My Tamberlane (feat. Respin)

Art by Caytlin Vilbrandt: My Patreon: Read Tamberlane: Get the track on Bandcamp (pay-what-you-want): Listen on Spotify: It’s ALIIIVE! It’s wonderful to be back! And with a bit of a treat. Respin and I haven’t collaborated on a song since “Become“ in 2015 (my goodness how the time flies) and I’m SO thrilled to be working with him again! This song is based on a webcomic by a dear friend of mine that I have had the privilege to be able to work on as of this year as a cowriter. The themes of found family and embracing your uniqueness resonate so much with me, especially having come out last year as nonbinary. I hope you all enjoy! There’s plenty more to come! LYRICS: Found you in a dark place My little ghost Bright eyes and a soft face As you approached I swore in the twilight I’d keep you safe Said I’d be your nightlight When you’re afraid I said You’re my Tamberlane We’re caught in a moment I can’t explain I said You’re my Tamberlane You won’t be abandoned, not again Not again They don’t understand you It can’t be helped I know how it feels to Want to blame yourself But love is a slow tide The waves will come Your smile is so bright You’ll guide us home Don’t you know You’re my Tamberlane They think we’re so different But we’re the same I know You’re my Tamberlane You won’t be abandoned, not again Not again We may not look alike But I can feel your heartbeat in your chest It’s just like mine We may not feel alike But I can feel the love that you possess It’s just like mine We may not seem alike But I can feel the hope that gives you rest It’s just like mine We may not sound alike But I can feel the life in every breath It’s just like mine That’s why You’re my Tamberlane My darling, whenever You’re lost in the rain Remember You’re my Tamberlane You won’t be abandoned, not again Not again
