lyrics

This is an absolute negativity
A sudden, irrevocable plunge
Into an abyss without memory
Oh, your body is young
The incense of denial
The perfume of the body
Is what we fear what we are?
There are no squares in nature
So don’t create a corner
When the pain starts to burn
I feel it, a scarlet fever
Sitting between two fires
If Death is a sacrifice
Let’s take our own advice
Our desire to annihilate
It’s violent
Desire
It’s violent
