Verenä
Language: Finnish (Suomi)
Verenä valuvat ulos suonistani haaveet Suu täynnä leveää metallia istun ja odotan sinua takaisin Syljen heinää kulunutta vihreää Suolla syön jäätyneitä karpaloita kylmyys lyö hampaisiin ja minuun leviää punainen punainen punainen ikävä.

Blood when dreams ran out of my veins Mouth filled with wide metal I sit and wait you back I spit grass worn green By the bog I eat frozen cranberries cold hits my teeth and I am prisoned by the scarlet scarlet scarlet
