Our Opponent’s Component

It’s not that humans are dumb We just sought a deeper slumber It led us toward a greater numb To feel the weight of the lumber To fight over gathering bread crumbs To gradually unveil our strength in numbers To find the joy in burning stumps Entropy became an addictive game Prevailing peace had bored […]

The Shine Above

Withholding your bold Makes your heart turn cold In my life before I snuffed my shine To realize I crossed a bitter line The burden I set to leave Only deepened the grief A soldier who lost Must pay the cost For giving up on love And embrace his shine above

Our Grand Incline

I stepped back from the ledge For sure it still exists But I make the pledge I will always persist You can push me off And I will just fl That makes you scoff Like I gave you a line But I don’t fear the coffin That makes you gasp You run from so often […]
