I wrote this one in bed with a 39°C fever, somewhere between delirium and enlightenment.It's part spiritual vision, part gastrointestinal revelation. Looking back, I'm not entirely sure whether I invented it... or merely witnessed it.

This is a compilation of song lyrics I write for fun! These are technically mostly drafts, so one day in the future, they will be polished and published songs with background music and an m/v and animatic with a lyric video and everything. Note: The songs were created at different times, and not in chronological order, or any particular order either Thanks again for taking the time to read the lyrics! Please remember to look out in the future for these songs! I hope they gave u feelings of hope aswell, or that u just felt something in general! Feel free to leave ur thoughts or messages! I appreciate all your support and love! Bye for now, see you again, till next time! Btw, u can imagine how each song is sung in ur head, but if u want to know what it sounds like to me, then u can hear me sing (warning: not a professional singer, never been professionally trained) the songs on my YouTube Channel: Elizabeth Koan

Koan on poetry.

Koan or a Zen Koan, are form of Chinese circular poetry with two subjects; in this case, infidelity and a web. Line one introduces the first subject; line 2, expands on it. Line 3, introduces the dependent subject and the 3 brings the turn, moral or twist that guides us back to the main subject, the head spy who resigns.
