Love

say “adaptation,” not “adaption”/

mute the movie, read the captions/

blast good music from contraptions/

instrumentals made with passion/

so damn tired of distractions/

gotta let go of attachments/

let’s not split up into factions/

stupid gangs with stupid captains/

break it down like simple fragments/

love’s the answer we must access/

break it down like simple fractions/

love is merely conscious action/

Shadow

ME AND MY SHADOW// you and what army 

can harm me if I don’t HAND YOU THE AMMO//

GIVE YOU THE M.O.// inSTRUCTIONAL DEMO//we’ll SPEAK OF THE DEVIL// you’re LOOKING DISHEVELED//

there *ISN’T* A DEVIL, only DEVIL IS DEVO//de-evolution, there’s no SUCH THING AS EVIL//

only ABSENCE OF LIGHT// you and what armycan harm me if I don’t ACCEPT THE FIGHT//

ME AND MY SHADOW// LET’S NOT BE SHALLOW//run DEEP LIKE STILL WATERS// we’re still SONS AND STILL DAUGHTERS//

some were stillborn, still OTHERS MISCARRIED//

but you and I made it, so beFORE WE GET BURIED//

or RATHER CREMATED// let’s make stuff we love

and just MAKE IT TO MAKE IT//

not to QUOTE UNQUOTE MAKE IT// you KNOW, BECOME FAMOUS//you, me, and my shadow — vulneraBLE AND COURAGEOUS//
