Got VIP, priority,  Cos of my network Had Faith in the line, with love as my net worth  Dropped off coats, two for one Some tap water and out of date crisps Looking round I knew I didn’t fit in I got all 70s for a show in the now It was a little bit [...]

Walk with me Not against me The wind is pushing us My direction  So turn and head me Face the thing  You wish nature Would thrust you from Because every time you cut  The journey short You just end up on the long Way to Because every time You run from me I run faster [...]

The quicker you learn No one gives a fuck about you The better your life will be. Sounds funny, dunnit? I know. But I learnt recently That the more pressure you put on those Who don’t pick up on your frequencies The more free you are to love them At the capacity  They can receive [...]

When she was treating me terribly I justified it Because she loved me Love is ruination  It is promising not to leave Before you pack your bags And don’t bring your keys It is saying I’m the bad vibes When I’ve been dark all week but Should’ve turn light when she arrived It is saying [...]

I love it when you move like no one’s watching And under the guise of plastic reflection I see you, truly But you are clueless, you’re moving And I move less Because if I’m caught, the show’s over And I can’t bare to sit here for an hour With nothing but a digital reality And [...]

I don’t need some swashbuckling rogue To come sweep me off my toes And keep me off my feet Or come pirating my heartbeat  I don’t need saving from the defeat Of my femininity Or the deplete of my concrete When it becomes buttered meat  After he touches me I’m more than a maiden needing [...]

I didn’t feel the pain when I was with you But now it’s like my chest has been caved in  Paved in and pounded with metal fists Splintered by atomic hits Ripped like a prepubescent’s wrists And fitting like the lekky boxes’ trips  I keep tugging at my top ribs Hoping to alleviate some of [...]
