  • In the Abyss

    In the Abyss, Ghosts are knocking, I’m just walking through that door.In the Abyss, Hearts keep beating underneath my creaking floor.In the Abyss, shadows are dancing, their whispers echo through my core.In the Abyss, silence beckons, as I surrender forevermore. Read more

  • Beyond Either/Or
