about

So, just like the newborn cicada coming out of its soft fresh covering, a process that seems to hurry but that takes a while to actualize before the human observer, I write about my own similar experiences in the New World and the immigrant struggles I went through over time at great cost to self and family.

lyrics

THE IMAGINAL STAGE
I cannot take this burning place, how I need to break through. Was never so dead with a desperate taste, driven to find you. I woke up in a world of glass, under clouds of sorrow. I kept my body in a simmering state. Can you trick my silence? Whoa, I can’t. I chant.

I cannot stand this bullying place, I really need to cut through. Was never so tough behind this face, I went looking behind you. So put me on the imaginal stage. And what do I know? I ride the crackling wings of fate. Can you feed my hunger? Whoa, I can’t. I chant.

I’ll walk it bare and decode my brain. Whoa—
