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

You were standing right in front of meA vision of disturbing familiarityI alone was anointed with this prophecyTo be enlightened, recalling ex livesPast existences are small hints of lightTwinges of deep longing, gone before graspingFormer living things, vacancy paints our facesDead lights dimming, collecting more empty pagesAll good drugs are used before they're rememberedLeaving behind …

Below Zero

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 …

Tether

This is not how I pictured it. Never thought I would end up here. I used to feel so intricate. A small life with just a touch of fear. All portraits of past sorrows. The severe winds that carried us. Drifting souls gravitating towards sincerity and glow, we trust. I fell asleep under the sun …
