Envelope

This song. I want to wrap it around you. A shawl; Not a scarf around the neck, nor a hood for your tender ears. I want it to enclose you. Absorb you As it has me, already; I am in it.

Ad/Rot

would you like some air with your advertisements, everywhere a touch of air? with your daily dose of corporate greed? would you like a city with the taurpaulin palace housing you a shower! of paise in your chamber of dust? It's half off, a black friday sale! a hefty discount on idle worship you too can feel the blessing of giving! to someone other than large-scale thieves you see, your eternal kindness from the pits of your blessed, grumbling gut every day fills the needs of
