We both lie


Wind rushing from the window sill

Empty afternoon visiting still

What's left of world was black and grey

Bu i was stuck in a lavender haze

And I looked into your eyes, hoping, moping

About the sacrifice,

Is it worth it? All the fights?

I believe in humans just not humanity

Because unusual, is considered insanity



My yellow canary, my sordid beloved

Its your spirit that I find inside me

To continue daily

Don't do them dirty, not us

They'd think they should've raised us better

I’ve said this before a hundred thousand times

Let the mother hear, let her wake, its time

If love is treachery a rogue I will be

Because what is Venus

But a contentions women merely

I had a dream before you, thats all I had

I had Mars in your halos, I saw Venus afraid

But thats another trajectory and we’re

Never crashing



Maybe Orphus looked back because a promise want enough

Pasiphae, Medusa, Perdix, werent they all roughed?

Your face is what i hide behind my eyes now

Your memories are what I’ll loose

In apollos prophecies in Zeus’s feuds

What good has it been, the journey till yet?


If janus knocks tomorrow

Let him bet

Because I know my choice I know my faith

And my angel to whom i say Eros Philia Agape



Baby don't say that so easily, what will the court think

I like you honey, I like you alive a little better

I do want wooden horse commander

Just'nt the trojan

Sir, as my katoptirs is already broken




Are we above them to be together however still

Are noth them see the reason beneath

They say demeter likes to rob them

Achillies, Hercules, narcicces all are fine

But you my love, you ARE MINE



Will we marry? When do we marry?

Call the priestess, call the bridesmaids

Call our flower gentlemen and our best mates

With white so bright it shines in your eyes

With red like murder, we did the survive

In the end we both lie

—- in sheets under a pink sky
