Awake to radiant hues
Sweet sunrise lullabies
Cherry red underbelly

Take me to your home in the cold night
Let us dance a fearless catwalk

Don’t hide in silence
Let’s dance
A naked truth uncovers us aloud
The path is getting blurry,
My words are slurry.

Lazarus plot imminent,
Have to be diligent.

My mind has been flayed,
My soul slayed.
Like shattered clouds I lie
A bruised smile on the sky
Did I tarnish the dawn
With yellow in the hues
And guilt as my cue
Is my trunk undone
And my leaves on the floor
In a pretty evening
Cherished by the living
I hide in the sunrise
Behind the cloud of doubt
Cast on my own light
Air
You should know me
well enough,
to know that I don't linger
where i am not wanted.
The only thing of value you’ve ever owned is now
and you keep trading it for the nothingness of yesterday
or the emptiness of tomorrow
There is no part of me
that music can’t touch,
and I’m grateful for it
I didn't mean to be me

It happened so fast
It was hard to see

Me

Trying to be

I didn't mean anything
I was ignorant
Explaining things

I didn't mean
To be

Me

I was born with this image
I try to distinguish
But

I didn't mean it

I

Didn't mean
To be me

Maybe I should
Leave

Because
I didn't mean





To be here
I want to be captivating
I want to be bright
I want to make you laugh
I want to bring tears to your eyes
I want to have something to offer

That doesn’t fade with time
