2024
Trumpets bring the angels, but they never came
And no one let them in 'cause they didn't know my name
I know I keep my feelings so tucked away
Just another day spent hoping we don't fall apart
So drop a bomb on all the things we dreamed aboutSmash all the guitars
'Til we see all the stars
Oh, got to throw this year away, we got to throw this year away like
A bad luck charm
6 a.m., Mulholland Drive, Moonlight Sonata and I
First movement, you and I and a screw-top bottle of wine
I've unspooled on the floor. I feel so "A Star Is Born"
Kiss my cheek, baby, please. Would you read my eulogy?I will never ask you for anything except to dream sweet of me.
I will never ask you for anything except to dream sweet of me.Tell me, when the party ends, will you still love who I am, I am?
Scar-crossed lovers forever. I'm checking myself out forever.
I'm saving this all for later
Listen and Get Inspired!
Music and my personal brand of art will always be deeply intertwined. While I create, there is almost always a song or a lyric that inspired the feeling, that in turn inspires my art. This piece was inspired by lyrics from the songs I Am My Own Muse and Heaven, Iowa by Fall Out Boy.
Check out the song that started it all and support the artist who helped me create mine (by giving their music a listen)!
