NZ I write about lives of parallel people in parallel universes, who I know but don’t know
The world is your oyster and it’s heavy as hell The weight of the world will drag anyone down Cry me a river, wish on satellites But do not go off gently into that good night Birds of a feather, we all flock together I’ve got your back we’ll fight hell for leather It’s stranger than fiction we’ve forgotten our youth We can’t touch the memories, taste forbidden fruit You’re flying too close to the sun and I wonder If I was the wind in your wings or the thunder Could I light up your life, make it all worth the fight? This helplessness makes my broken heart cry Could I lay you to rest on the soft mossy ground? But you don’t want to hear it and your thoughts are too loud The songs are your temple and you’re lost in the sound No not even heaven can help save you now

Stay
I toss fragments of my heart to strangers and as I walk away leaving footprints in the sand paced to the rhythm of my songs I wonder if they listen as pieces of music reach out to them or if all they see is a sunlit dream

Untitled
they close their ears they close their eyes shrug on their cloaks of loathing she sings from trees they’ll never climb a song of death and pining the moon has split from stones they threw of burning words and lies of truth all hope is lost but still she calls sweet melodies before she falls

A song
Are you ok? Yeah, you said I nodded but couldn’t help noticing the empty in your eyes The chalk outline she left burning your retinas more than the sun ever could

Gone
What if one day our dreams didn’t need us and our words became one with the wind and dancing like fireflies, they lit up the night while we denied they’d be gone by the dawn What if one day our memories died and despite all our digging the dead don’t come back and despite all our calling the ghosts simply faded while we’re left wondering why they didn’t haunt us like the movies

What if
We are all taking slow steps into madness although some of us walk faster than others We can’t outrun the end no matter how quick we are The devil in our dreams will always be there waiting for that one last dance

Dance with the devil
You are the heaven I’d go to hell for The peace I’d start wars for The light I’d live in darkness for The freedom I’d be chained for The love I’d **** for
