Life is a karoke
Set your own tune.
Sing your own song.
I didn't know what love was
so I asked you to tell me
"There are no guidelines or laws
Love is boundless and free"
I inquired about effect and cause
"If it is desired, it will be"
and after a dramatic pause
I felt it
to a certain degree

You're afraid of the fire
every time you see it
every time you put your hand out to the fire you pull it away
you pull your fridged hands back inside the handwoven pocket
are you afraid shes different?
why are you afraid of the fire?
why are you afraid of getting burned?
i put my hand gently in her hair
I kiss her soft lips
the fire.... the fire doesn't burn
it feels warm against my umber skin
I don't feel cold in the fire
why are you afraid of the fire?
the fire shares the same oak as us
I love the fire on my skin
The need for wants
Wants each need fulfilled
All for me, trampling all
Yes, for me to receive
Leave no chance to deceive
Wasn’t the past year enough
For one to learn
And rise above self
And look beyond
Masked and taped
Everyone
With hands that love to hold
And feet that love to run
I loved you, I loved you
As the moon would love the sun

noelle
it drains the life out of me
it makes me want to dig into my skin
i don't know how much longer
i can do this

Indeed
it's such a shame



you were in front of me



and I couldn't recognise you.

noelle
i'm a different person
around everyone
i interact with,
that i'm not so sure
who the real me is
