  • In Blur – deafheaven

    “Forgive the trembling love,
    I’m weak and acting bold
    And alone”


    The rhythmic and melodic layering in this song is amazing. The atmosphere it radiates chills you.


    In blur, farther
    Glanced over stirred
    Imagined you laughing
    Muddied feet dancing
    What is this aching prism?
    This prison wincing
    Receiving sudden swaths of dogma

    Wandering over royal yonder
    Wandering over flooded ground again

    (What does daylight look like?)
    What does daylight look like in this chaos of cold?
    (What does daylight look like?)
    Solitude and falling into respites now

    In blur, hovered
    Accepted devotion
    Unearthed, bleeding ark of creation

    Wandering over royal yonder
    Wandering over flooded ground again

    (What does daylight look like?)
    What does daylight look like in this chaos of cold?
    (What does daylight look like?)
    Solitude and falling into respites now
    (What does daylight look like?)
    What does daylight look like in this chaos of cold?
    (What does daylight look like?)
    Solitude and falling into respites now

    Forgive the trembling love,
    I’m weak and acting bold
    And alone

  • Curse

    Curse

    Energy
    Given freely
    Is as breathing
    For me
    Understanding
    Until now, ive had so much of it
    But, frankly
    I
    Am
    Utterly
    Exhausted
    I
    Speak Truth
    I
    Endless hope
    I
    Set
    Boundries
    I
    Don’t give up
    ……Why do I feel guilty?


    Truth
    I
    am
    prey
    Human predators smell empathy
    As
    Sharks smell blood in the water
    Allowing myself to be used
    without equal reciprocity
    Used
    Endless cycle(s) of neglect
    Affection to weapon
    Sex to Weapon
    Shrunk as weapon
    Tool of endless emotional grounding
    Control
    Power
    Stability
    Comfort


    I
    Am
    Tired
    …….So very very tired
    And I’m afraid
    I
    Have
    Changed
    I
    Am
    Broken
    Victim
    Survivor
    Pariah

    Empathy is a curse
