Liberation
Let’s raise our glasses To the chief executives Let’s raise our glasses To the gorgeous cirkus freaks No other limitation A war of literacy and poverty to fight Feed me now – Thinning out Another celebration I run, run out, outrun, run out of time Exceed my expectations I run, run out, outrun, run out of time Rejoice in the salvation Here comes a new tomorrow By the battering bombs...

With Lanterns Lit
Lit lanterns on your path Let candles lead the way If you forget or there will be no way back Signify what’s left now Wheels have pulled you long The strings attached are thinning out for each day His hands in the water I ask ”Where have you been?” The battle in your eyes is fighting my will The little light reflected From mirrors on his face Will just remind me of the past tomorrow Try...

Liar/Advertiser
Blooming wrapped in silver strings Lungs collapsing, caving in (Cocoon unfolds and dust falls of it) I dare not let you leave But dare not let you in too deep With ice picks to my lungs I reach My first moment of clarity Enduring Relied, relied, relied on your Numb consolations endless evermore Trying to form a sound when I was told to quietly linger I’ll bide my time and find my own Roots of my...
