Corner of our own

Substitutes

身代りはいらない
身代りがほしいのではない
損なわれても生きられるから
大事そうに木偶を抱く人も
他人を責めることは好むが
自分が糺される段になると
木偶を投げ捨てて逃げ去る
街灯の丸い光の下でわたしは
捨て去られ首のもげた木偶を
くらい運河の水に蹴落とした

I don't need a substitute.
I don't want a substitute.
I can live even if I'm damaged.
People who cherish their puppets love to blame others, but when it comes time for them to be held accountable, they throw the puppet away and run away.
Under the light of a street lamp, a puppet with its head torn off has been abandoned. I kicked the puppet into the dark waters of the canal.

North 
Towards the white pole
South
Towards the red heron
The pulse beats wild and straight.

Beloved muse
Threshold of my longing
It is you who makes my soul flicker
Like a curtain of stars.

In the well of time
The years multiply their swarm
O you, my loveless traitor
Must you torture me still?

Open my chest
You will see it is full of snow
The snow of your name
Covering stamens of blood.

I will make you feel
What you do not want to feel.

Seen for the last time...

The Snow of Your Name

Its late, the systems are in maintenance mode, intel suggests that the production systems are vulnerable, time to put those infosec skills to use.

Midnight Hack

Home truth

Filature Failure

In the dark, we come alive
Feel the heat, the passion, the drive
The world spins with every touch
We crave, we need, we want so much

I see you moving in the flashing light
Your eyes, they catch me, it's a fevered night
No stopping now, we're crossing the line
In your arms, we lose all sense of time

Hold on tight, we’re breaking through
Your touch ignites a flame, burning true
Feel the rush, it's pulling us near
Let it take us, let go of the fear

We’re lost in the fire, spinning higher
Touch me now, we’re chasing the desire
You’re everything I need, it's all I want
Let the music take control, we’re never done

Every step, every move, we collide
We’re wild and free, there's no place to hide
The night is ours, we'll dance until dawn
When we’re together, we can't go wrong

Hold on tight, we’re breaking through
Your touch ignites a flame, burning true
Feel the rush, it's pulling us near
Let it take us, let go of the fear

We’re lost in the fire, spinning higher
Touch me now, we’re chasing the desire
You’re everything I need, it's all I want
Let the music take control, we’re never done

You and me, we’ll never fall
In this world, we own it all
Step by step, we’re walking tall
Together, we’ll break every wall

We’re lost in the fire, spinning higher (spinning higher)
Touch me now, we’re chasing the desire (the desire)
You’re everything I need, it’s all I want (all I want)
Let the music take control, we’re never done (never done)
Feel it now, feel it now... Don’t stop, don’t stop...

Wild And Free
