True love will find you in the end
You'll find out just who was your friend
Don't be sad, I know you will
But don't give up until
True love will find you in the end
This is a promise with a catch
Only if you're looking can it find you
'Cause true love is searching too
But how can it recognize you
If you don't step out into the light, the light
Don't be sad I know you will
Don't give up until
True love will find you in the end

A Triumph (interlude)
01:14

The surreal moments
that u ache to publicize.
An automatic glint in the eye.
The state of being unaware of people nearby.
Sharing a meal from your plate.
A loving & shy gaze with a peek-a-boo smile
Examination of each others bodies.
Handwritten mementos to always treasure.
The introduction of fresh scenic routes.
A priceless innocence of stepping out
of your heavy, encrusted armor
to give your skin & heart
the decades long freedom of circulation & touch.
Be proud that you still have the ability to pine & to dream.
Your vulnerability only proves
that the demons of this world have not spoiled you.
The surreal moments are triumphant.

Cyber-Hook

U say u want me
as u look into the eyes of your iPhone screen.
Your cyber-hook ways...
i rest my case.
Phantoms of the Information Age.
Expendability in the apps.
Always another pixelated rush.
Always another photo filter crush.
U have me, but scroll for the next best match.
U have me, but troll for the sexiest catch.
U say u want me
as u look into the eyes of your iPhone screen.
Your cyber-hook ways...
i rest my case.
False allure of variety.
DM that sexuality.
Selfies will gain u followers & love.
Grindr, Tinder, Chatterbate, & Scruff.
U had me, but all u wanted was porn.
U lost me, don't want your lies no more.
i tried to make u really want me.
Never thought i'd have to face off with the phone.
i tried to make u really love me.
Being with you only made me feel alone.

i've always asked a lot from love,
but i've always given a lot to love.
Icicle leaves cloak my permafrost.
Out in the open, vulnerable at all costs.
Disappointments are but mere specks
compared to fathoms deep of historic loss.
i adore the frigid wind more than you'll ever know.
When i feel low, i joyfully dance in the snow.
Despite accomplishments
i'm still that fetus in the cigar box.
i shiver in tingles when these lessons help me grow.
i smile widely so that it will freeze.
i smile widely so that it will freeze.
i smile widely so that it will freeze.

i could've been myself all this time.
All of this time i could've been my damn self.
It's not your fault
that you're not reciprocating time or curiosity.
i just need someone to be there
to hear me & offer support.
i wouldn't put myself out there if i weren't desperate.
i could've been myself all this time.
All of this time i could've been my damn self.

i Chose the Light
04:10

Here's my story.
Here's my glory.
A girl in a twister;
a mother & a sister.
When i feel that i'm of no worth
i disconnect & anticipate hurt.
i look frail but i face the storm.
Gotta carry my shield & sword.
i chose the light.
In the darkness, down & out,
I got kids to raise, i gotta stand & fight.
i know my life
is so precious to behold.
i got a second chance, it's gonna be alright.
It never gets easy
when everybody sees me.
Tries to take away my dignity,
sabotage my recovery.
When i feel like throwing in the towel
i compare my then & now.
i can finally love so freely.
Friends & family are part of the healing.
i chose the light.
In the darkness, down & out,
I got kids to raise, i gotta stand & fight.
i know my life
is so precious to behold.
Erica, it's gonna be alright.

This year i initiated
& it resulted in falling in love.
It resulted in heartbreak.
It resulted in severed friendship.
It resulted in facing my shit.
It resulted in my world turned upside down over it.
It resulted in standing on the ledge.
It resulted in recovery.
It resulted in primal rage.
It resulted in standing in front of the mirror & forcing myself to see what i refused to see.
It resulted in developing a routine to replenish my fighting spirit.
It resulted in being more grateful.
It resulted in forcing my privacy.
It resulted in progress & lessons.
It resulted in progress & lessons.

Now that my cat is gone
i got nothing but the birds;
the City birds,
the hungry birds.
Now that my cat is gone
i got nothing but the birds;
the City birds,
the hungry birds,
the tiny birds,
the fluffy birds.
Let's sing...

September Smile (outro)
02:44
|

|
i'll never forget that September night.
i was down & out, looking down from the rooftop.
I'll never forget that September night
when i desperately tried to embrace something pleasant about myself
to keep from jumping
but all that rushed my mind was nothing good at all.
Everything i thought that i accomplished up until that point
were only distractions, i discovered.
Saving others by freely giving of yourself
can sometimes put you on the ledge.
A lonely smile outgoing & persistent.
i'll never forget that September night.
Don't rely & don't depend on extensions unattached to your soul.
Get acquainted with yourself.
Figure out who you are, it's not too late.
& when your episode subsides,
love yourself like u wish everyone would.
