Low and Slow

Clouds of pain

Head Space

For the silent screams... Space, blank, bland Structured up and Set in a wasteland Away from man, secluded... Undiscovered I mean who would want to?

Letting Go

It feels like we are forcing this... Like non-consecutive loose pieces of a puzzle that will never fit It seems you’re stressing too hard to accommodate me Your heart doesn’t seem to want what your mind sees right My comfort annoys you...
