Survivor of The Strange

@LouisianaJames
the new Lizard King
no one left to blame
on the level
this is how it’s done
find your tribe
find your weird
enhance it
dedicate yourself
to something
what kind of trip
are you on tonight
places
dark
not about
to forget
places
light
a new day
a new design
survivor of the strange
long nights
tricking death
into being friends
letting my heart
beat another day
