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
