Awol In the Ixnayed Days

"AWOL in The Ixnayed Days" Pieces of me were stolen long before the war cluster f****d its way into the world today The peace of me swallowed in the coma that had settled where the buried mines and bombs in the silent streets of your mind lay Triggers for The Others - treason is a gift never to be considered PSYOP sleep walkers trip wired sleepless grenades shot from a mouth Spitfired Hornet burns the well-oiled Molotov hurt away wired the triggers to trip away in tune tap dancing fingers express the internal glitch a torn soul, split apart morse code signals over keys, notes attache attempting soft diplomacy, Kalashnikov all the way awol’d in the ixnayed days with the poetic legion and their gorgon demons dreaming of a time long before the poison spoon fed from that monster, Betrayal, had its way a note pinned over the heart X target for a clean mark painting pictures in numbers - give it your best shot (LadyLabyrinth / 2022) “I Appear Missing” / Queens of the Stone Age https://youtu.be/C9OfBcjyxKY
"Shock me awake Tear me apart Pinned like a note in a hospital gown Deeper I sleep Further down A rabbit hole never to be found"

"I'm not done yet. In fact I'm just getting started. I had goals. I had ideas, I had so many plans for my life. And they all changed. Over and over again. And sometimes that's a challenge. But most the time it's a gift. Because sometimes the place you really needed to go in life was somewhere you would never have planned on your own".

"That would be a good thing for them to cut on my tombstone: Wherever she went, including here, it was against her better judgment."
