Like peacocks wandering the walkways of the zoo, who have twice the autonomy the giraffes and the tigers do, saying: "No one can stop me! No one can stop me! No one clips my claws! Now, everyone watch me! Everyone watch me, scale these outside walls!"

Want to live like an animal? By the skin of your teeth? Put your good face on, not foolin' no one - you're a jackrabbit underneath.

So may the sunrise bring hope where it once was forgotten.

Into dirt, into dust - it's an ordinary loss. Everyone that you love, they're here and then they're gone.

Never forget. The remains of what we used to have, were taken away by the softest squeeze. How did I forget? How…

Do you remember when we were little? We were playing in the park, and you asked me what happens when we die.

I said, "You forget everything. Everything."

"Even you?" you asked.

"Yes, even me."

You did not want to die.

Eons agone, these lands were rife with Gods and their adherents. What befell this pantheon? Alas. 'Tis the nature of beasts to forget, and of Gods to be forgotten. Mayhap they left. Mayhap they slept. Mayhap they devoured and were devoured in turn.

She asks that I tell you to remember her.

You won't.

I wept, I keened… But how can one say no to a God? Wherever they be, I hope they are as devoted and loving as I!

O what good are hearts if they cannot be given? I thought to keep mine to myself, once. Two kits I did have, true love found! And yet one lackadaisy summer day, my beautiful children were taken away… a gift, they said, for the one they loved most, the one that waits…

"Sleep well." Her voice was a wolf, dogging his steps. It chased him into the dark.

Shoot it down
Pull the wings out
I am waiting
Shoot it down
With copper bullets
I am waiting

Islands caught in the middle
Islands unto ourselves
I’ve been forced to remember
Everything I want to forget

With eternal love, the stars above
All there is and ever was
I want it all, I want it all

I don't wanna be buried in a pet sematary - I don't want to live my life again!

Everyone will die, and everyone will lose. So, what are you going to do with the moments you have before it's you?

everything has a slow decay, but contempt’s bloom is forever

Arise, mother of misery. Arise, as divine sorrow. I offer up all I am, so that you may feast on me.

Wake up, Birdboy, wake up. Come on, get up. Don't be afraid. This could be a great day. It would be a shame to waste it.

And even over their cries, and the roars of the beasts, I hear Darkness call to me with a promise. But I close myself, I will not join her yet. Another call is more beautiful, and I will chase it back to you.

Darkness pays Orr a visit. With billowing robes of blackened silk, she beckons us, arms outstretched. I see my brothers walk forward, greet her as a friend. So many fold themselves into her embrace.

What we saw... What I saw... This can only end in misery and desolation! No life, no star, nor the universe itself... None should hope for better!

A sorrow so deep only emptiness remains.

When I was close, I hurt him. Yet being distant hurt him more.

I finally found my place in life. A place where I am as close as possible, yet eternally distant.

my battery is low and it's getting dark

I saw how the fine form of man was degraded and wasted; I beheld the corruption of death succeed to the blooming cheek of life; I saw how the worm inherited the wonders of the eye and brain.

FIRST ENCOUNTER
WITH
MY LOVER

FAILED TO CONNECT
WITH
MY LOVER

FAR AWAY
WENT
MY LOVER

WITH DEATH
WENT MY LOVER
TO ETERNITY

Under seige by what you can no longer remember.
