Tick-Tock Tautogram
The tall treetops tremble
The tall treetops tremble
Tenuously they sway
The twilight's tender touch
The tempting taste of day
Tired travelers trudge
Through tough terrain and turf
The turbulent tides turn
The turmoil never heard
Thick, tangled thorns twist
The thistle's thorny throne
The thrumming of the bees
The tickling of the drone
Tongues tied in tension
Thoughts that twist and turn
The ticking of the clock
The tremors as we yearn
Tales told in tautograms
Tantalizing to the ear
The tick-tock of the tongue
The trick of words sincere
The tall treetops tremble
Tenuously they sway
The twilight's tender touch
The tempting taste of day

The Dreich
Dreich is borrowed from Scots dreich (“hard to bear, dreary, tedious, wearisome; interminable, long-winded; dull, uninteresting; slow, tardy; doleful, gloomy; baffling, difficult; difficult to reach, inaccessible”), from Middle English dregh, dri, drie (“burdensome; depressing, dismal; large, tall; lasting, long; long-suffering, patient; tedious; of blows: hard, heavy; of the face: unchanging, unmoved; of a person: strong, valorous”)

Victim or Survivor
TW: Mention of self harm and suicide attempts I'll preface this article with I have never listened to any other songs by Citizen Soldier. I had never heard of them until I found out from an Icon for Hire stream where they told fans about an "upcoming collab," being with Citizen Soldier. As soon as I saw that it was on Spotify, I listened to it over and over... And over because of the lyrics.

Beautiful! I really enjoyed the imagery here and the sharp sound of 't' in contrast with the soft 'th' sound. Congrats on top story!
