The most beautiful thing about heartbreak is that it connects all beings past, present, and future.  

Dedicated to those who share this connection. It only gets better.

Inspired by John Milton's Paradise Lost.

Lyrics:

CANTO I: 

Babel has fallen - the words make no sense
40 days and nights to repent or even regret
and I can't even forget - what is this design
to torment the heart by placing the signs so easy to find 
I'm losing my mind - I'm losing my faith
My Paradise Lost
I am the devil who torn down the cross to reign in this hell, but what is the cost...
shit...and she was my spirit; she gave me the spirit 
but just like a spirit she doesn't exist and these words, 
she will not hear it - and I fear it
like moving beyond us, moving beyond 
when love cremates and burns to Armageddon at the Pearly Gates
I'mma getting candid: Leviticus 1:9:8
No pride, no hate, no, envy, just excommunicated
with no ex-communication, time to summon my demons
and end all relations - now what's this sudden elation?
A true revelation where a hell of a heaven is heaven on hell:
"Arise or forever be fallen"
We were both meant to be free, but what have I broken

CANTO II:

This is my paradise
This is my paradise lost

This is my paradise
This is my paradise lost

This is my paradise
This is my paradise lost
But it feels like paradise

This is my paradise
This is my paradise lost
But it feels like...

CANTO III:

Truth be told I still feel residuals, still touching the visuals
of a glory so high this chemical romance dementia abysmal
So beautifully simple, deceptive, and fleeting - like a heathen believing
in benevolence of a goddess - Kwan Yin - was it even kindness
no mercy in violence from a force of a thousand hands, 
she pushed as we lie in silence
Please a moment of silence...
for the repressed voices not yet to regret the choice of a lover's last leap
into the abyss with a depth like infinite leagues 
she glares back with a stare so cold that could even make hell freeze
help please - god tell me - was it in your plan from the start 
for the human heart to be a vessel for the void so empty 
then I reject thee - false majesty, who giveth and taketh away
Don't tell me you love me - cause the right to love belongs not to the selfish - only to the brave.

CANTO IV:

So perish the thought that this soul can be saved
becoming the dragon that flows with the flames
embrace the self that laid low nations
navigate floods come judgement day
come what may....
mea culpa

My First Real Song...

It took me almost 7 years to get out of my hubris; I never realized how much courage it took to really dig deep and write a song from the heart. I have the utmost respect for all songwriters and their ability to just simply do it.

This is the working mix as reference for the directors who are helping me out with the Music video - Cage homes is an affliction in Hong Kong...

If you've never heard of this subject, here is a CNN video that briefly describes the long existing problem here in the city I love; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5hlF2RYdY0

I will be working with several foundations after this song is 100% finished in hopes that something can be done.

Special thanks to Jonnic Thompsett, Tarr Shiu, Candace Poon, Victor Tse amd Vicky Fung.
