warmthofrelease could you imagine having the capacity to feel everything
how long would it take before it all started to feel the same
before everything felt like nothing
before nothing felt like everything

(April 2015)



how many times will this thing end
before it begins?

how much paradise can you buy
before you're forced to sell?

I know it's gonna hit me
before it helps me

(June 2016)



don't mistake concern for interest

I've assaulted them both before
on the living room floor
