'Growth' (2022)
"My scars remind me that I did indeed survive my deeper wounds. That in itself is an accomplishment. And they bring to mind something else too. They remind me that the damage life has inflicted on me has, in many places, left me stronger and more resilient. What hurt me in the past has actually made me better equipped to face the present." |
Drip, drip, drip,
How easily it slips from our lips, Crawling and creeping, Infecting the masses, As it slithers from ear to ear. But is there truth, In this contagion that rages, The poison that boils our blood, Or is this comfortable contamination, A parasite that feeds our need, To silence our doubts, Washing us clean, And consuming our crimes, Until, absolved, we walk free once more. |
'The Siren's Call' (2020)
“Enraptured by an aberration of beauty, I cannot move. I find myself helpless against a woman whose pale lips sing to me. Every note, every hymn that escapes those lips, I want to hear like a story being told... I want to listen to its crinkled page as it turns, but more so, I desired this creature before me." |
Laura Mary Carter
Guitarist & singer of Blood Red Shows |
'Laura Mary Carter, Red Room' (2020)
Stumbled across a photo of Laura Mary Carter from Blood Red Shoes, seems to be from a few years back, and was a Twin Peaks themed shoot. Great band, great show...what more could you want? |

'At the Beggar's Altar' (2020)
“If you reach out to your phone every few minutes, it isn't the urgency you are catering to but your need to be needed by others. You are seeking attention while battling loneliness” |
'The Thief of All Things' (2020)
“How did it get so late so soon? It's night before it's afternoon. December is here before it's June. My goodness how the time has flown. How did it get so late so soon?” |
'Our Masks Cut Deep' (2020)
“Are the accomplishments that people boast about real? Probably. But I’d rather hang out with real people, and real people don’t have to boast.” |
