#beyondthepale

                                 but the pale overcame me.

My world is grey-scale I've forgotten the colour of roses, The pre-teen blush when someone mentions a crush                    Mangoes I dye my hair an ash pink When I breathe in I choke Ashes. Choosing a nail colour, flicking through a grey paint-chart Charcoal. There was a time when everything was fire. Sunsets searing themselves into the velvet sky. Every picture I paint is another shape of forgetting. Clutching at the marbles of my child-hood as It all rolls away. Tumbling. "I like your pale skin, how it looks in the moonlight." Tar oozes from bloodied lips, there is nothing romantic here, Just another shade of grey beyond The pale.

And I believe there are still tickets to be had HERE, if you're keen.

More wonderful, lyrical moments from @hannahlainemusic! ❤️🏔 #Repost @hannahlainemusic with @make_repost ・・・ 🏔Lyric Wednesdays🥶 Day 7 of Lyricism is dedicated to @madisongeorgemusic for writing a beautiful song on the new @earthradi0 album "Reanimate." Link is in Earth Radio's bio! I wrote the lyrics to his song in reminiscence of our first retreat to Marquette in May 2019, when Madison, Justin, Dutcher and hiked up Hogback Mountain. It got me thinking about how life can feel like this uphill climb, never knowing when you are going to reach the top and finally "make it," whatever that means. Life can feel strenuous, and pressures from others and yourself can make your journey more challenging. But then there are these beautiful spots along the way that make you stop and take in the scenary, feel life in your body and celebrate how far you've come. Our desires to be somewhere or something of significance can take us away from who we are and where we are in this moment. Each moment contains a beautiful gift for us to behold. And even when you want to give up or turn back, there is something mysteriously familiar in our minds telling us to keep going. @justinavdekmusic and @dutchersnedeker helped with the lyrics in the chorus. These photos were taken by @chrisbotamusic on our trip back to Marquette this year. 💕 So thankful for my brothers, who inspire me support me, and push me to keep growing and creating. "Beyond The Pale" One foot In front of the other Slowly Getting closer Cool air Cloaks my temple Misty Aquious veil Seeing red beyond the pale Cooler heads will prevail Heartbeat Becoming quicker Heavy Feet grow thicker Wanting An elevator I can't save The rest for later Seeing red beyond the pale Cooler heads will prevail Way up here I can see the path that I've walked on Looking down Upon my molted skin Made anew Body is born again Feather fleshed, I ascend a raven. #hogbackmountain #beyondthepale #earthradio #reanimate #lyrics #lifelessons #thejourneyisthedestination #marquettemichigan #singersongwriter #lyricist #lyricwednesdays #nevergiveup #keepgoing #theaccidentals #ermsauceart (at Hogback Mountain) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGnncynj-ay/?igshid=1r80i2gzh3dc8

Help! I’ve reached the glow-in-the-dark vinyl stage of quarantine psychosis. #Jarvis #BeyondThePale (at Jersey City, New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/CD0OgnGjpwE/?igshid=uozbk5ij8kc0
