Self-Destroyed
As ghostly as a graveyard
In the murky depths of night,
His eyes are like extinguished fires,
Long gone the gift of light ...

On bad days I suffer alone.
When feeling half-dead,
I curl up in my bed
And I hide from the world on my own ...
In The End
I’ve reached the conclusion
That life’s an illusion
And death’s just the end of the show.
But one thing’s uncertain:
At the fall of the curtain,
What happens and where do we go? ...
