about

A tale of shattering the bonds of conditioned existence.

Apparently I was very committed to taking the red pill at the time of writing this. Still am.

lyrics

I went down to the woods to see if you were there
Looking for your eyes, a glimpse of your hair

Can’t let go the day, first time that we met
You looked inside of me, asked me “have you met yourself yet”

I’ll not forget your face, I’ll not forget your face

You made me face the mirror, you made me face my shame
You made me sing that endless song that doesn’t have a name

You brought me down to my knees, oh love, brought me down to my knees

I looked in to the pool, thought I was made of ice
I know the golden rule, that never will suffice

Shatter my illusions, shatter my illusions

I see it all around me crumbling ruins of my heart
Slain by my own love again, my world falls apart

I impale myself on your sword, Impale myself on your sword

Ten thousand daggers in my breast, I’ve felt this ache before
But for the bittersweet of truth I’d gladly ask for more

And death can’t keep you forever, death can’t keep you forever

More than once the reaper’s lips have called aloud my name
But the ravaged ruins of my soul keep growing back again, stronger, stronger

Like Blossoms in the spring, Oh Love, like blossoms in the spring
And death don’t mean a thing oh love, death don’t mean a thing
