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/

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 army
can 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//
