no longer look the same?
Santa nothing but...

As My Body RotsAs I succumb to the wounds you've inflicted
gasping for air, for life,
eyes bloodshot, cheeks wet,
Will you love me then?
My cold, bloodied body will lay lifeless in your bed,
my crimson seeping into the sheets.

Another Midnight MassacreAll through wee hours of the morning
Laminga wail their missing persons, mourning
And the track road leading into Amurum forest
Stained with droplets of blood down the terraced

It kills me, it always sees,
Let me go?...

playground scarsLittle Girl swings in the air,
legs pumping, wind in hair
the closest to flight she’ll ever be.
freedom and fairytales whisper in her ears,

Sunset of RealityWhat is the feeling of being alone?
Alongside with guilt
Without anyone but a stone
With your name engraved on it
Death is like a torture
With no hesitation
There is uncertainty
If it's all just cessation
It's hard to return
Especially in...

All Turns Silent in the Meadows
It was the strangest thing I saw that day
A grassy grove and a man shouting mad
I didn't even know what to say
His face dragged down by his eye bags
His feet slept on the dirt, twigs...

CourageIt starts of quickly and subtle..
Ignoring the warning signs.
You've soon become a victim..
