The Manifesto Of Victoria King
The Holy Child is motherless, fatherless
and if he walked on water then I will sink.
I have faith but it has been shaken.
I saw the darkness' complexion before I believed.
We are defined by ugly and greatness,
and what is a face but a reflection of the past?
If you see me weep I will turn to stone.
Painted in the blood that once were us,
you still fear me because I am made out of myself.
Monster
Deaf tones and silent music
Is it a dream?
I cannot hear a thing
outside my head anymore
I listen, I listen
ear to the locked door.
I am a faker, I am a monster
I carry my flaws
always behind my back
I do not speak with nothing to say
god only knows
it takes one to know one this way.
I’m the dream maker but truth shows
Only death can
catch me in my mistakes
I am a monster, a freak bitch
I breathe the blood
of your pain just so soothe the itch.

The First (The eldest)
Coming down
like venom rain
it burns my eyes
I am always the first
Hits like sound
and feels like pain
but it’s not, you know
it’s not even the worst
Pride’s like water
if you drink it up
there’s nothing left
to end the thirst
And youth’s like a pet
if you don’t preserve
the senescence
leaves you unrehearsed.
The Second (Vanity)
Don’t shoot the messenger.
Just because the pathologist
determine the cause of death
it doesn’t mean he committed
the crime.
Rebel against the rebels,
You’re taking it too far.
I am not insane
to be vain
I’m just true too who I am.
Blue blood, lipstick, jewellery
Dress me up, make me pretty
I am not even ignorant to it
I simply seem to be behind
in time.
The Third (Youth)
Juvenility is a wicked thing.
Twisted values
and wrong priorities.
I just hope
this monster youth
won’t take my life
I’m much to young
to die.
The Seventh (The world as you don’t know it)
Where will you find your place
when the game stops?
This monster youth
makes you believe
as long as you are not wrong
life will keep you strong
you will be destroyed
time to wake you up.
I will reach the farthest.
The Ninth (Masks)
Cover your face,
you would not want to be seen like that.
If not beauty is a virtue
then I cannot be sacred, I do not know how to.
You cannot see me through
my mask, tight to my bones,
bumping along all the small stones
in the river of all the dreams you slew.
When the true skin is revealed
and you cannot hide in the unknowing,
it creates a balance oddity.
You do not understand when I say:
I am not your mannequin
and this is not fashion photography.
Video Love
I do not understand
how we are supposed know
when it is for real
and when it’s just for show.
I would like to believe that I could find art
in all those moments that passes.
My heart beats for a distance
I am not the one to take a strife.
it is easier that way, no commitment
but to the staged and edited scraps of life.
I am a cynic dressed in hope
and I do tend to take the olive branch from the dove.
because sometimes I just do not believe
in good old fashioned video love.
Try The Stars
All the dreams
in the back of your head
when you think of me,
take them out.
I am here to stay
if you can remember what I said.
Between reality
and the fictions
It's always hard to know
I never really loved you
but a lot changes
when you let go of addictions.
I was wakened by the light
but the world was dark
I looked at you and smiled
Love is an empty word
try the stars
maybe they’ll give enough spark.
Once Upon A Dream
Silent winds, what do they say
memories are thrown away
we are post the past
we are before the future
once upon a time
was only yesterday.
Remember who you are
forget who you were
in between history
we could only get this far.
Maybe sometime time will tell
our war, we fought it well
reach the victory at last?
wounds healed with suture
but at the end of the line
we only tripped and fell.
I will remember from where I came
but do not belong there anymore
we will become history
and in the end we were never all the same.
Shallow Water
I am the dream
A shadow of who I used to be
And it does seem
That you can be real to me.
Swim from shallow water
And I am too deep for my own good
I am imaginations daughter
And I will live forever, past the flood.
I know the acts, the games
I know how to behave
And how I am supposed to feel.
But being who you are to me
You cannot remind me
What it is like to be for real.
Even though I am losing touch with my reality
You know that the closer I get to you
The closer I get to its final slaughter
And that is why you cannot bear to tell me
To stick to the shallow water.
.
Shaken
I am looking, I have fallen a thousand times
I rose, washed of the dirt
washed of the blood
I have been listening to the voices in my head
They’ve been there forever
waiting for the flood
I am standing on the same spot but I am not
in the same place anymore
Solid like stone.
Wherever this contaminated road is leading
I was always supposed
to walk it alone.
Was I still loved when they called me mad
and when all of my sense
and hope was forsaken?
I offered my heart and soul, I know I did
And now I can’t have back
what has been taken.
Ikons on my wall, crosses around my neck
Where can I find my faith?
I burned my book.
I am slipping but I will never regret my flaws
and I am not as shaken
as it may look.
In Time
In due of time
I'll find my peace
And all the searching
for happy endings
will come to the end of the line.
And in my mind
the lifetimes lease
are silently still lurching
But hope is mending
And I'll live forever in time.
The modern Alice is insane
and wonderland is just a train
to the main.
All Things
Look at me
Beyond my body
I know you can see
The night is empty
But for a new charade
Dark walls, grey clouds
Your eyes are wandering
I cannot seem to
capture you tonight
Why are you afraid?
Among the stars
the dead lives on
You were searching
for me in the sky
must have been a cloudy night
Look at me
I am very much alive
Your eyes are not so cold
when you look at me
Today it’s a clear light.
Trust and forgiveness are just two of all things.
Who Is She?
It’s so much that
what is liquefied is as solid
as the truth.
It’s post-sanity,
oh, how this is the century
of wasted youth.
Turn on the TV,
I do not know where I’m heading,
but hitting the spot
The drinks are
all freezing, is it
really that hot?
Who is she, where did she go?
I think I’ve seen her before.
Where was she heading, tell me do you know?
I have to find her, cannot take this no more.
Running in heart shaped around who? Me?
But tell me, just tell me, who is she?
Stare into the mirror
I saw her there earlier tonight
A few shots ago
She was as clear as starlight
Stare into the dark
Knowing I’ve seen her before
Makes me feel like
I don’t even know myself anymore.
The Rabbit Hole
Cannot live forever waiting to die
To fake my own tears when everyone cries
Born without wings, were not meant to fly
But why should it
make us have to run and hide?
When what is coming is taking its toll
And everybody owns a piece of your soul
We are losing all sense of control
as we keep on falling
down down down the rabbit hole.
I want to be magic, I want to care
playing an endless game of truth or dare
subconsciousness is willing to share
so when we are blinded
can you still see the lens flare?
Dustland
It's not really that far to the ground if you fall
Though I wonder if you'd try to catch me at all
But I believe that when the day comes to an end
If we try once more you could still be my friend.
Right now I want you to die
but I don't want
you for dead, make me cry
words are just a sweet lie
the sky is not so high
but without wings
we cannot fly.
Ask me if I'm coping, I don't need to contemplate
There is no need for reaching, I believe there is a faith
And I do believe in truth but I am the coldest liar
I said I didn't love you only 'cause I burned in the fire.
You only love at my demand
and when we
On the same streets stand
it won't be as I planned
But on the other hand
we all inhabit
the Dustland.
Issues
Oh sister dear
I know we share the same pain.
Rules do not apply
and as the dust blows away
there is only so much for us to gain.
Death is beneath
Wronged, I wished and it was fine.
Cannot fight demons
when they are all that you are
and all through the vengeance was mine .
We are so lost
In ourselves, you know sister dear
that when we get out,
when the maze falls apart
All our issues are so sorely clear.
2010
Excuse me,
Perfect stranger,
Do you know the way to the main road?
I was on my way
when I went astray
in your sparkly eyes. I am not sorry,
But occasionally
I do regret how I lead you on to believe
that I’m all okay
and you buy that I say
all those truthful lies. What are we now?
So many things at the same time
That we do not even know
who we used to be anymore
because it was only yesterday.
What are we now?
Decades ago, we walked the line
and we knew where to go
But nothing is like it was before
because it was only yesterday. Excuse me,
Perfect stranger,
Do you know what year this is?
I was asleep
in a dream to keep
as self-perception dies.
