me      ❜  or  perhaps  he  found  her  ,  the  wiles  of  alice  were  always  easy  for  him  to  find  ,  as  easy  as  they  were  to  avoid  too  ,  when  necessary  ,  he  remembers  well  what’s  transpired  ,  though  his  memory  burns  of  hellfire  ,  she  has  remained  a  constant  .  this  is  all  despite  the  nonsense  that  seems  to  follow  ,  ❛      i  followed  and  found  you  ,  but  your  bread  crumbs  ?  what  if  i  wasn’t  the  only  one  looking  ?      ❜

[vensperus]

THE CAMBION CAN FEEL IT just as she does — but death doesn’t ripple through his skin and bones . it cauterizes before numbness takes hold and the feeling drags taemin’s gaze sharp to the ground . what else can he say to explain to lydia that the world is meant to be this way ? that opening the gates of hell will only add to the pain and suffering that has her struggling upon her knees ? it’s the war of whispers in his head that commands he follow her , but he knows all too well that the banshee signifies death , and he doesn’t want to be the one to toss that upon her shoulders . he wants to kneel down before her — tell her he’s sorry .

❛   and what would it do , lydia ?  ❜ the question comes out sharp , demanding for a response — a game plan that her endless mind must have come up with by now , ❛   what do you think will happen once the door opens ? what goes in must be traded and what you’re asking ? it’s …  ❜  instead of kneeling before her , he reins back , exasperation upon often stoic features that leaves him unsettled in his own , inevitable , decision . the suffering of humanity should never have been a thought , that door should have opened centuries ago , but he’s gone from it’s keyholder to it’s gatekeeper . @thatprettylittlething

[mythous]

❛  the  ends  justify  the  means .  ❜ @vensperus // memes // always accepting

LISTENING  ATTENTIVELY,   he  is  all  rapt  consideration.  taemin  stands  as  though  the  weight  of  the  world  wishes  to  be  held  upon  his  shoulders   —meanwhile  forces  both  above  and  below  seek  him  out.  what  else  could  he  have  become  other  than  destruction ?  what  else  could  he  desire  if  not  some  sort  of  peace  —-even  if  it  means  the  tainting  of  more  than  his  own  soul.

michael  is  a  patient  being  —-he  has  led  armies,  championed  the  people,  sat  at  the  right  hand  of  the  maker  of  all  things.  he  has  existed  for  longer  than  most  can  even  comprehend.  but  he  is  also  an  agent  of  vengeance,  of  justice,  of  war.  still,  when  he  speaks  his  voice  is  all  quiet  calm,   carrying  divine  authority  in  every  syllable.

          ❝  but  that  is  not  always  the  case,  and  it’s  vital  that  you  understand  that  —  especially  when  innocent  lives  are  at  stake.  ❞     

some  would  counter  that  there  is  no  such  thing  as  innocence,  not  in  something  as  flawed  as  humanity.  but  it  is  not  the  job  of  angels  (or  demons  )  to  judge  such  things.   for  his  part,  michael  has  a  host  of  his  own  kind  who  may  face  his  judgment.    ❝  our  purpose   —    ❞    comical  as  it  may  be  to  lump  the  two  together,  those  who  couldn’t  be  more  at  odds,  he  continues  softly.   ❝  —   is  to guide,  protect,  inspire.  whatever  destruction  you’re  intent  on  delivering,  you’ll  only  serve  to  prove  one  thing.  ❞    a  step  closer,  expression  impassive  despite  the  edge  that  sharpens  his  next  words.   ❝  that  you’re  nothing  but  a  slave  to  your  own  nature  —  weak,  filled  with  incredible  power  and  yet  instead  of  controlling  it   —-   ❞    there’s  something  like  disappointment  in  his  eyes,  and  michael  shakes  his  head.    ❝  —- you  allow  it  to  control  you.  ❞

[vensperus]

HE  LAUGHS  where  he  shouldn’t  .  the  divine  presence  ,  the  hand  of  the  maker  ,  the  most  judgemental  of  them  all  —  he  dares  lecture  him  on  what  the  meaning  of  weak  is  .  it’s  a  callous  sound  that  escapes  the  cambion’s  mouth  ,  but  taemin  has  faced  threats  of  this  caliber  before  .  he’s  had  lucifer  whispering  in  his  ear  for  as  long  as  he  can  remember  —  is  it  weak  ,  truly  ,  to  give  in  for  the  silence  ?  after  all  ,  has  he  not  waited  centuries  for  this  moment  ?  to  stand  into  the  eyes  of  vengeance  ?  to  encapsulate  the  entirety  of  the  word’s  demand  ? ❛      you  angels  are  all  the  same  —    ❜  the  smile  upon  taemin’s  features  turns  cold  and  it’s  wiped  away  to  match  the  archangel’s  passive  expression  .  he’s  tired  of  the  war  in  his  mind  ,  sick  of  the  destruction  brewing  on  the  horizon  ,  he’s  grown  bored  of  hearing  the  prophets  tales  of  the  unmaker  ,  set  to  destroy  everything  his  opposite  had  created  .  ❛    you  know  ,  the  irony  of  it  all  —  you  and  i  are  in  a  similar  boat  ,  you  just  keep  forgetting  one  thing  ,        ❜  a  finger  rises  ,  a  step  forward  taken  ,  unfazed  by  the  strength  that  stands  before  him  and  he  sighs  ,  dejected  .  ❛    i’m  also  human  ,  a  part  of  your  maker’s  plan  ,  if  the  so  called  almighty  didn’t  want  this  to  happen  …  then  why  is  it  fated  ?        ❜

it’s  because  he  isn’t  supposed  to  be  standing  ,  he  was  never  intended  to  survive  the  slaughter  of  his  kind  ,  but  he  did  .  an  anomaly  ,  a  break  of  the  mold  —  the  son  of  lilith  .  ❛      you  can  call  me  weak  for  imagining  a  life  without  your  brother  in  my  head  ,  but  at  least  i  have  fought  off  my  destiny  for  centuries  while  you  ?        ❜    another  step  closer  is  taken  ,  this  one  doesn’t  hold  the  threatening  weight  that  it  could  ,  and  he  looks  towards  michael  with  distaste  ,  and  exhaustion  ,  ❛      you  continue  to  follow  your  orders  —  you  are  nothing  but  a  tool  ,  even  now  ,  standing  here  on  your  rotting  pedestal  .    ❜

@vensperus - a starter for taemin as a welcome back !

"don't go telling me you MISSED ME NOW, we both know that that wouldn't be true." here sits alice! new life, new smile, all cocked and armed but with something akin to a sliver of a memory. how else would she know a man was a man was a demon was a nightmare?

he's left a mark! let it linger, let it settle into her bones. doesn't he know that? a cambion and a girl like her, they're never meant to run within the same circles, much less the same dreams! yet here they were, in UTTER OPPOSITION. "that's okay~ you don't have to say it. i missed you! gosh, your scowl is as terrible as ever, isn't it?"

- @vensperus

[vensperus]

SHOCK  SHOULD  PAINT  ITSELF  UPON  the  cambion’s  features  —  awe  perhaps  ,  but  taemin  simply  stares  for  a  long  moment  .  nightmares  and  horrors  have  always  awaited  him  in  this  inbetween  of  a  world  ,  the  shadows  cast  darkness  across  every  inch  and  muck  floods  the  riverbanks  of  memories  sought  .    what  purpose  does  he  have  here  today  ?  to  reap  the  sanctity  of  hell  itself  by  rooting  himself  in  it’s  innerworld  ?

or  perhaps  it’s  some  other  nefarious  means  ,  regardless  ,  she  is  a  surprise  . ❛    and  you  are  exactly  as  i  remember  ,  alice        ❜    he  approaches  with  care  ,  hands  stuffed  in  his  pockets  before  offering  a  simple  gaze  intended  to  size  her  up  ,  find  out  what’s  changed  from  yesteryear  and  all  the  time  in  between  ,  ❛    i’d  say  what  a  surprise  ,  but  i’m  starting  to  wonder  if  this  is  intentional  ,  what  trouble  have  you  gotten  into  this  time  ?        ❜

there  is  no  challenge  in  his  tone  ,  it  differs  from  the  way  he’s  met  such  anger  in  the  past  with  her  ,  yet  he  still  stands  tall  ,  watching  the  banshee  with  a  curious  and  cautious  gaze  .  in  fact  ,  after  a  beat  ,  he  daringly  takes  a  step  forward  as  if  quietly  daring  her  to  make  some  move  against  him  ,  ❛    what  do  you  think  you  can  do  to  me  that  hasn’t  been  done  already  ?   you  think  i  haven’t  been  able  to  fight  off  a   banshee’s  screams ?  —  tell  me        ❜      another  step  ,  but  this  time  he’s  prepped  for  the  retribution  ,  ready  to  counter  it  if  need  be  ,  ❛        do  you  honestly  think  i  am  mad  enough  to  do  this  ?  i’ve  been  warning  you  since  i  arrived  that  there  were  bigger  things  coming  .  now   look  who  pays  the  price   ❜

Prom dress in tatters, it’s that fateful night all over again. Except this time the enemy isn’t Peter Hale ( known, tangible, conquerable ) it’s something else entirely. Something Taemin had brought with him, Lydia expects, months of thinly veiled threats coming to a head when she’s teetering in the highest of heels.

❝  Oh, and it just so happens that all of this started when you showed up, hm?  ❞ The young banshee stands her ground, seething, small hands curling into fists by her hipbones. Lydia doesn’t know if he’s mad, or just plain cruel. It’s still unclear whether he is friend or foe, now she aims to find out once and for all. ❝  So ── are you just here to GLOAT, or will you help us?  ❞

MOCK  OFFENSE  PLAYS  PING  PONG  ON  HER  FEATURES   —landing  first  in  the  way  her  eyes  widen  in  surprise,  followed  by  lips  forming  an  “o”  of  shock,  and  then  back  up  to  brows  that  pull together  and  downward,  distress  threading  through them  at  the  inner  corners.  finally   —  the  piece  de resistance  —   a  hand  to  her  chest  as  though  his  words  have  physically  pained  her  in  some  way.   

❝  whatever  do  you  mean? ❞    a  step  forward,  hand  still  pressing  against  her  heart,  head  tilts  questioningly.    ❝ mothers  are  allowed  to  miss  their  sons,  you  know.  ❞    she  huffs  out  in  frustration,  free  hand  finding  its  perch  upon  her  hip.   ❝  and  some  sons  are  so  petulant  and  ungrateful  that  it  takes  a  bit  of  creativity  to  get  them  to  show  up  for  family  time.  ❞

BOREDOM  EXPRESSES  LOUDLY  UPON  HIS  FEATURES  ,  his  mother  ,  the  age  old  game  of  fallacy  versus  reality  ,  attempting  to  play  heart  strings  to  his  guilt  ?  his  anger  ?  the  visceral  hatred  he  has  for  the  woman  before  him  burns  behind  the  twitch  beneath  his  eye  as  he  watches  her  carefully  .  he  trusts  no  one  ,  but  trusts  her  even  less  .  ❛      cut  the  shit  ,  lilith    ❜  no  other  creature  of  the  supernatural  world  would  dare  speak  to  her  in  this  manner  ,  but  he’s  always  enjoyed  going  against  the  proverbial  grain  .

not  once  has  there  ever  been  a  time  for  casual  conversation  between  the  two  ,  she  wants  something  ,  he’s  sure  of  it  ,  but  what  that  is  he’s  not  confident  enough  to  call  her  out  on  just  yet  .  not  without  more  information  .  ❛    one  day  ,  you’ll  find  the  personality  to  make  friends  of  your  own  ,  that  way  you  don’t  need  to  play  tricks  in  order  to  get  some  company  .  nobody  wants  to  listen  about  how  ungrateful  they  are  ,  you  know  .        ❜

head lulls to the side as he appraises ​the cambion now standing in front of him, eyes roving over @vensperus​‘ form before he’s finally deciding to address him. ❛ you know… i tried not to take offense to when you shot me down in my offer to have you serve under me as a knight of hell, but now you’re here and with no gift? what am i to make of this? ❜ green eyes are locked on the being as he awaits a response to his question. after all, their interests didn’t exactly overlap, so by his standards, there’s no reason for them to be interacting at the moment, unless… maybe this might lead to something fruitful for the king, so he waits to hear what brought taemin to his door.
