lyrics

I wish I could be full of energy
so happy with life
I wish I
I wish I could see
Everything
Magically
The way it's supposed be instead
Of how it translates in my head
For just one second
I wish things would make sense

I wish I could see
See what I'm supposed to be
An asset to society
I wish I could see
see what I'm supposed to be
Would you enlighten me?

I wish I could see everything's going to be okay
Everyone will get employed
So our lives again can be enjoyed
I wish that we could kill all of our enemies
All of our troops deployed
So the world won't be destroyed
Yes we should let them drop the bombs
i've learned to love the bombs,
we all should love the bombs

they broadcasted it live
they dropped and made such pretty lights

I hope the children see
What they need to be
And help this society
I hope that we can kill
Until we find peace
In the name of the free

(I want to be like everyone)

halloween
by grieving club

Great songs with melodies that get stuck in your head. Much emo vibes. Bloth Arkheim

Nice Set
by LocalNewsLegend

Music stripped down to its bare essentials, songwriting that doesn't need anything to hide behind. Songs that can make your heart wrench or warm your heart, sometimes in the same song. Much feels, Bloth Arkheim
go to album
The Berserk Demo
by Roaming Bear

Really like the arrangements on this and the almost wobbly feeling of the whole album. Intended to be "demos" I don't think Bear will ever "finish" these songs and he doesn't need to. Bloth Arkheim
