My soul searches you,

I fly further and further --


and I do not land.

I can’t be bought
Can’t be bribed
Keep your cash
Give me your life
I don’t want your power
Keep your empire too
I don’t want your money
I just want you

I once painted a room red in a sad attempt to erase how severely I’d been stabbed
Unfortunately time is all but frozen
Handcuffed to a melting shadow for 3 years now
Doing it’s best to forget faces and names
