kill all my demons and my angels might die too
Sometimes words can’t express the feelings inside that quietly seep out. It feels like a loss, that the feelings simply evaporate into thin air, with nothing to mark them. Yet this time, another vessel has captured their essence, immortalised the impression in quiet beauty.
While the loud makes its way quick and far across landscape, it’s the quiet whisper that captures the heart, the heart’s roots soaking it in like a withered plant might the rain.
The quiet is the last voice left, long after the shouts died with no one to mourn their destructive chaos. And so, I waltz on, with no witness, my heart a music box, playing a quiet melody that only I can hear. I waltz, brushed again by the whisper that reminds Die Stimme der Vernunft ist leise.

LITTLE EARTHQUAKES Yellow bird flying · Gets shot in the wing Good year for hunter · And Christmas parties And I hate and I hate · And I hate and I hate Elevator music · The way we fight The way I’m left here silent |

| Oh these little earthquakes · Here we go again These little earthquakes · Doesn’t take much to rip us into pieces |

| We danced in graveyards · With vampires till dawn We laughed in the faces of kings · Never afraid to burn And I hate and I hate · And I hate and I hate Disintegration · Watching us wither Black winged roses that safely changed their color |

| Oh these little earthquakes · Here we go again These little earthquakes · Doesn’t take much to rip us into pieces |

| I can’t reach you · I can’t reach you Give me life · Give me pain Give me myself again |
