20 years of Motionless In White - Decades drops July 17th. Huge thank you to everyone who had a hand in this album/photoshoot! It was a perfect storm of artists all coming together and being absolute legends at their craft to create one vision. THANK YOU. Photo by @jonathan.weiner @lawrence_nbfx did a fabulous job on my sfx look for this. @eknmakeup for the “leftover” makeup, haha.

Back at it again. Two more weeks with BMTH coming up 🫡 Photos by @danvirchow

The first letter I ever wrote to you was torn from blank pages out of my favorite books, like I was writing my own love story. Thing was, I never had to because the story sort of wrote itself. You came into my life a year ago and changed everything. In that short time, you’ve helped me be a better person, taught me what it truly means to live and love. This year is so special because it marks the beginning of us: two lives entangling, growing together and becoming a single unit. One that can take on the whole world together. It’s been a year, yes, but this single year makes me so excited for what comes next, and all the years we have left to share. It’s been the most loving, soul enriching time of my life and I’m so thankful to have you by my side. I’m so thankful that it’s YOU. In my letter I wrote about always closing my eyes and remembering us on the back of your tailgate. Sitting somewhere out in the middle of the desert, That’s still where I am, Alex. That’s where I’ll always be. Looking up at those shimmering stars over the mountain, not even having to wish on any of them because everything in the world that I want is right next to me, staring me back with those big beautiful eyes. So, instead, I pull you close. And that promise I made at the beginning of this, to never let you go, I still mean it with my whole entire heart. Happy 1 year anniversary, @itsalexlemay 🖤 Here’s to all the rest to come. I love you 🥀

Biggest UK/EU tour to date - Thanks for coming, everyone, and being a part of a such a monumental milestone in our career. See you all next time 🥀 Photos by @danvirchow

I never knew what people meant when they said, “When you know you know,” until I met you. That first time I saw you, it was like my whole body lit up inside, like I’d been looking for you all along without ever even realizing. Like every other timeline suddenly collapsed into this one where it’s just you and me, because that was always the way it was supposed to be. Nearly a year later I still can’t explain the amount of love I have for you. There’s just no word greater than love that exists for it. But it’s there between us every time I look into your eyes: The excitement, the love, the joy, the hopes, the dreams. All of it reflected right back, making my heart ache with happiness. I am so lucky to know and love you, Alex. Every night that I get to fall asleep with my arms wrapped around you, and every morning I’m able to wake up to you snuggled into me. Every laugh we share. Every kiss. I feel so incredibly grateful to love and be loved by you. You are a star burning so bright that it lights up the world, and everything is dull and grey without you in it. You are my person, my happy place, my best friend, and my favorite human in the entire universe. You are braver, stronger and more beautiful than you will ever understand. And as long as I exist in this world, there will always be someone who loves every single version of you there is. I’m not there with you today, but my heart will be. Because it only exists wherever you are. Me, I’m over here still daydreaming about us laying in the back of your truck bed, counting stars spilled across the darkness overhead. Both of us looking for aliens, ufos, the sky deepening into purples. Our hands meeting under the blankets, feeling the world melt away. Two souls bleeding into one. And when I look into your eyes, it’s just you and me there, floating through the darkness together. We drift off into obscurity, melt into the void, and the thing I know for certain is that it will always be the two of us: Riding the waves of cosmic flux to find our way back to one another, the same way we have in this life, and every life that came before. I love you, @itsalexlemay Love, Your forever valentine 🖤

The only gift that matters is you @itsalexlemay 🎄🖤

MIW 2025 is officially a wrap. A lot of very special moments this year, on stage and off. Thank you to everyone who came out to a show and sang along. See you all next year, 2026 is going to be a big one 🖤

I’ve crossed oceans of time to find you🩸

Sometimes a tour comes along that feels so special it’s hard to ignore. To be able to play to sold out crowds night after night on such a large scale is something I can’t begin to describe. All I can say is thank you. To Bring Me The Horizon for having us, to the MIW crew for running this ship like a well-oiled machine, and to all of you, the fans, for making it possible: Thank you ♥️ See you on leg 2.

These last few months have felt like a dream. I keep expecting to wake up, this whole life dissolving in front of me. Bringing me back to reality. But each morning when I wake you’re there again, like you were always supposed to be. Like this was always supposed to happen. I don’t know what I did to deserve something so incredibly pure with such a beautiful soul, but I’ll be forever grateful for getting to experience this with you. When we met, it was like two puzzle pieces snapping together. Every groove and curve perfectly in sync, like cut from the same board. Except the only two pieces are us. You are my person, my rock. And I feel so incredibly lucky to have found you. Each time I leave I tell myself there will be less tears, less heartache. But the truth is, it only gets harder. I can’t even walk through the airport without choking back tears like my life depends on it. But I’ll be back, quicker than I realize. It’s not goodbye. It never is. In this lifetime, and every other, it’s always been “see you soon”. That feeling bubbling under the surface, it’ll be there, whispering your name. Radiating from my chest like an ache that only you can alleviate. Until then, I’ll dream of us walking through the park. You looking over and smiling about the sun passing behind the clouds, the warmth still kissing our cheeks. I’ll reach over, grab your hand, squeeze it hard. You’ll squeeze back, like a promise shared between us. And we’ll nod toward the horizon, run down the hill together. The wind pulling tears from our eyes, laughter from our lungs. Our two hearts racing in sync, finally beating as one. I love you, @itsalexlemay 🖤

That’s a wrap! Thanks for a great summer tour, Europe. Until next time 🥀
