Residual

Refined by the weight of timeLike a diamond but far less temptingThe fear of being aloneScraping against my scalpIf hell exists it's inside each of usWe give our devils names but no facesHave I learned nothing yetThe salt in the wound is the acceptanceOf my place, of my meaninglessnessBut is it also my salvationTo live …

Black Light

There's one thing that binds us togetherTragedy paints our souls the same colorI dreamed of one last dance with youTo sing our song to each otherTime is of the essence but easily forgottenAnd when you get older, it doesn't heal all woundsHold me up darling, get the needle and threadStitch my pieces back up, together …

Icarus

Safekeeping

Afterthought

Broken Things

Cigarette burns on the carpet. I've been stuck, staring at the ceiling again. I feel you in between the studs in the walls. The voices keep raising the price on my head. I watched you rise like a statue out of reality. To come and focus your weight onto me. A weight I would proudly …
