(Requiem)
My concave heart
Forevermore
My concave heart
Forevermore
My concave heart
Forevermore her tomb
As my flesh decayed
Then fell away
Her restless eyes didst nowise wellaway
Whichsoever way I bled
My longing veins upon She quenched
Forever kept
Thence wept myself awake
(Requiem)
The empty bed
Felt warm beside me
Whispering of rivers cried me
As before me
So behind me
All I saw was She
You can count on me no regrets to fear
It’s just you and I
(Requiem)
And when you disappear to the atmosphere
It’s just you and I
No mortal coil to spoil the vista
Human foil to boil and blister
Even whence the cold soil gripped her corpse
Her thoughts were free
Led beside to lie in ruin
Death reprised of my own doing
Crept inside my bones
Tattooing chromosomes
Thereby renewing overtones of She
Her highness
Siren of the Sea
And as I died
The high tide guided me
To where devoured the light from me
You can count on me no regrets to fear
It’s just you and I
(Requiem)
And when you disappear to the atmosphere
It’s just you and I
Each little death
We met anew
I bled divine to wed her true
Fragile as December dew
My restless eyes didst nowise wellaway
My concave heart
Forevermore
My concave heart
Forevermore
My concave heart
Forevermore her tomb
My heart bled red with fire
And crackled valiant and true
As I rode astride her chariot
Enamoured of the view
Angels and demons
Proclaimed their allegiance
Of no known impedance
So whole was our truth
The skies were black and blue
Their scars remarked of ashen hue
To height of fashion long impassioned to renew
My bones were fractured
Still the mascot flowers grew
And bid resume to the most animate of hyperactive bloom
(Requiem)
We danced in the flames
Advanced past bitter fates
Avant-garde dinner dates
Hearts unmasked
And ablaze
Deeper and deeper we fell beneath spell
Heavenly creatures undressed of our hells
Kissing death’s lips with the breaths we expelled
Swimming eclipse to replenish the well
You can count on me no regrets to fear
It’s just you and I
(Requiem)
And when you disappear to the atmosphere
It’s just you and I
My concave heart
Forevermore
My concave heart
Forevermore
My concave heart
Forevermore her tomb
(Forevermore her tomb)

Divine Heaven on earth, what a fusion my love, this is incredibly moving and emotional. I’ve downloaded it and will listen multiple times more as the night closes in ❤️
Love how this section took off:
“We danced in the flames
Advanced past bitter fates
Avant-garde dinner dates
Hearts unmasked…”
Thank you so much for your kindness doing this particular fusion 🐭💎🦁
My darling heart, you really couldn’t be more welcome ❤️
I feel blessed that you introduced me to Sushi in his ultimate form and I’m thrilled that I could honour his art this way.
I chose to sing his chorus as I feel it lends weight to my own prose and the two appeared to complement one another rather well. His version is unique and I like to think mine makes a rather tasteful companion piece.
I adore breathing fresh life into songs you love as you know 🐭💎🦁
Your emotional delivery fused with Sebastian Beisler is stunning and had me listening to both tracks on auto repeat much of last night. They’re both incredible.
You singing the chorus was perfect and I love that a couple of his key moments are layered with your rich vocal tone.
I’m forever grateful for the breaths of life into songs that are certainly not your general preference but it works two ways and it’s a beautiful exchange as music is my drug 🐭👑🦁
