about

Song born in March 2019, this one was the last piece written for this album. Some kind of coda for CD1.

lyrics

once I thought that dreams came true,
that happened thanks to you
I thought I have found
the piece of light
burning like the sun

but I was so wrong
the sun became the black hole
and it swallowed all joy

broken promises
broken dreams
broken friendships
broken peace

I started to loose my mind
then I went blind

there is a suicide
growing inside me
like a flower in the rain

and I see the light
through the wound in my chest
and I ask is that the sun?
as it shines so bright

you are my biggest failure
nothing can save us now
I was supposed to find the stars
yet all I found was dust

I am drinking blood from your crushed skull
and my past has fallen down
I struggle between reality and dreams
I can't escape the void

burn me now
all meaning is gone

and I ask myself:
what does it mean to survive?

The Truth Penetrates Your Mouth
by lugola

An assault on your senses, almost physical show of nihilism and hate, a channel for all negative thoughts and emotions without any interest in listener's comfort. The truth is something that hurts. Whalesong
