The sky is a vibrant, glowing blue
Sunlight warms hearts in a gentle hue
Addicts plead for a few more bills
Even dealers lose grip on their thrills
In beauty's stark, contrasting light
Joy dances close with despair in sight
Morals judged by an initial glance
Often swayed by the cover's chance
Artifact Pirate flips the page
Exposing Beauty's Bitter Stage
When did sweetness turn to ache
When did love's calm become a quake
We see only contradictions unfold
Between thoughts and feelings, stories untold
Between heart and spirit, worlds drift far apart
Caught in the struggle of mind and heart
Artifact Pirate flips the page
Exposing Beauty's Bitter Stage
When did sweetness turn to ache
When did love's calm become a quake
Spirit of the pirate, wild and free
We leave the shore to discover the sea
To find what we've lost in the depths of our scars
As we search in the darkness for who we are
