Now we can dance in the streetsThe lights have come onWe can dance in the parking lots while everyone calls their moms Last danceUnderneath the umbrellasCalling the shotsCalling shotgunCalling your favorite friendsTo take you homeWhere the doors will be locked We can dance along the wayI’ve been trying to find a phoneWe all know you […]

Everyone, Everything

Kind
Today these eyes can’t clear their sightLong dulled are my words like knivesAnd I’m chasing away my kindChasing away my kind Choked on a collar shrinking in sizeLong gouged out my sinful eyeAnd I lived in an abyssI fell but I know how I tripped ‘Cause I’m a traitorJust for changing my mindAnd I’m the […]
