The Man I Am
Sometimes I rip out my heart to watch it beat Because I no longer feel it's rhythm in me And when it's in my hand I go dance in the street To remember the feeling of ground under feet We're just bodies, we're just flesh and bone And my heart is the one in control … Continue reading The Man I Am

Smoking a cigarette on the street just outside of Amwell Green, under the light of the moon I gave in. It was official, no turning back.
