they tried to bury us

they didn't know we were seeds

destined to grow in ruins

of feeble aspirations

thriving in the darkness

feeding in the depths

die finsternis des menschen

was mich nicht umbringt macht mich schwärzer

we cut our teeth

earning our lacerations

fighting for the wavering contract

of a certain tomorrow

there is no time for sleeping

there is no hope in dreaming

we're lesser hues now

all turned to grey

the colours we turned away

haunt us with their absence
