    SOUNDTRACK: Enemy Mind by Priest, Sin So Sweet by Walter Zeiders, & Kiss Kill by Michelle

    December 13, 2025 / 1 Comment

    Soundtrack to The Morelli Family: Enticed By The Enemy by Leighton Greene

    Enemy Mind by Priest for a book about a broken faith in justice, an alliance between enemies, and a life on the line.

    I heard you calling to me softly
    Your bones were shaking in the wind
    Your face was glowing like a halo
    Concealing everything within
    Look at me my faith is shallow
    You make me want to back away
    And if I feel like this tomorrow
    I know we’ll never be the same

    Try to run from the enemy fire
    Take a breath and try to open my eyes

    Soundtrack to The Morelli Family: Seduced By A Sinner by Leighton Greene

    Sin So Sweet by Walter Zeiders for a book about innocence, religion, and desire.

    Hang up your wings, crawl into me
    Cover me up under your sheets
    Roll back your eyes, sink in your teeth
    Show me that side nobody sees
    I’m addicted to you, you’re addicted to me
    I’ve never tasted sin so sweet

    Soundtrack to The Morello Family: Kissed By A Killer by Leighton Greene

    Kiss/Kill by Michelle for a book about betrayal, murder, and forbidden desires.

    My need, by me, so close I could taste it
    I pick it up to let you fall
    I want you out, I want it all
    Salivate, anticipate, brace for some kind of heartache
    I know it’s foolish to pretend
    I wouldn’t do it in the end

    Kiss kill, kiss kill
    Won’t you tell me which will, which will
    Falling for you downhill, downhill
    Crave another kiss kill, kiss kill
    Kiss kill, kiss kill

    …

    Lean in, blown back, no feeling compares to that
    I brush it off to start again
    Knowin’ exactly how it ends
    Tempted, temptress, big dream made a big mess
    It hurts to covet how I can
    Pain and desire makе a man
    If I were less of what I am
    Wouldn’t bе dying to start again

    One Line Reviews Of Some Books I Read This Year (January – March 2022)

    March 29, 2022
  • quote,  Uncategorized
    December 13, 2025 / No Comments

    I heard you calling to me softly
    Your bones were shaking in the wind
    Your face was glowing like a halo
    Concealing everything within
    Look at me my faith is shallow
    You make me want to back away
    And if I feel like this tomorrow
    I know we’ll never be the same

    Try to run from the enemy fire
    Take a breath and try to open my eyes
    Gave my heart to the charity line
    Try to run from my enemy mind

    Will we always sit in the front row
    Or will we have to slip out the back door?
    It’s not a mystery that you’re such a rare find
    But is it up to me is it all mine?

    How can we give back what is always there?
    What is the right track do you even care?
    I count on history for the reasons I find
    I want to hear the voices in the back of your mind

    I heard you calling me a savior
    Your bones were shaking like the wind
    But you’re still walking in my shadow
    After everything I did
    Look at me my breath is shallow
    I want to turn and run away
    And if I feel like this tomorrow
    I know we’ll never be the same

    Try to run from the enemy fire
    Take a breath and try to open my eyes
    Gave my heart to the charity line…

    Will we always sit in the front row
    Or will we have to slip out the back door?
    It’s not a mystery that you’re such a rare find
    But is it up to me is it all mine?
    How can we give back what is always there?
    What is the right track do you even care?
    I count on history for the reasons I find
    I want to hear the voices in the back of your mind

    Nobody knows your body so
    We’re leavin’ details in my mind
    If holdin’ you’s wrong, don’t call me right
    Lock me out of Heaven for the night

    Hang up your wings, crawl into me
    Cover me up under your sheets
    Roll back your eyes, sink in your teeth
    Show me that side nobody sees
    I’m addicted to you, you’re addicted to me
    I’ve never tasted sin so sweet

    No Novocain, wanna feel everything
    I want the pleasure, don’t hold the pain
    Light this ice-cold soul on fire
    Whisper all your dark desires

    Hang up your wings, crawl into me
    Cover me up under your sheets
    Roll back your eyes, sink in your teeth
    Show mе that side that nobody sees

    I’m addicted to you, you’re addictеd to me
    I’ve never tasted sin so sweet
    I’m using you, you’re using me
    I’ve never tasted sin so sweet
    Hang up your wings, crawl into me
    Cover me up under your sheets
    Roll back your eyes, sink in your teeth
    Show me that side nobody sees
    I’m addicted to you, you’re addicted to me
    I’ve never tasted sin so sweet
    I’m using you, you’re using me
    I’ve never tasted sin so sweet

    My need, by me, so close I could taste it
    I pick it up to let you fall
    I want you out, I want it all
    Salivate, anticipate, brace for some kind of heartache
    I know it’s foolish to pretend
    I wouldn’t do it in the end
    Become a lover then a friend
    Add to a stunning collection

    Kiss kill, kiss kill
    Won’t you tell me which will, which will
    Falling for you downhill, downhill
    Crave another kiss kill, kiss kill
    Kiss kill, kiss kill
    Won’t you tell me which will, which will
    Falling for you downhill, downhill
    Crave another kiss kill, kiss kill
    Kiss kill
