I Held Her Close to Your Flame I would have seen you silence the echoes I would have been there when you capture your tormentors I wonder now, were you ever capable Hindsight menaces my memories You turned your pain on my lover I just needed your decency, respect for my own I held her close to your flame, but never again I’m listening to your maddening deflections You’re trapped inside your own reflection You turned your pain on my lover Conversing with your projection of me You are unaware of your own solitude The longer you try to cow my distrust The further you obscure the elegant truth You can’t see me; I can’t help you anymore

God Embodiment / Eroded Stone It wasn't just that my eyes were lower, you were taller then Piercing your subject and imprinting free It wasn't only my loving bias, you commanded men Feared and respected, you were God embodiment The world beyond the mountains The steps after the crest I couldn’t be more afraid I strived for half your chest Get up old man, you’re a slovenly mess Eroded like a stone from lethargy You suckle poison, dwell with the dead Get up and fight decline Get up and thrive for us; fight with the fury your youth defined Get up and fight decline Get up and thrive for us if you won’t do it for yourself

The Fertile Crescent You’re smashed from the frame, You drop from our door I’d rather display empty space than dig anymore I have ceased to be surprised I won't ask again; you're free from this friend A circle emerged but it was a false constellation Faces fade, they're fading away An artifact in my palm Holding no meaning anymore A brick begets another brick To lay or lay waste A brick begets another brick Rally around a set of principles Forging from pure materials Now with bleach white paper, and our child to inscribe We declare independence, new sovereignty With the riches of history abandoned to time We will sift through the earth We will trust again
