So I have a list of names,
scribbled fast in the half-light.
People who left cracks in the room,
words that still buzz in my spine.

I don’t keep them to hate,
I keep them so I know what I survived.

Names in smoke, rise and roam.
Names in smoke, find their home.
Breathe them out, let shadows go,
Names in smoke, rise and roam.

The air tastes like salt and old paper,
my heart beats like a drum in a basement.
I strike a match, the flame licks blue,
every letter curls like it’s telling the truth.

This is my exorcism,
but it’s for me, not them.

Names in smoke, rise and roam.
Names in smoke, find their home.
Breathe them out, let shadows go,
Names in smoke, rise and roam.

No prayers, no perfect words,
just the hiss of the match and the sound of letting go.
I watch the dark turn soft and gold,
and I feel lighter than I’ve ever known.

Names in smoke, rise and roam.
Names in smoke, find their home.
Breathe them out, let shadows go,
Names in smoke, rise and roam.

Spells to cast this October

Names in Smoke

“Gravity” by CEEZED is a melodic reflection on love’s pull — a force that both grounds and lifts the soul.
Warm synths and heartfelt vocals blend into a weightless yet deeply human pop sound.

Gravity

like this

The Trip” is a hallucinatory dive into a cocaine-fuelled dreamscape — where time bends, memories blur, and the self drifts between fantasy and confession. A surreal mix of escape, confrontation, and reflection, it captures the highs and shadows of a mind spiralling through time.

My Confessions

Said Too Much

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.”


When She Looks My Way

Tariffs Tear Rifts

Every Friday night
In a bar on a stage with no lights
Someone calls a name that’s not mine
And they play my favorite song
Where the planes fly
Every second and every third line
Someone holds a little bit too tight
And they sing along

And I feel all right
It’s so good to be home
And I feel alive
Like I’ll never be gone
It’s a sanctuary city
And they sing my song

Take a long walk
To the small corner store on my block
It’s a lot farther than I thought
But the people there are kind
On the sidewalk
Is a tall man who tells me I’m lost
And he asks if I have the time
And I ask him why

And he says
“All right
It’s so good to be home
And I feel alive
Like I’ll never be gone
It’s a sanctuary city
And they sing my song”

They say if you can make it here
You can make it anywhere
But it’s really just the best place to be

And I feel all right
It’s so good to be home
And I feel alive
Like I’ll never be gone
It’s a sanctuary city
And they sing my song
It’s a sanctuary city
And they sing my song

Ce n’est pas une chanson d’amour, mais une lumière qui s’ouvre, une respiration, un miroir, une main tendue..

Témoin tranquille

A sharp critique of elitist complacency, symbolizing disruption against the "fool’s gold" establishment.

Fool's Gold

I know you're very tired
You're about to stop
You're very tired
You may finally drop

You can't just end it
Let it all go
Let it all fall
End it very slow

You have more to do
Don't say no
I believe in you

It will make you strong
Make you unique
Fix your soul
Develop and speak

To your heart and soul
With love you give
In what you do
It's time you live

It's time you live

Find your purpose
Find your purpose
Share your love
Your soul will surface

Find your purpose
Find your purpose
Share your love
Your soul will surface

With your dreams
You, will take them far
With your dreams
Before, you are gone

Don't say no
You have more to do
Don't say no
I believe in you

That will make you strong
Make you unique
Fix your soul
Develop and speak

To your heart and soul
With love you give
In what you do
It's time you live

It's time, you live
It's time, you live

Find your purpose
Find your purpose
Share your love
Your soul will surface

Find your purpose
Find your purpose
Share your love
Your soul will surface

Don't say no
You have more to do
Don't say no
I believe in you

To your heart and soul
With the love you give
In what you do
It's time you live
