We played with death
So, we could be alive
We knew that’s a risk we shouldn’t take
But we are keen on life anyway
Since begging for death is the only way we could survive
We made it our profession till the beginning of life
^^^
One never chooses life
One accepts it as a precious gift
For one cannot face the vacuum of inexistence
Therefore, imagining heaven and hell was part of the game
^^^
We enjoyed the warm of this fire
It could burn us entirely
We loved it anyway
For outside was a palace of icicles
^^^
We danced till our heads spin
We were bad in each other’s eyes
Life gives us no other choice
Thus, we thought we were great for heaven
^^^^
It was me in your dream
It was you in my mind
We couldn’t imagine any future outside our crazy love
Our story was the dream that kept us awakened

We'z Walking on a Path Ruled By Numbers
This road has felt endless, yet limited; every step tracked. Inching away along this path, I feel trapped. Confined. Left to this narrow passage that may one day amount to something greater. Time is not a concept. Only distance. From start to finish, I laugh and cry and attempt to convince myself that this is worth it. I cannot stray. I must keep going. Every step etched, is a step taken, is measured as more than before. I cannot even recall how I got here. Maybe I don’t even really exist. Just another tick marking off a perceived presence. Of what though? I am just another line drawn. Nothing more, nothing less.
