СКАЧАТЬ will always seek to elevate you to a place we never been before

      And if you ever stumble, I hope to be the hand to catch you before you fall

      I will love you

      And love you

      Deeper than any man under God’s grace

      Hold you closer than my tomorrow

      And try to always kiss you like it’s the last goodbye

      To look into your eyes in a way that you never have to wonder why

      I love you

      Billie Jean

      Billie Jean was not my lover

      She was just a girl that beat a boy

      And showed the world that the other half of the sky

      Was just as bright

      That’s what happens when strong girls stand up to become great women

      With indominable wills to fight

      Same hands made to cradle

      Can be a fist hard enough to beat back the wrong

      And strong enough to hold back the night if he won’t hang her stars

      Because angels can’t be heavenly through ceilings of glass

      And stereotypes that last way past feminist ideals

      Held victim to princess hopes and pink pony dreams

      And then there was Billie Jean

      That girl that was not my lover

      But a mother and a sister

      And always a daughter

      A woman standing firm

      Strong enough to beat a boy

      And take the world past just trying

      To a firm path to equality

      Those Damn Eyes

      hung low

      a head turned in the direction of a heart spurned

      forever thirsty for lost embraces

      and kisses that taste like tomorrow

      a brain stained with traces of hope’s demise

      legs that couldn’t blame fate for a destiny turned away

      arms without an excuse to hold on

      and lips that stayed firm

      but those damn eyes

      just wouldn’t let go

      they told the story in watery verses

      still pleading silently to say

      they would rather go blind

      than to see him walk away

      Mercy

      All the tears cried

      Can never dilute the blood spilled

      With thoughts so resolute, they gave birth to deeds

      Things lost in moments when blurred lines become stains

      Bodies claimed by the outline of chalk and police tape

      So many lost dates and loves

      Just because the only way out was a desperate path

      Across souls bent on revenge

      Deaf from the drums of basic respect

      A thing not earned but innate

      With eyes wide open and late from paranoia

      Too tired from running to see

      Mercy alone was the answer

      Paradise Lost

      This is for that paradise lost

      And how that wretched Satan accosts

      Every generation of our souls

      In quest to confound with that age-old riddle of original sin

      Thus, it began where it always begins in our pandemonium

      “The World was all before [us], where to choose

      [our] place of rest, and Providence [our] guide

      [We], hand in hand, with wandering steps and slow

      Through Eden took our solitary way”

      As did Adam, so did Eve

      Step across the threshold of fiery swords sent to impede

      Leaving but dust-laden footprints to mark the path

      That free will chose

      A memorial to innumerable curses

      All but children of one fatal choice

      Told forever in the greatest of all words

      Burned eternal and forever reiterated

      To satisfy this ignoble flesh

      For that which I do I allow not

      For what I would, that do I not

      But what I hate, that do I

      As it is written it is true

      No man can serve two masters

      Loyalty being such a fickle creature

      Torn with eyes to the lamb

      Hearts infected with bestial nature

      Though reprehensible and immoral

      Desires bear thoughts

      Thoughts bear deeds and repercussions so deplorable

      I chose

      We chose

      Because СКАЧАТЬ
