1.
Realign 03:46
an ocean’s length that separates shores of past disintegrate treading tradition to see if a path clears a light behind me disappears gasp of breath in the face of fear treading tradition to see a path, but I can’t see past my hands drifting aimless with arms outstretched tangled vines take hold of my neck can I find a way to a place I can call home?
2.
we see them stalking resentful with lust in their eyes guilt from their act still on their hands we intend to survive call them all by name then break every chain nothing is forever take care of each other when our world collapses we will die together call them by name burn every cloak so they can be seen call them by name look at their hands remember the stains call them by name conjure the past then bear the weight sever the wrists the hands we remove hold the chains were are trying to break
3.
4.
trapped in my thoughts I’m held hostage in body I dwell do you know the feeling of being divided by imaginary lines?
5.
endless pieces lost in ripples sinking steady taken in wars the lives that we buried the children we starve the shores that we litter with debt paid in
6.
you just say her name you just feel her pain tracing separate circles in time counting the points where we collide past and present torn reflection different paths same direction it’s an unforgiving reminder: nothing takes away the price we pay to own our pain. we own our pain.
7.
Nước 01:53
drag yourself out, out from the past leave it in time, it will outlast the void that you carry heavy on your back tracing fingers along reflections retracting in shame you ask yourself “mày là ai” (who are you?)
8.
Unseen 02:42
unseen isolated unclean unfamiliar unseen isolated and captive outcast presence I tried to have stand alone stand aside your norms are not mine
9.
Disinter 04:51
thorn in my mind lost will, lost time grasping nothing weight keeps crushing I close my eyes stranded in time open them after I feel the pressure drop
10.
Haiyan 04:28
it’s easy to feel alone in this world of pieces left behind and built on your parents’ backs. there’s nothing you can do when you see it crumble all around you. we’re here with you. we’ll stay with you. we’re still with you. when your storm passes we will light your way there. when your path darkens we will light your way there.
