Recalling days of burned countryside

Child of our time quotes

Its motive from the fact you cannot listen
With rhymes for your waking, rhythm for your sleep

Our idle talk has cost
Sleep in a world your final sleep has woken

Feels the heat

Survives

Things are getting ready to happen our of sight
But not yet
Yellow as butter

The bridge
We
The feather and muscle of wings
Fire and air
Hero
Their mouths opened and their voices failed
I am your wife, it was years ago
