about

it's time i properly introduced myself. so here i am, and it's nice to meet you. :~)

lyrics

dragon year born, under the sun of the almighty fish
holding the moon of the ram, i wield the beast on my hip
aquarian air rose on the third month and eighth day
in the morn at mid four plus six, i entered the decade

nearly hung myself with my sustenance ribbon
lifted out of the water well without oxygen
so eager to live, tossed life’s lasso one too many times
nearly roped off my journey before i could climb

but i lived to tell the tale and here i am
silently fell and got up over again
crawled through life with unshared history
now i want the whole world to know me

born a bard with poetic pillars for bones
butterfly blonde with hazel doe scopes
bearing the name of peace and tranquility
the two things my head has always kept from me

spent too long in shadows, but here i am
only took two decades for my life to begin
been hiding in my head, awaiting safe release
i think i'm ready for the world to know me

i understand who i've been, and phases of my life
twenty two now, blooming into a butterfly
caterpillar child, never found the words to pin down
now that i have, and i feel them flowin' out

so it’s nice to meet you, and this is who i am
the chrysalis of cosmic change has burst open
finally found the melodies of my metamorphosis
now i hope the whole world will listen
