I don’t wanna let the light shine on my face, while I try to build a home inside a darkened space.
if you can’t stop the bleeding then it’s far too late. give my heart to the enemy and walk away.
was I weak or was I wrong? did I fake it far too long? I was building up a shell, I had to break down my old hell.
A retreat within my mind, I was lost. I found nothing, and I found no one. it was a self-made habitat, where the parasite of desperation found a way to cultivate inside.
fighting away desire for love. temptations of pleasure, eventual pain.
playing the game, and living a lie. drowning in silence, and hiding in shame.

Thank Goddess for this wondrous album, which I should have picked up aeons ago. The otherworldly atmosphere this trio weaves is utterly intoxicating and wholly (holy) their own.
Sincerest thanks for putting this and Feminazgul’s other albums in the feed today @Sælzer Bub; your timing was impeccable! MJ
