about

I've been dreaming of a spectre named Luna, who whispers nothings my ear. This song is just a piece of what she's told me.

I have yet to know for sure, but is clarity of voice a blessing or a curse— if it isn't your own? Maybe my next dream has the answer.

lyrics

Have you heard
Of the curse of May third
My memory's a bit blurred
It must sound a bit absurd
But this story's bout a girl
Without a worry in the world
Born
On the Third day of the Fifth month
There's not much to say
She was blessed with health
Inherited some wealth
She thought highly of herself
She didn't do much
She used her status as a crutch
Lived life lavish and lush
Skipped class like double dutch
Never matured but aged
Unengaged
By the sidelines
Ended up center stage
In a haze
Because her dad died
Former daughter of a magnate
Let her fortune stagnate
Summer homes foreclosed
So she could-have more clothes on
Essentially a boutique mannequin
If the board knew the real
Price of her vice
They would be panicking
The loss was rapid
Her acumen vapid
Left her home dilapi
Dated
Whenever they negotiated
But she died too
As the deal went through
Alone
And early
Just turned thirty
Her bloodwork wasn't dirty
So this ending wouldn't be special but
One part is essential
Her mom died the same age
The same as her granny
Her soul tied to the deed
A consequence uncanny
The Contract had fine print
A soul realignment
A ragdoll confinement
Her chosen assignment
There was a latency
For her utter lack of agency
It ran in her family
Chipped at their sanity
A Hereditary Horror Story
Straight out of Amityville
She would have run for the hills
If she had known better
But it's unfortunate that The Curse wouldn't let her

Wait
I have to say something
But I don't know if I should
Um
There's a witch in my ear
Corrupting my memories
Stitching them together
Gently
Buzzing whispers in my mind
If you have heard this in kind
Maybe brace for the worst
Because you too just might be cursed
I may be wrong
But when I'm long gone
This song with remain
With a refrain
Said to no disdain
But curiosity
No attention
Targeted furiosity
Unvarnished carnage
Night's rest tarnished
By errant memories
I conflate with nightmares
When I'm alone at night
I feel the cold stares
And I do not dare ask
Who is watching me
With such intrigue
And mystique
The story may be bleak
And I a freak
But if you seek the meaning
to a sign you have like mine
Well
Maybe numerology will be the dividend of your neurology
Luna left me a calling card
She said the answer lies at
46-52 Raccoon Boulevard
