"Track 1"

“Track 1”

Did change really come?

Or did the seasons change?

The mind is supersonic.

Travel back in time to change what cannot be undone.

Become everything they said.

What is their character?

Scavenger in the insatiable darkness.

No light to find the carcass.

Passion to resurrect the carcass.

Wheels are like perspective.

Put your foot on the gas.

Positivity is like a flash within the darkened sky.

Strike the unprotected heart.

Heavy heart.

Like an ottoman at the throne of darkness.

Ambitious swan.

With the wingspan of a hug.

Glorious melody.

Cling onto love.

"Sweetness on the Lower East Side"

You are the sweetness from the Lower East Side

You are the flame in your mother’s pride

Hear the chariots, they roar

You are the friend that I adore

Tears on the dawn of a Spring morning

You are the friend that lifted me from mourning

Clinging on to love while the world crumbles is my passion

You define compassion

My truth in you will cause repercussions and I’m scared

But you’re not a diamond dozen, for you are rare

May the obelisk of our friendship never fall

I rather have you close, than never at all

The Island, The Ocean

Your long black hair swings like the strangeness of our relationship

My hand on your waist as we dance to the beat of the half moon sky

Whisper softly in your ear, “What if you chose back then to love me?”

Scenarios are just like shooting stars upon the galaxies of broken hearts

Our broken hearts that were made by unfair words and unshakeable diction that is forever carved upon unbreakable stones

Every now and then, the special place of my mind that remembers you tempts me

You haunt me in my dreams like the howl of old love ghost past

If I could kiss you now, your lips would radiate with the hope of us that once glowed in the atmosphere

But now our sadness is swallowed by the waves
