1 Your pain will not outlive you by A rose in a withered land
So as long as you're here,/ As long as you breathe with the illusion of life,/ Wipe those wasteful tears,/ Stop the crimson rain that keeps on staining their knife./ You're drowning in a senseless pain/ That doesn't have the power to remain,/ It will never outlive you and you know that. *Gothic ballad*T, English, Hurt/Comfort & Angst, words: 316, 7/1/2021

A product of nothing but chance by A rose in a withered land

The sea that separates you from me by A rose in a withered land

Except, it doesn't by A rose in a withered land

Maybe I need all this anger and hatred by A rose in a withered land
So forgive me, darling./ Maybe I need all this anger and hatred if I'm to survive./ Love is my Achilles heel, I must bury it in the archives./ Maybe centuries later,/ When I'm gone and it gets better,/ Someone will dig it up from its grave./ And tales of my love will be saved. *Acoustic*T, English, Angst, words: 307, 6/14/2021
I no longer meet you in my dreams by A rose in a withered land

The key is not to dwell by A rose in a withered land
