about

Her own shadow is following her. It wants to kill her. It is the other part of her that wants out , wants to escape the terrible pain of loss through annihilation. The inner enemy is implacable. Suicide seems the only solution...

lyrics

The rain pushes against the window panes
the wind slaps your face around.
steps of darkness advance in the rain.
the wind guides them forward.
a pair of cat´s eyes blink in the night; leading the way
eyes sparkle like blue diamonds, reflecting the light
of the hiding moon.
There is no escape.
The steps follow faint. They always keep up.
There is no
running away-
There is nowhere to run.
And there´s no one to save you
no one will come to help
you´re walking alone in the rainy night.
you´re walking somewhere that´s not your home.
The shadows creep in
crowding your every breath
touching your skin
at every step.
And your heart is pumping. The sound of thumps
closes in
the fog advances, a wave of blankness
covers your feet.
In the eerie calm you stop. to wait. to see
the blade
descend
into your chest.
You can feel the air move
right behind
you.
you are going to stand witness to your own murder.
you are going to watch ripples of blood spill
from your own heart.
A drop of rain enters
inside your back
you see the spark of metal cut through the air
towards you.
A sting lacerates your flesh.
A scream rises into space. filling in the
cracks of
silence.
you fall unto your knees
your face hits the ground beneath.
The rain mixes with your blood.
you drink a teardrop sweetened by its warmth.
You surrender.
