BAD LAW

My baby surrendered to fate
And I couldn’t even say how I felt later on that evening
Stating my name to the officer’s aide was in vain 
Cause I knew they were out to get me

Place four of five fingers flat on a sticky plastic bat
Scan my blue bloodshot eyes for the history of my trials

When crimes are passionate can love be separate?

En route to my cell I retraced every step
and found a way to redact and retell my story
No evidence and no witness to summon or finesse
I confess, it all sounds unlikely

A sweaty, paranoid palm pressed against a leathered wall
The law in all its flaws, me in an oversized overall 

When crimes are passionate can love be separate?

Baby it’s a bad, bad law 
It’s a bad, bad law, Geronimo
Baby it’s a bad, bad law 
It’s a bad, bad law, Geronimo
 
I straddled out on the stand
My defense scrawled on my hand
Killed time and time again but then I lost again

When crimes are passionate can love be separate?

Somewhere

Nikko's first attempt at 7 had her singing impromptu about the happy life of Smurfs at the top of her lungs in the shower without knowing there were guests in the house. The embarrassment could have killed her then unbeknown talent, had it not been for her father's old classical Congress guitar lying around with only 2 bottom strings. Forgotten until discovered at 15, she had attempted to play Greenday's When I Come Around. With no guitar knowledge, the only thing she could do with that dear old Congress was to write her own songs. From then on, her love for songwriting grew stronger and stronger.

She had signed up for organ classes when she was much younger but dropped out and although Jingle Bells impeded her organ/pedal-chord-melody playing potential, the musical ghosts of her childhood never stopped haunting her.

Drawing from the likes of The Carpenters, Elvis Presley, The Every Brothers, David Bowie, Mötley Crüe, Guns n' Roses, Bananarama, Take That, and in later years, Alanis Morissette, Sheryl Crowe, Jewel, Matchbox 20, Our Lady Peace, No Doubt, John Mayer, Jason Mraz, Sondre Lerche, The Magic Numbers, Bruno Mars and Ed Sheeran, her love for music has never wavered.

Till this day, she still finds scraps of odd poems written since she was 5, of which she archives for sentimentalism, inspiration and a bit of laughs.
