I believed I was a star till .....
Just in the midst of love I met dust beautiful , with eyes that take you to horizons of sunset passion islands

She said my starship will never fly if it didn't start in the ground , she said she loved me I couldn't believe becasue whe was in another form of dirt

I asked her on a date in my mind I'm thinking what would she feel if she ate mana from heaven she said no why don't you try earth because you've never been there

There I was thinking I was meant for the ground
There I was thinking I belong  in dirt
There I was thinking I belong in dept

I'm better than that I was meant to fly , I was meant to shine in the sun I'm a starling trying to show my X I can prove her wrongs of saying I'm nothing

Seeing through me
Sulphur singes the face of foes.
The inferno beneath him leaps
as inside outs on key
and spills an invite to woes
of the hanging Judas who weeps.
The pride he borrowed has broken,
His bottom barren. Ravaged within a burrow
He is cursorily spat.
He is cursorily let
Strengthened and channeled
at heart he is good
A reminiscence of Mary of Magdala
He nourishes as he sustains
to replenish.
Seeing through me
Aquacade ails the face of friends
Seeing me through
