come here
lose yourself
in our endless labyrinth
we have all those wonderful things
you can never say you want
and you say your will is strong
but your flesh is so, so weak
and that's okay with us
we are here for you
take
what they don't give you
be
what you have always wanted to be
we have
a sea of potions
an ocean of poisons
picks yours.
we are
the path of the lost
the shadow over those
who have been hurt by light
our corridors are just as dark
as your desires
so come and buy
what they told you it can't be sold
we'll hide your name
and bury your secret
for a good price
life is not fair
so why should be you?

the world is breaking
in every sunrise
in every sunset
the night screams
within its silence
the wounds, the pain
of a bunch of names
we will never hear
the darkness is covered
by the terror of faces
we will never see
we keep our eyes on the floor
and avoid the skull in the sky
one day it'll come for us
but today we don' want to see
its poisonous snake slither
within the stars
that haven’t died yet
we wake up
and what little sunshine is left
highligths the world's new cracks
bigger
deeper
maybe I'll fall next.
The television
shows glimpses
of a world falling appart
but they say nothing
they hide everything
we walk the paths we have always walked
until the ground shakes
until the bridges crumble
and we fall down
in the black holes no one explains
people die and go missing
and the air is mist
and the fog harbors the invisible monsters
that eat away
whatever warmth is left
in these frozen evenings
a bit of happiness today
a bit of soul tomorrow
and the cracks on the floor
are the mirror of our unseen wounds
we are bleeding
without knowing where
we are scared
we are blind
and the shadows seem to whisper
seem to know
but they can fool you
and maybe it is all just a trap
a gate to darkness
so we walk like we have always done
dragging our bones
with the will of the empty
of future corpses that roam
a restless battlefield
for there is an invisible war
that has listed us not as soldiers
but as piled names
in an anonymous cemetery

they breathe
and you tell yourself they are alive
sometimes you believe it
there is no monument for them
and no graves
their names are buried
in a hospital wing
they will never leave
you can't mourn them
because there is air in their lungs
and their eyes move
and stare at you
but you no longer wonder
if they can see you
flowers on mother's day sound nice
but you might as well
leave them in a tombstone
they will wither just as fast
you can't mourn them
but you cry for them
when your grandmother's eyes can't see you
and there is silence and absence
and the empty chairs at your birthday party
should be filled by them
they are alive
and you see them
you can touch them
and say they are real
say they are there
but not for you
time passes
the wound sinks deeper
and you expect less and less
but still something
a glimpse,
a lie
a trace of nothingness
you can deconstruct
codify
decode
and quietly
and shamed of yourself
think as a gesture of love
even though it isn't
resignation makes a way under your skin
it dims but never vanishes
you can move,
you can walk
you can even smile
but sometimes it gets big and heavy
laces up your legs
and makes you stumble and fall
so you won't ever forget it's there
and some nights you still wonder
what it must be like
saying 'mom' and 'dad'
and hearing 'yes, son?'
