My friend, my poor beleaguered soul who rides this tide with the silver-backed confidence of the moon itself You are lost. My brother, my beating spirit of flesh and blood, you have forgotten the World, devoured in the merciful hell of yourself You wander through neon sanctuaries where desire hangs thick as incense, where every want glows like an altar and every altar demands another body I have watched you crown appetite as virtue, watched you kneel before mirrors and call it freedom, while love - that trembling and terrible thing - stood unrecognized at the edge of memory Do you Love? Have you ever truly Loved?

You are Lost
My friend, my poor beleaguered soul who rides this tide with the silver-backed confidence of the moon itself You are lost. My brother, my beating spirit of flesh and blood, you have forgotten the World, devoured in the merciful hell of yourself You wander through neon sanctuaries where desire hangs thick as incense, where every want glows like an altar and every altar demands another body I have watched you crown appetite as virtue, watched you kneel before mirrors and call it freedom, while love - that trembling and terrible thing - stood unrecognized at the edge of memory Do you Love? Have you ever truly Loved?
