The world’s gone mad, ain't no argument about it. Cities are shattered and the sun blazes down on us all. But even in this apocalypse, there’s still a little bit of sanity. We find it in the simple things: a working canteen, a scrap of fabric for patching up our hideout, or maybe just a clear night sky. And sometimes, we find it in the words that echo through the ruins.
These aren’t your fancy verses about love and loss. No sir, these are raw words about survival, about the grit it takes to keep going when everything else has crumbled. These are narratives whispered around campfires, shared between survivors. They’re a reminder that even in the darkest of times, we can still find light in the most surprising places.
- Hear Me Out to the wind howling through the broken windows, it’s singing a song of survival.
- Picture the stars shining brighter than ever, illuminating the path ahead.
- Never Forget that even in this wasteland, there’s still a fire burning inside each of us.

Cormac's Bats: A Silversteinian Nightmare
A chill runs down your spine as you turn the page. The murky illustrations of a nameless author paint a picture of terrifying creatures, but these aren't common monsters. These are bats, yes, but not the harmless kind you see flitting around a summer garden. These are bats with teeth like knives, eyes that glow in the darkness, and a hunger that is insatiable. They swarm through the pages, their wings beating like a cacophony. You feel trapped, helpless before these Silversteinian horrors, and the sense of dread tells you this is just the beginning.
- Their wings rustle like death's breath.
- You can't tell what's real anymore.
- Run while you still can.
Blood Meridian Blues: A Ballad for the Wild Ones
This here's a song about cruelty, 'bout the kind of heart that beats like a drum in the belly of apredator. We sing for the desperados, the ones who walk on the edge of humanity, their souls stained with the crimson kiss of the desert wind. The earth run red with their blood, and their screams echo across the plains like the wail of alonely soul. They are the flock, the feral children of this forsaken land, forever haunted by the shadow of warfare.
Let us raise our voices, brothers and sisters, in a hymn to the savage heart. Let us sing a song of defiance against the order, and embrace the chaos that dances in their veins. For they are the true warriors, living on the razor's edge, where death is always waiting.
