I sprinkle flower petals on a grave,

Red, white, and black

The colors of my soul

which has long faded away

Yes, I'm guilty

I've murdered my only friends

I'm the one who brought them here

So why was I the one to beat them away?

With each swing, my soul

Went with them

Swirling away into nothing

Now I'm nothing too

Their grave is but the abyss

Of my mind

The mind which I lost

With my soul

red, white and black

On their burial, my mind, the abyss

I spread the flower petals, my soul

on the grave of those I've killed

My only friends

Rest In Peace

My Fantasies

and my dreams...
