I cross my heart and hope to be resurrected Rise up above Sheol for the paradise He created For me to see that there’s nothing greater on this earth For me to be free from malice and lustful mirth I was a pawn of the world a victim to shiny things I scratched my palms … Continue reading Back and forth
Some of them are now masters of illusions Intricately layering their make-up to hide a foundation of bruises Leaving one clue or two yet we ignore what the truth is Some of us laughed it off at first thinking it was just one moment rather than the black-and-blue curse Our souls slowly dying in this … Continue reading 16DAYS
