Words of Acadiana

i mourned you for 40 years i've been absent for 2 and i've come back renewed i dance on your grave sword and shield in hand stronger wiser not guided by the wind like the sails of a ship anymore in control of my vessel i celebrate your ending that's when my torch got lit turned me into a man when i was a child and it confused me for so many years until i figured it out slayed the dragon that was my past not the direction i'm headed in anymore fate played its role brought me where i was to begin my journey without you never knowing that father figure i tried Filling Wholes holes in my heart in my soul the struggle seemed so real to me until i realized it was all in my mind time has erased any concrete memories of you you're just a ghost now and i'm suited up for battle but what i'm fighting for me is me now not fighting against anything i've healed i've been lifted up i bear your name

and i feel you like my flank has been slashed your sword sharp a hot pain i feel faint but i know i must make it out of this darkness this struggle this fight the fight we all have teetering over hell while reaching for heaven the angels and demons the thirst for something real it moves my feet carries my soul what started as a drunken haze has grown into something i want to surrender to your aura is red passion love you found the kink in my armor stabbed me when i wasn't looking at anything but your eyes didn't know any better and now i'm at a place where i could still walk away but i won't i can't give up on this the fight i've had in my heart my whole life it lead me to this moment and the angels slay their harps while the demons lap at my feet feels so good sounds like heaven i'm not sure which one to give into i only know i can't give up this is what i've been living for Love

the beat starts and the lights feel like home this place is my church working my demons out note by note movement by movement my hips sway my arms reach upward moved transcended this is redemptive for me this dancing the sweat falling away from me steamy visceral and i feel surrounded my love guarded my angels i'm gonna carry on i've slayed my demons buried my regrets jumped over bitterness i've found my escape found my cure music moves my bones like a matador seducing the bull it draws me in bleeds me writhing collapsing with a joy i can't describe baptized by my own perspiration i feel like a new man

when i wanna burn brighter you're always my lighter like Roman candles in the dark the night bleeding sparks i ride your heart past the moon grab a hand full of stars and smear them on my arm just to remember this moment forever stamped on my skin forever on my heart and you're my lighter my fire burns brighter astral bodies drip like wine drunk on a love divine so heavenly i could leave here don't need nothing but you us two me and you you move towards me quickly and slowly at the same time mine you blow my mind my heart bursting like a super nova new beginning what i've known no longer what i feel real a galaxy of love just for me a night full of stars shooting down all around me you finally found me i can breathe deep in relief
