an unwanted departure

an unwanted departure (demo)

When flooded out
When you flood it out, so miserable
Trauma shocks the brain
As I run away

Ever since I was a kid
Wolves circled my head
Darkness encircles it
False bottoms within

When the lungs run out
Of oxygen, understandable
And the silhouette
Stops swimming

There's no one out
Hide the lights
The Culm Measures speaking to me like a murder 
Long since forgotten about





Culm Measures

BRIGHT SKY (Demo)

The lights fall soft on her silvered hair,
A shimmer caught in the midnight air.

Her laughter drifts through the crowded room,
And every note cuts through the gloom.

And though the music pulls her near,
Her eyes find mine — I disappear.

The years between us melt away,
When she looks — when she looks my way.

She’s not the girl I met back then,
She’s more — she’s love, she’s life again.

I sit and watch, a silent prayer,
To keep her dancing, keep her there.

And though she twirls with someone new,
Her heart still whispers, “I see you.”

And in her glance, I see it clear —
The same young love that brought me here.

The night folds close, the lights grow dim,
But her gaze still pulls me back to then.

She turns once more — her eyes, they say,
“I’m yours, always… when I look your way.”
