But in that moment, it all felt completely...
I wake from a broken sleep to find myself knowingly lost and strategically placed in a life of gray understanding outlined with vibrant thirst. The world speeds past my eyes but slowly hums in my ears like the ending of a classic love story. The contrasts, these ups and downs, emotions colliding and cresting like a wave, a mirage of empty accomplishment . I can’t slow my brain from tip...
And yet this distance That separates my hand from yours Can only make me appreciate your heart I adore you

Stones taught me to fly Love taught me to lie Life taught me to die So it’s not hard to fall When you’ve flown like a cannonball

This signal interrupts Baby’s frequency not strong enough Remain, my hands are tied. We will miss you but in time you’ll get settled And we will write Your beauty supreme. Yeah, you were right about me. But can I get myself out from underneath This guilt that will crush me? And in the choir I saw our sad Messiah. He was bored and tired of my laments. Said, “I died for you one...

There are few things less attractive than someone who complains about their circumstances in life, yet does nothing to change them. Nothing will come without changes and chances. I cannot, will not, burden my life trying to improve yours if you are not willing to do it for yourself.

When I disappear, it is clear I am up to no good

It’s like we just can’t help ourselves cos we don’t know how to back down we were called out to the streets we were called into the towns and how the heavens they opened up like arms all dazzling gold with our rain-washed histories well we do not need to be told show me how show me the arms aloft every eye trained on a different star this magic this drunken semaphore we are...
Oh my imagination running wild, guess I've missed...
An outsider looking in, my fears have hit the rafters now. A slow progression towards the gray, as if this sun could hold off the night. A realist’s approach to an optimist’s shrug, there’s nothing I wouldn’t do to set you free. As the cold settles into the bone and toxins into the blood — so many of our ups left us always wanting more. Now a low has nestled...
How to Kill a Living Thing
Neglect it Criticise it to its face Say how it kills the light Traps all the rubbish Bores you with its green

Forget it For a week or a month Return with an axe Split it with one blow Insert a stone
