Icarus flew up
Too close to the sun
And fell like Lucifer
Still a boy though

But if I flew
Away in the night
Would I still burn
Like you?

Valerie
you're a haze of ninety-nine cents dreams,
naivety bottled in your distressed jeans
and your ******-inspired bambi teardrop eyes;
and i'm the devil behind why you've cried

your mouth chokes with fury and rage
'so why are you still here?' i ask again
but secretly, i know you and your obsession
-the glory tales of getting heartbroken

you know i'm pure poison flowing in your veins,
a disaster functioning on self-hatred and novacane,
but you're wild violet and champagne in a sweet kiss,
desperate to be inundated into my abyss.
idk what is this

Keeping a secret is hard
Until it's not.

Until what seemed so uninvited
Becomes a universal truth.

When did it become normal
To hide?

The human condition
A set of traits
To try and somehow explain
Our relentless ambition

We're all stuck
With the same condition
The same thing
That would give us our mission

Let's leave our planet in a tin can
