VOXES: STIMULANT LYRIC STARTERS. starters from the Sig Figs Collective’s album Voxes: Stimulant, a fan album dedicated to Dimension 20′s The Unsleeping City. Change pronouns / lines as needed!

TIMES GONE BY.

“ our fears have eyes that see the futures we could manifest. “ “ hold on tight those who know you true. “ “ don’t forget all of the years that made you into someone worth more than just a couple pearls. “ “ dream a bigger dream. “ “ when we’re left a choice and all the voices fade, will we trust the ones who lift us up? “ “ the things we need are already inside. “ “ there’s a sun on the horizon. “ “ will we make it there? “ “ we can make it there! “ “ throw avarice aside. “ “ we’ll take a cup of kindness yet for times gone by. “

OF ALL THINGS.

“ you abandoned them. “ “ where did you go? did you even love your family? “ “ you belong in the sewer. you’re a fucking rat. “ “ make sure you say goodbye. “ “ i’ve lived a life that’s small and putrid, drowning in regret. “ “ there are things that i’ve done that i’d like to forget. “ “ i know i’ve stained your soul with abandonment and pain. “ “ . . . you don’t seem to mind. “ “ you conduct your work with pride. “ “ now how do i depart? “ “ you’re the best son that i could’ve asked for. “ “ i don’t deserve all this love without heed. “ “ i can’t help but wonder what things you will achieve. “ “ if i was a better father, i would have worked harder and would have gone farther to see you succeed. “ “ i love you more than all things. “ “ i spent so many years defiant, feeling sorry for myself. “ “ i slowly recognized the suffering i’ve dealt. “ “ i developed the perspective to see others in distress. “ “ from that point on, i’ve aided my fellow dispossessed. “ “ you have the natural empathy that it took me years to see. “ “ i’m proud of the man you’ve become. “ “ you’re someone i wish i was when i was young. “ “ i ran away from my feelings, abandoned my family . . . “ “ you’re a fuckin’ ball - buster with a passionate luster to protect others without so much as a boast. “ “ i know you don’t forgive me. “ “ i would say i’m sorry, but there’s no apology that would let me hold you close. “ “ i have to go. “ “ i feel my consciousness expand. “ “ i can’t have what i want ; some dreams have to end. “ “ just know in your heart, i’ll be protecting you from somewhere. “ “ you saved us . . . you did it. “ “ you got to say goodbye. “

WALK WITH ME.

“ we were young then, back in our spring, but the leaves have all fallen. “ “ your name still lives in my throat. “ “ we were in love then. “ “ it’s not something we lost along the way. “ “ even if we made mistakes, they were the best i ever made. “ “ walk with me. “ “ i promise it will be easy. “ “ it all feels so new. “ “ let me get to know you. “ “ i don’t have anything to prove when i tell you i still love you. “ “ i’m sorry for the time i wasted. “ “ through the years, i always felt the same. “ “ i think it’s time i be a bit selfish. “ “ i’ve never been scared of the cold. “ “ if it’s with you, i want to grow old. “ “ let’s make some more memories. “ “ even if just for awhile, let’s try again. “ “ let’s make our dreams come true. “

LEEWAY.

“ it’s a really bitter lesson when you realize how much hope hurts you. “ “ life is full of so much light. it’s easy to remind yourself of what’s good. “ “ still, pain creeps in around the edges. “ “ sure, there might be roads that would be easier to walk, but the ones that we are on are all the better for the loss. “ “ when our paths cross, it’s worth for those fleeting seconds. “ “ i’ll stare down heaven, knowin’ that it’s pure perfection. “ “ the hope is worth the pain. “ “ when i look into your eyes, i can see a future i wanna live in. “ “ there’s nothing that we just can’t do. “ “ there’s magic all around us. “ “ you remind me how to wonder, how to dream what isn’t here yet. “ “ i’m not convinced that anyone could outshine you. “ “ i’d stare down god himself if it meant i got to spend just one second by your side. “ “ i’m learning there’s some lines that can’t be crossed. “ “ we’ll make it through whatever. “ “ there’s nothing that can’t keep us two together. “

SWORD GUY.

“ the government sucks. the establishment sucks. society fuckin’ sucks. but the devil? fuckin’ sick, dude. “ “ this hot topic’s a time capsule, vintage polaroid of like, ‘04. “ “ i stood at the black countertops as if they were an altar. “ “ he’s got, like, a marmot’s head. “ “ do you know what a marmot is? “ “ fuck, this shit looks looks fuckin’ sick, dude! “ “ my heart is as cold as the ice, like the ice in the parking lot but also hard, like the concrete that mixes with the ice, in the mall, in the parking lot. “ “ the pigs & the pit lions set to fight now and the gladiator? he is set to go down! “ “ bro, i’m like an even bigger lion, like a liger, and instead of claws i’ve got, like, twelve fucking swords, dude. “ “ the devil’s fuckin’ cool. “ “ i’m losin’ my grip, again. “ “ oh, i’m gonna be sick. i swear, i’m gonna be so fuckin’ sick, dude, sick as hell. “ “ like, an angel in the night, but not that boring kind of angel. “ “ bro, my wings are made of swords and i’ve got horns instead of halos! “ “ lucifer, beseech me! help me defeat my enemies! “ “ don’t be my oorichimaru. be my jiriya, maybe? “ “ he doesn’t have, like, snakes for arms or anything, so i think i’m good, right? “ “ i’m fine. this is fine. “ “ this is the devil. “ “ this is definitely the devil. i mean, he straight up said, ‘yes, i am the guy you just said,’ and i just said the devil . . . so? “ “ those tender thoughts i do refine. “ “ i am the one that you seek, so come hither. “

NOTHING.

“ what if, anything, stays? “ “ have you heard tale of the child who looks over every night? “ “ go visit them. “ “ you will be safe as their guest, but be sure not to leave their eyes. “ “ one by one, it kills the stars. “ “ its shadow makes the city bleed and the empty windows scream. “ “ do not step out into the deep. “ “ you will not wake up from that sleep. “ “ nothing. nothing stays. “

LONELY.

“ i’m so lonely. “ “ no one to hold me. no one to tell me it’s gonna be alright. “ “ dunno how all this happened, where i found all this sadness. “ “ seems it’s been a month since i saw my reflection and smiled. “ “ this city takes its toll. “ “ i’m losing all control of my heart, of my head, of my mind . . . “ “ tell me i’m gonna be fine. please, somebody tell me. “ “ i’m such a clown, naive and dumb. “ “ i’m facedown in the covers of my bed again. “ “ nothing bad is ever gonna happen. “ “ you don’t have to be alone. “ “ i can be there in a moment. “ “ i’ll be there for you, if you want me to. “ “ it’s hard to hold on. “ “ hold on. “ “ we look out for each other. “ “ is there someone bothering you right now? “ “ you can talk to me. let your guard down. “ “ does this have something to do with the things you saw? “ “ did it scare you? “ “ i know that people are harder to read sometimes. “ “ it’s confusing, figuring truth from lies. “ “ i’m here for you, and our friends are too. “ “ meet my eyes: you’re alive. you’re not alone again. “ “ pull up a seat, prop your feat, eat your fill, and then we’ll just exist. “ “ if tomorrow things get worse, we’ll do it all again. “

MANTRA.

“ these meetings of the mind always lead to contests of might. “ “ well, you hope to see fists fly ‘cause if it’s words, it’s ruined lives. “ “ sometimes, looking forward means you can’t watch your back. “ “ though it pains me to stop dreaming, it seems for now i need the past. “ “ a man can always smile to make it seem like he’s polite, but i know too many times it’s just a place where malice hides. “ “ he holds the power to jump from first place to last. “ “ i know i’m just as worth it. “ “ seems for now i’m trapped. “ “ status quo can’t be our ideology! “ “ things never got better by leaving them be! “ “ i won’t become the one that keeps the future bleak! “ “ i promise you, the fuckin’ buck will stop with me! “ “ don’t think that things are done just ‘cause you gave me little crumbs. “ “ i’m chasing down the sun, makin’ sure tomorrow comes. “

CITY LIGHTS.

“ wait, what did he just say? “ “ there’s those of us in gutters, those on sorts of stages. “ “ this city’s streets shouldn’t be lined with folks. “ “ these are the hearts, the hope, unlike ‘upstanding’ dopes like you, sir, running some kind of hoax. “ “ c’mon man, don’t fuck with my people! “ “ this is my block, these are my streets! this is my town, and this is my city! “ “ we won’t let no sycophantic, greedy, two - faced guy like you come here and corrupt the culture! “ “ the fuck you thinking? we are new yorkers! “ “ we’ll rise above your corporate torture. “ “ they lead us home tonight. “ “ we protect our own. “ “ we protect our home. “ “ you’ll be safe with us. “ “ ‘cause new york city and i will provide! “ “ i’ll be here serving and protecting until the day i die. “ “ no, what the fuck did you just say? “ “ my domain has encountered many a strange thing. “ “ know that, him? he is my people. yes, he is my people! “ “ we’ll channel our power, and for extra measure, kick your ass into the pavement. think of it as the city’s payment. “ “ these are the lights that welcome strangers home. “ “ maybe this city isn’t better off with me looking the other way. “ “ i’ve loved and then i sure have lost. “ “ would you take me? make me feel the same? “ “ life looks to be leading back to you today, and tomorrow, next week, next month. “ “ if i asked you for the night, would you stay? “ “ welcome all the dreamers to this beautiful skyline! “ “ i’m here flying high in this city. “ “ ain’t this swell? “ “ aren’t you pretty? “

WAKE UP.

“ it’s harder . . . it’s harder to think sometimes. “ “ my mind gets foggy. “ “ i start to sink sometimes into apathy. “ “ please, come talk to me. “ “ i’m part of something only few may comprehend. “ “ try not to slip back in again. “ “ it’s fantastic, amazing, how the world can open up to someone. “ “ it’s pleasant . . . the feeling i get when i can bring some sense of fun. “ “ dramatic, but it really feels like i’m becoming someone fantastic, phantasmal! “ “ here i am. i am the one! “ “ watch out! “ “ so run, if you’re hiding. “ “ don’t fear change. transformations incoming! “

VOXES: SOMNOLENT LYRIC STARTERS. starters from the Sig Figs Collective’s album Voxes: Somenolent, a fan album dedicated to Dimension 20′s The Unsleeping City. Change pronouns / lines as needed!

VOXES.

“ won’t you dream something good for those of us between what we can and what could? “ “ a foe strikes the city of sleepers. “ “ the breakdown is vivid. “ “ it’s harder again. “ “ there it goes again. “ “ won’t you get up and see what this city can offer t’ward your new york dream? “ “ our phantasmic, populous reign has begun! “ “ we speak for the people. we speak for the dreams. “ “ we protect the city that never sleeps. “ “ city lights are raging, wouldn’t you know? “ “ sit back, relax, and enjoy the show! “ “ we got you. no need to fret. “ “ take a breath and hold on tight. “ “ so, [name], here now, is it? “ “ let me gift you this name, as a collar of sorts. “ “ did you know that 4 + nothing means you’re eating eighty - one?! “ “ allow me to demonstrate the meaning of well - fucking - done! “ “ eat color, bastard! “ “ give me back my deity! “ “ don’t try to ever fuck with our friends! “ “ new york city’s now in quite the rage. “ “ nothing’s now something. “ “ i’m -- i’m, oh my god, i’m having a baby! [NAME], WE’RE HAVING A BABY! “ “ ah, shit, not again. “ “ hey, [name], you know they upped the cost to 50 cents a few years back. “ “ anyway, i can spot ya. take this, man. “ “ your minute is here. it is time to awaken. “ “ you’ve no time to fear. “ “ you’ve got nothing to lose. “ “ start spreading the news! “

NOTHING HAPPENS.

“ there’s a deer in the garden again. “ “ if i take another step, will this moment end? “ “ there’s a light in the cemetery. “ “ i know it’s not the one i’m looking for, but still . . . “ “ in shadows, i watch, silent and still. “ “ nothing happens when you think you want it to. “ “ nothing happens, even when it seems cruel. “ “ it seems tempting to make something happen. “ “ nothing happens. “ “ there’s this bustling of life all around me. “ “ i know they’re my friends. “ “ the night still feels so heavy. “ “ this city’s full of dreams. this city’s full of stories. “ “ the people here are better than they seem. “ “ even nothing feels like something. “ “ this city’s worth exploring, just to find the thing that makes it worth the pain. “ “ something happens when you least expect it to. “ “ something happens when the world feels its most cruel. “ “ when it happens, you’ll be back into the swing of things. “ “ you step out of that shadowed place to make it happen. “

YOU WOULDN’T LIKE ME.

“ i’ve lived a life of solitude. “ “ this cursed business left its claws in me. “ “ i’ve still got some habits & some thoughts that i thought i could leave. “ “ my fears are coming true. “ “ you turned the minds of the people i thought i knew. “ “ if my hands stop shaking, can i reel it all in? “ “ i wish i knew better. i’m s’pposed to be leading these people. “ “ the fuck are the lot of you doing with someone like HIM?! “ “ within these walls, i learned a thing or two. “ “ i try to fill my mentor’s shoes. “ “ don’t fuck with our legacy. “ “ don’t think i’ll just let it be. “ “ think fast. “ “ nothing bad will happen. “ “ NO ONE FUCKS WITH [NAME]! “ “ I WON’T LET THIS BE! “ “ my blood may be cursed, but i can still spill yours. “ “ i’m not letting you hurt his beautiful face. “ “ he can handle himself. “ “ you have ‘til the count of three. 1 . . . 2 . . . what the fuck are you waiting for?! “ “ just because i live a dangerous life doesn’t mean it can be sacrificed. “ “ you wouldn’t like me when i’m sad. “ “ you wouldn’t like me. “

HEART OF STONE.

“ we’ve seen the city through the decades. “ “ love is patience, as they say. “ “ fortitude paves the way. “ “ so what if stone is bound to break? erosion, too, can be unmade. “ “ you make my heart of stone melt away. “ “ i go soft when you say my name. “ “ this kind of love stands through wind and rain. “ “ it’s in the magic that we keep. “ “ it’s in the quiet roar of the city. “ “ it’s in the things that you can’t see. “ “ it’s what it is, and what it could be. “

THE BALLAD OF THE UNSLEEPING CITY.

“ how’s everyone doing? it’s been a minute! “ “ god, the traffic was a nightmare! “ “ love a good, magical campfire. “ “ did you hear [name] made a song? “ “ [name] said they and [name] worked on it for awhile. “ “ sorry i’m a bit late, had to grab my guitar. “ “ glad you could make it! “ “ alright, [name] and i wrote a little song for everybody, so, we hope you like it. “ “ please, be careful around the fire. fire is dangerous and safety is important. “ “ our legacy lives on in another wave. “ “ yeah, fuck those assholes. “ “ boo, not my Faerie queen! “ “ she’s not even a good dancer. “ “ truth be told, no one could stand her. “ “ she tried to kill [name], and those around her. “ “ luckily, no one else will ever hear her. “ “ honestly? terrible taste in footwear, like my god. “ “ oh, [name], screw you! “ “ it was so easy to steal your shoes. “ “ you should’ve know that you would lose. “ “ all that’s left of you are the bad reviews. “ “ one out of ten! i want a refund! “ “ don’t you worry. “ “ yeah, i did not like that guy. “ “ he shoved that dream through an unlocked door. “ “ now that fucking vampire’s on the floor. “ “ oh, he fucked with [name]? fuck that guy! “ “ stay in the ground, you asshole! “ “ you nasty, little wall street prick . . . “ “ hearing you speak just makes me sick. “ “ you’re a fucking dick. “ “ his creation had nothing worth redeeming. “ “ you look like you iron your socks. “ “ this bastard looked to flip a switch. “ “ think you can stop the dreams? hon, that’s rich! “ “ take that protestant work ethic and shove it up your ass! “ “ just his name makes me gag. “ “ what did [name] even see in him? “ “ [name] dropped his hp down to zero! “ “ now all that’s left of [name] are his screams. “ “ toxic masculinity is dead, haven’t you heard? “ ” oh, [name]. fuck you. “ ” you could have chosen the side of life. “ ” all that’ll be remembered are your tattoos. “ “ do i have to do this one? “ “ ew, i hate it. “ “ that thing gave me the fucking creeps. “ “ uh, wait, who were we talking about again? “

SURVIVE IN THE CITY.

“ sometimes i catch myself staring at the pictures on the wall. “ “ i see where i got the wrinkle in my brow. “ “ i know i’m not the best person i can be. “ “ i’m learning i come from a legacy of people who were stronger than i could believe. “ “ my mom was once like me: just a kid tryna figure out how to survive. “ “ we’re all our own cities. “ “ the more things change, the more i recognize my face. “ “ i’m growing into something new in this old place. “ “ i’m decorating my home with memories and dreams of what could be. “ “ i’m not just waiting to watch the world pass me by. “ “ i’ll make them see our lives. “ “ my mom stares back at me from inside my mind, as stern and warm as ever. “ “ we’ll be fine. “

JUST A BOX.

“ it’s just a little family secret. “ “ go, avert your eyes. “ “ DON’T TOUCH THE BOX! “ “ now, my darling, don’t do that again. “ “ it’s nothing too nefarious. “ “ you do not open the box! you do not TOUCH the box! that is the one rule! “ “ oh, what did you bring me? “ “ is that a -- oh, god. is that a rat?! get that out of here! “ “ my mother told me and her mother before her, ‘we stay out where the windows shed light.’ “ “ do not go where you can leave my sight. “ “ what approaches you in the dead of night? “ “ does it tear at your thoughts or your memories? “ “ can i teach you to stand in the light? “ “ can i teach you a new way to strike? “ “ can i bring you back into this life? “ “ it’s just a box. “ “ it’s just a box? it’s not just a box! “ “ it’s coming near. it’s coming for you. “ “ i’ve slept in this hollow, this ‘masterpiece’ cage. “ “ my power is siphoned by you. “ “ let me grant you my power. “ “ i grant this to you. “ “ thank you for my freedom. thank you for this space. “ “ take my power and run! destroy the foes who come! “ “ what we can do must be done. “ “ if they can monetize dreams . . . god, what a nightmare. “ “ if we can pull at the seams, then we do it. “ “ don’t let them think we can be scared. “

SAFE.

“ my life is so great. what can i say? “ “ what do i say? “ “ there’s no reason to hate it. “ “ maybe i still have a claim to the life that i had known. “ “ i might still be worthy. “ “ for once, this isn’t fine. “ “ i’ll put in the work. “ “ don’t let it out. don’t let it escape. “ “ i’ll keep doing my part. “ “ which one is mine? how will i know? “ “ who am i? “ “ the answers feel wrong at the end of the day. “ “ i give all that i can. “ “ i’m not a piece of meat. “ “ they’re sitting at the table, and they’re all waiting to eat. “ “ i don’t think myself a sword guy. “ “ i don’t think of me at all. “ “ i give myself to others. “ “ what happens if i fall? “ “ i’ll just shut it off. “ “ it’s starting to take its toll. “ “ i don’t feel whole. “ “ wash your hands. “ “ look both ways before crossing the street. “ “ it’s the safe thing to do. “ “ don’t give out your personal information to strangers or salesmen. “ “ stand clear of all subway lines. “ “ you’ll be fine. “

SWORD GUY 2: THE SHRIEKQUEL

“ i imbued the power of the jersey devil within me, and that was that. “ “ it’s like my life’s turned upside down. “ “ there’s so many things to know about. “ “ there’s something you should know above all else. “ “ maybe self - respect is one’s own journey. “ “ some habits hold me, but i’ve got enough regret to haunt me. “ “ time has come to swallow my pride. “ “ wow, there’s so much history here! “ “ this is rad as hell! “ “ i’m learning so much, wow. “ “ people, like, really get into this shit . . . i could get into this shit! “ “ i think i’m doin’ alright. “ “ fuckin’ ran this poor woman down with my moped. “ “ i’m alive in the night, yeah baby! “ “ WHY ARE YOU ALL TARGETING ME SPECIFICALLY?! “ “ fuck, this felt like that time at the mall when i threw a fuckin’ big gulp at a bunch of assholes. “ “ thought i was out of the woods, slick as shit, then i got beat up in the parking lot. “ “ man, it’s like they’re two sides of the same coin. “ “ fuck, i’m down! “ “ fuckin’ lucifer beseeched me! “ “ it wasn’t like the last time, which was weird and fuckin’ creepy. “ “ now i’m an angelic nocturnal badass. “ “ [name] retains all rights to fuck shit up and go metal in their own way and do their own shit! “ “ GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY CITY, YOU FUCKIN’ PIECE OF SHIT! “ “ EAT A BIG GULP, BITCH! “

LITTLE THINGS.

“ i’m getting used to this new routine. “ “ it’s kinda lonely, you could say. “ “ suddenly, i’m back on track. “ “ it’s like i never turned my back on this. “ “ i feel it pulsing in my veins. “ “ isn’t this being alive? “ “ how i’ve missed your charms. “ “ i’m never too far away from the thrill of the stage. “ “ there’s nothing in my way keeping me from the fray. “ “ the sun rises every day. “ “ the light is carving out a way. “ “ it is right there, within reach . . . where i want to live and breathe. “ “ it’s in the little things. “

IRON HEART.

“ i can’t sleep, and i don’t want to even try. “ “ she went too deep. “ “ insomnia has awoken my eyes, but that’s no fuckin’ prize. “ “ if my one dream to see her again will never come true, then no one’s will. “ “ a dream’s just a dream until it’s not. “ “ keep applying the pressure to shut out the pain. “ “ i fucked up, and i don’t know how to move on. “ “ the stronger you are, the more muscle you go on the inside to carry those hurts. and, i’ve hurt for awhile. “ “ i feel like such a fucking loser. “ “ no use in letting it make me weak. “ “ shut the fuck up. “ “ what the fuck are you talking about, [name]? “ “ you let your wife die. what are you gonna do about it, [name]? “ “ the only thing that will make this better is if you go and end this shit. “ “ who the fuck do you think you are, [name]? all this . . . complaining about your bullshit iron heart? “ “ you know you could have done more. “ “ you are nothing. you are the scum of the earth! “ “ it doesn’t even fucking matter anymore. “ “ she makes you weak. “ “ you can’t save her. you don’t even know how. “ “ do it, you fucking coward. “ “ don’t fucking tell me what i can and can’t fucking do! “ “ nobody is gonna stand in my way! “ “ you’re all gonna fucking die! “ “ no one’s gonna stop me from doing what needs to be done! “

MAGIC IS.

“ she keeps talking about this box. “ “ why should i care? it’s just a freaking box some ancient relative found somewhere. “ “ language! “ “ i’ve got more important things to think of, like dancing renegade on tiktok! “ “ i’m feeling awkward ‘cause i’m growing. “ “ magic is fake. “ “ i look at these blankets, but feel no magic is there. “ “ she gave me a home and expects me to be like her. “ “ i don’t want to go! “ “ you gotta do a thing you don’t wanna do. that’s being an adult. bam. “ “ it’s, like, magic isn’t real! “ “ what if i were to tell you that there’s so much more out there? “ “ the world is full of magic. “ “ magic is real. you don’t have to care, but it’s all around you. “ “ it’s pretty damn cool. “ “ doesn’t that just rule? “ “ your magical power is starting to flower. “ “ we can’t wait to see it bloom! “ “ that magic’s not for me. “ “ i have no place in my family tree. “ “ i want to be like them, and stand by their side. “ “ i want something to hide. “ “ it’s something i can’t possess. “ “ i just have to stand there and feel so powerless. “ “ magic is real, just not for me. “ “ the world we live in operates in the strangest ways. “ “ we are safe. we have each other. “ “ you are safe. “ “ it’s part of our family that we can’t do without. “ “ i broke all the rules. “ “ our magic is . . . cool? “ “ it’s always been there. “ “ i’ve decided to care. “ “ we no longer regret our family secret. “ “ magic is cool. it was always cool. “

PHANTASMA.

“ something bright inside you gleams. “ “ they’re something you have seen. “ “ they’re memories of endings you could meet. “ “ they’re carried in you. “ “ faces past and worlds will shift. “ “ sometimes you can’t handle it. “ “ look around at those you know, and think about how far you could go. “ “ they’re something you can’t flee. “ “ screw those memories! just look at what you’ve done! “ “ raise your voice. let them in. “ “ stand your ground. don’t let the world spin. “ “ shout your name. make them learn. “ “ be the voice for the ones who can’t be heard. “ “ heed the journeys and mistakes that they have made. “ “ scream it out. “

NEW YORK MINUTE.

“ i see you through the gates of my holy prison. “ “ i’ve missed you, but i don’t know what i can do. “ “ i’m counting the seconds from the haven of heaven. “ “ i can’t see anymore. “ “ it kills the stars, everything we are. “ “ nothing stays anymore. “ “ the city screams, and my heart bleeds. “ “ fists don’t clash in the void. “ “ it is what it is. “ “ souls don’t feel in the void. “ “ our child should not have to grow up without their father. “ “ no heavenly audit will stop the future we could author. “ “ is there something i could doctor? “ “ through the endless void of nothing, we could walk on water. “ “ you’re just out of reach. i want to hold you close, my dear. “ “ you’re the one i need. “ “ i don’t care how long it takes ; the hope is worth the pain. “ “ chaos pulls at the seams. “ “ you’re in my reach. “ “ pages swim in my mind. “ “ ink pours out of my hands. “ “ you’re still fucking dead. “ “ you’re coming back with me. “ “ their ledger’s wrong. “ “ you were never gone. “ “ i’ll bring you home. “ “ it is what it could be, no other way to spin it! “ “ i won’t put a pin in it. “ “ in these words, letters, and pages, our dreams have no limit. “ “ i swear i’ll bring you back in just a new york minute! “ “ i wanna be there. how can i get there? “ “ i’m tryna find you. “ “ i will find you. “ “ i have found you! “ “ we’ll build our family among these metal towers. “ “ prayers take on a power to drop you to the pavement. “

ONCE UPON A DRAGON’S EGG.

“ what is - what are we doing? what happened? “ “ you’re gonna regret putting me in that fucking void. “ “ i know the strength of story - telling. known it all my life! “ “ let me spin a tale for you, hoping it’ll bring you strife. “ “ once upon a time, there was a man who dreamed of having a child . . . “

PROMISE.

“ when i was young, i thought i dreamed of things i’d do, of who i’d be. “ “ though some things changed, some stay true. “ “ i care more than anything. “ “ i see behind your perfect eyes a world that’s bigger and better than i could ever make. “ “ you’ll stay an image of magic divine and limitless potential. “ “ i’d go through anything and nothing if it meant that you were on the other side. “ “ i promise i’ll protect you, so that tomorrow you can guide us all. “ “ i begged and prayed some kind of tether would allow us to be a family. “ “ we made it true. “ “ if you ever feel alone, my dear, i’ll be here. “ “ i’ll teach you everything i know. “ “ it’s just that this place is your home, and it’s worth more than its weight in gold. “ “ i’ll be here through the end, not even time could stop me. “ “ things will change. no stopping that. “ “ no matter what, we’re still your mom and dad. “
