unravel
stark thoughts crashing into the shore in your mind
summer weather creeping its way into spring
kissing ether, ground firm in the dirt
love fills every corner of your heart
as light staves off the dawn of night

The news dulls my senses, drinking whiskey like it’s 1920
Morning light shines in on bare walls, two years and still no art up
Love crazed/cold heart, how can both reside in the same body?
Selfish lack of thought, but don’t whine about it baby
Bombs dropped for peace, yet refugees kept out, stonewalled?
All in all, rather be six feet under than continue to suffer
The time to resist is always now
What is time? Ticking away at your insides,
never thought you’d be blood, sweat and tears deep,
pouring your youth away in the mill, and to what end?
everyday still struggling.
Better build a quick defense, better plan your next five years,
(I’ve got a love I’m going to marry, a little bit of money saved, and that’s it)
the bare truth is nerves of steel don’t get you everything,
sometimes even when you do all you can, you still lose,
(so lose with grace and rise with grit)
but what then, when the thunderous applause of your converted disbelievers don’t make you smile?
humanity is ravenous! humanity is a pity!
What is time? When a paradise is a sick day and a few miles away.
never thought you’d make it this far, but you have,
(take a breath, take to what you know best)
hold steady, mind clear, eyes focused.
Dansons et chantons dans les plaines
Perdons-nous dans l’inconnu
Un voyage stimulant vers l’avenir
