Next

In the wee small hours at noon one day I turn on darkness; the sky grows bright That night I polish the sun so it gleams Each thing I do, simply because of you I walk the widest ocean to swim uphill Turn myself inside out, if you love me Smash time’s hourglass, so please […]

The game is rigged, tiger behind every door No matter our choice, streamed, disc or vid, Murder, mayhem our drug, demands […]
