ACROPHOBIA
ACROPHOBIA songer .co/song/r8btoho3abg0psszqle86vkb [Verse 1] Girl, I’m caught between the thrill and the fall, Your shadow’s tracing cracks across my wall. Electric hum beneath my skin, Addicted to the mess I’m in. [Pre-Chorus] Whispers call me higher, but I grip the rail, Chasing sparks that flicker — I can’t bail. Every heartbeat’s a quiet fight, Lost inside your soft, electric light. [Chorus] Acrophobia, yet I’m chasing the...

The Dagger
I’m reminded of you in everything and everywhere. You’re the coolest thing for the eyes to see. The most beautifully crafted piece in the collection. The harmless object when it’s inside its box. I see you in the sharpness of everything and everywhere. You’re the scariest thing for the heart. The deadliest weapon for the soul. The...

Premium Member Tomato Soup
I never liked tomato soup - that thick slurry of red in a white bowl - childhood winters, Friday nights with a menacing dark pressing against the window as if trying to get in. Tomato soup looked too much like blood poured out of that suffering pictured in the vivid imagery hung along the stations of a child's mind no matter if blest by grace. When...

Yet I Stand
Where do I stand When presented with a choice Transported by a full force That lands me in a false chance Yet, I stand. Breaking the shackles That held me in my ankles So tight like a buckle Wrapped in my knuckles Yet, I stand. What is given is a Token The heart that bleeds is broken The life that fades is taken Certain thoughts can't be...

Panic
Heart beating too rapid to keep count, striking a beat to its own drum. Breath like hot acid with every forced inhale. Mouth now too wet, tongue feels too big for where it used to fit. Skin too hot, now slick with cold sweat. Stomach dropping like you just fell three...

Overthink
If I could hit pause. If I could hit replay. Just for one more day, to not overthink or sink. Just to converse and try not to curse. To not be overly friendly or overly petty. To not be overly stark or overly dark. Maybe one day....

The Fog of Lost Souls
In shadows thick where silence weeps, The fog rolls in—its secret keeps. A mournful veil, a breathless moan, It swallows light, leaves hearts alone. This cursed ground, where echoes stay, Of laughter lost and minds astray. A prison forged from sorrow’s seam, Where memories drift like half-formed dreams. No stars to guide, no dawn to see, Just whispers caught in memory. Each step you take,...
