Blaming global infection for the illness in him Little knowledge of the non-affection between him and his kin Old, grey, bitter, anxious and collapsed Like a wallflower once blooming Withered to apparent death Blaming the guilt Crying the tears Torture the pain Leaving the emptiness behind Apparently he had no reason To harbour the trust He'd forsaken inside Apparently he left his reasons Forsaken the trust that harboured within Walk, I cannot walk For I am blind, blinded I am By the pitch of dark, so dark is it The narrow street, never ending narrow Clogs my throat Silently I try, Try to walk, blinded by the pitch The narrow darkness, clogs the street I am speechless I am speechless Fear puts a rush on my steps As I stare into the spinning depth The end is not near the sight that I am hoping for And all the light that paves the way for me Is the wish and will for the end to see The bright light is the end of the black light district

Debris 04:35
Darling, baby Don't say maybe Disobey me, I'll be Like a bad penny I twist the truth I love your youth You're losing grip Take a trip, you, You're going down Going down You're going down Like fallen angel I will mesmerise You will paralyse Framed in your game Slowly fading No one knowing We are through Count your blessing Count to eighteen Souls to perish For a few stolen dream only As we've walked down the ally On the misty afternoon No one looked back nor forward The city walls felt distant Never at our reach We're sentenced to your world You're going down You're going down You're going down With me You're going down with me I will mesmerise You will paralyse Like fallen angel

Strange vibe circles round Tries to comfort buzzing sounds Form an arrow point at us We the target are the one Place your bet on the best The fastest horse you can find Drop yourself in the grass Breathe the air at last Hold on tight don’t fall down Breathe the air trough the water Form an arrow point at us We the target are the center Find the key lock the door Close your eyes for encore Drop yourself in the grass Breathe the air at last Hold on tight don’t you fall down Breathe the air trough the water Find your peace turn inside You the target you the center Find the key lock the door Close your eyes for encore Drop yourself in the grass Breathe the air at last Hold on tight don’t you fall down Breathe the air trough the water
