And this is how the world died

and this is how the world died

...i can hear you judging me.

[i'll hear your confession]

i found the best piece of me

[kneel down]

[place your face between my thighs]

eating it's heart

.. but you will not feast on me today.

this is how the world died.

[lose weight/clearly think]

i exist.

i am broken.

i exist.

i am broken.

.. if god is my father then i am an orphan.

i am broken.

i'm not a mistake

[my ancestry is a ghost story]

i'm a prophecy

[my love life is a crime scene]

i'm an omen

[my self-est
