This is the final night, boys.

We are the cracks in diamond walls.

I tried to illuminate but the shadows kill.

I'm overshadowed.

See how I blend in with nothing?

Now beautiful boys, let's destroy.

We'll shine as the Lucite breaks and falls.

Raise the new glitter god with the golden tears- the tears that swallow.

A smile that's touched so warms nothing.

Yesterday I burnt the sky, looked to the ground and wrapped it around me.

Still today I have so much to burn.

Yesterday I longed to die, fell to the ground, and the ground caught me.

Now today I question why I fell.

Deities fell to decoys, tainting what's pure.

Let's cleanse them all.

Infinite life reclaimed, as the shadows kill they are overshadowed.

We'll burn as they fade into nothing.

Yesterday I burnt the sky, looked to the ground and wrapped it around me.

Still today I have so much to burn.

Yesterday I longed to die, fell to the ground, and the ground caught me.

Now today I question why I fell.

So what can help me to understand, somehow, why it always pains me to breath?

We're no longer confined because yesterday I burnt the sky.

Yesterday I burnt the sky, looked to the ground and wrapped it around me.

Still today I have so much to burn.

Yesterday I longed to die, fell to the ground, and the ground caught me.

Now today I question why I fell.
