Balancing Shadow & Light

Forever seeking clarity

I find my boots

Balancing these rails

I have walked 

Them endlessly 

Baptizing them 

With my tears

My heart swells

Have bruised 

My chest and

My mind is never

Completely at rest

My failures 

Are like monsters

That hover 

In the shadows

Waiting to find

The moment 

Of weakness

They have been 

Impatiently 

Waiting for...

Hold Fast


Baptize me in all that’s holy

Watch it roll away form me

Seeking light is for the worthy

And I doubt myself daily


Chorus: 

Neon lights

Hold on tight

Let me drive

Through the night

Lose control 

Make me while

Surrender 

Leave it all behind 


Hide behind your smile

Sacrifice what you believe 

I know underneath 

You’re just as lost as me


Chorus: 

Neon lights

Hold on tight

Let me drive

Through the night

Lose control 

Make me while

Surrender 

Leave it all behind 


Lose mask before 

They create another

Society is to blame

Hold Fast 

To one another 

Before it all fades away


~Amber Comber (Trash Room Lyrics)



Diving Dreams


I walk through this wounded world

And carry home the things I can’t unsee

A weight that can get so heavy

I feverishly find ways to break free

Exhaustingly illuminating 

My dark side of mind

Searching for a balance 

That’s always hard to find

The past weaves 

Into the future 

So fast   

That I forget

To breathe 

In the present

I am learning 

To fill my lungs 

With enough air

To become weightless 

And dive below 

This wreckage...

Surrender


Look at that one leaf

Afraid to surrender

Holding on

To the only thing

It knows

Sometimes 

You have to let go 

Swan dive into 

The possibility 

That there is more 

Magic 

Than you can 

Imagine 

So much

Beauty to see

An unconditional 

Amount of

Love 

To give and receive 

And you are worthy 

Of it all

All you have to do

Is trust the fall.
