how powerful music can be…

that’s just how powerful music can be. it’s such an aesthetic in our existence.

…some songs are just barely becoming safe again,
and some songs maybe never will be.

and i think that’s just how powerful music can be.
it’s such an aesthetic in our existence. we feel so much
from it, and because of it, and through it… and
so it can break us completely open in heartbreak,
but i wouldn’t trade that for how much it makes us feel
alive and free and infinite, and in love, in all of
the beautiful moments.

queen/king…

one that shouts to the heavens in your honor

you’ve been chasing down
the kind of love
that greets you with nothing more
than a shoulder shrug…
the kind that whimpers your name in apathy,

don’t you know that you deserve a love
that holds so much abundance,
one that shouts to the heavens in your honor

queen / king

sometimes what you feel about someone just isn’t enough

sometimes what you feel
about someone just isn’t enough.

it just isn’t.

because what they feel about themselves
will try to destroy what you feel about yourself
if you get close to them.
