1: “come linger, worry not, remember”

3: ”our blaze is young”

4: “without dirt, who are we?”

5: “ghost bugs embrace your ferocious body”

6: “may present eternity melt to a fevered morning”

These lyrics have been floating around in my head for years, so I decided it was finally time to do something with them. As an exercise in being a “real” artist, I decided to channel my big emotions into my art. Life is hard and we have little control over what happens to us, but sometimes that feels good to lean into.
