Character's song for one of my worlds: Lartevier.

inspired by "The Scream"

==============================================================

I'm not like them

I'm not the same

I see the world behind the stem

Where they see colours

I see sounds

Each voice - a trap, each voice binds...

(...the music....the sounds... My skills, curse — scars...)

...I avoid what has 'music' inside (inside)

I am afraid of what I can find behind (behind)

I stole it

I planned this robbery

They paid me...

I drowned in revery.

They paid me

To take away The Scream

I went against my warning voice

Against my own steely rule

I'm paying the price for my choice

Trapped in twisted dream!

Why did I ignore my rule

Why did I proceed with this schedule?

I tried to be wise — yet turned a fool

I peeked just once

The colours danced

A cursed sound on my senses pounced

I could avoid this this time too, this time, this time

The thing I have stolen become the cage of mine (the cage of mine)

I stole it

I planned this robbery

They paid me...

I drowned in revery.

They paid me

To take away The Scream

I went against my warning voice

Against my own steely rule

I'm paying the price for my choice

Trapped in twisted dream!

Between the lines of author's intents and thoughts

I am trapped in here, did they forget...?

I'm missing person - a thief with skills and regret

I'm standing still in faked calm and peace

Avoiding the curse's cold malice....

(...the music....the sounds... My skills, curse — scars...)

It stole my soul

And it holds me still

The theft undone - the painting screamed

Drowned in confidence - I didn't hear the sign

Now my soul and painting are forcefully aligned...

Not even sight - the demons wait

Each given sound - they listen and wait

I'm binding my time inside The Scream

Awaiting someone who can redeem me from this dream....
