DJing (synthpop and new wave!), dancing, hiking, creative caffeine combinations, keepin' the swank alive
The moment's leading me out of darkness
The anger cannot turn my joy to pain
I'm reaching out for now
Only to wonder
If old and new were simply just the sameVisualise, utilise
The dreams you hold inside
Visualise, utilise
The dreams we hold inside
