“Columnated Ruins Domino” by Alvie Kidders, South Highlands, K.L I’m here to put out a request; No more shadows lain Between us and the past. Please let no more shadows stand Between desires and acts. *ghostly moaning*

Of Kleisonia 03:29
“On the Isle of Kleisonia” by Dr. Rivaled Skied, Kaleidoscope Beach, K.L In time, every flower will eat itself, But I know of a fantastic place Where trials are gone, They cannot be anymore On the Isle (Of Kleisonia -ia -ia) Beggin’ for a smile from outer-space I fell under a shadow and it took my place Looking at you waking.  Beggin’ for a future, gotta make it mine But I know I’ve gotta get it out sometimes, Cause it lost eyes, a shadow forms. O! Who will live to say that what what is lost cannot remain? O! For a babe to take me home. Yo, its great to not go insane, As every flower must go away! Deep inside, where you’re lost on an island Where you will find true love. On the Isle!

“Brave the Waves” by Dasi Kielderv, Kaleidoscope City, K.L. Press your eyes in hard til you see the stars that you are. Getaway from it all; Its in the eyeballs. I can simulate the colour space of the gods And I can read your mind, and you’re wrong. I can simulate the colour space of the gods And I can read your mind, and you’re wrong. Hun, I’ve got the shakes, don’t look at me; I won’t look at you. Can we barter a give and take? Something to get me thru? In imagined light, writhing and fighting awful things, Addicted to your everything. I have the shakes; shaking with you. I have the shakes, are you shakin too? Press your eyes in hard til you see the stars that you are. If you can hide your face, you can get away. In the deep embrace of the buried face of another who just needs my everything But if you can hide your face, you can get away. So don’t look at me, and I won’t look at you.

The builders of the universe have broken me in two, But, his hand in mine, my other half knows exactly what to do.

“Hold Yr. Terror Close” by The Go! Team, Brighton, UK Dear, the future is only so near So why should we all be alone? Every night on the way home This time, we should be starting again. Get up and count up til Ten. Seeing you combing yr hair, Pretending that noone is there You’re right, It could be wonderful, But wait until tomorrow morning, Learning to be you in what hurts most, so close yr eyes and hold yr terror close Out here, I hear you come in loud and clear. You’ll carry the day thru the dark, But never too long thru the park, You’re right, stranger are easy to like. Thunder and lightning won’t strike Seeing the universe wend Seeing that everything ends Just please, give me the chance to say “no”. But wait until tomorrow morning, Learning to be you in what hurts most, so close yr eyes and hold yr terror close

Sister 05:21
“Sister” by T. J. Moore, Now York, N.Y. I went away to see an old friend of mine. His sister came over, she was out of her mind. Talkin’ bout how jesus had a twin, Who knows nothing about sin. And she was laughing like crazy At some trouble I’m in. Her light eyes went dancing, as she went insane. Her brother called her a bitch, What a thing to say. By now she kept on coming closer, sayin’ that she could see it in my bones; The schizophrenia had taken me home. The future is static, and its already happened. I could tuck you in, we could try to talk about it. But I had a dream, and it split the seams. Now I’ve got a hunch its comin’back again. Wooooooo

Cocaine 04:19
“Cocaine” by Erv Dalis Dike, Naples Swamp, K.L. You won’t try to pass me by, will ya babe? Youthful hands can’t get enough of this pain. A set of kicks against the floor to convey The tempo and try n’ keep me sane You’ve no mind to pass me by, I’m Cocaine. Youthful hands won’t get enough of this pain. They say theres something better than me But I cannot imagine that thing! Wa-hoo! You won’t try to pass me by, will ya babe? Youthful hands can’t get enough of this pain.

VIVACITY 06:23
“Vivacity” by Kelsi Varidevd, Kaleidoscope City, K.L. I was born for all to see, just call me electricity Twin shadows fucking really rough, use thoughts to get them off, As though their resplendent temple bodies aint enough, But if you don’t find the inner light, you’ll never get the outside right. Viva City: Animated and lively. The city terrifies, lest she should ever fear, But the truest evil coyly lives between yr ears. O! I was born from electric buzz on the outskirts of a dead metropolis! I began abruptly, awake, and shaking with screams, And crying out for the unconscious slime That I had just been forced to leave. But you know what you resist persists, Existence forces it to be. Viva City; Animated and lively. *ghostly moaning* Gone is the world you want and miss, And here is a shell that looks just like it did.

“We Are Shapes and Colours” by L. Skivea-Reidd, Organa Mountain, K.L. When I could study the waves of blood That like to slosh from side to side Of the cartoon cube in my head, as I wave “Goodbye.” As a cartoon teen, I always was a fan of it. But when I was at peace with the world, I was just shooting myself in the later foot. As a cartoon teen, I always was a fan of it. We are shapes, we are colours, We were meant for eachother Now I’m sprayin’ demons everytime that I sing, And I let a heavy duty person into my head Now I don’t own the time That I thought was mine. Yes I’m holding back something, Quivering in a shadows coat, Just really living as a brain I need something more. We are shapes, we are colours, We were meant for eachother We are shapes, we are colours, We were meant for eachother
