SYNOPSIS:
In the deepest depths of self-hatred, guilt and shame, through a puddle of tears in psychotic break-down, arises a clear question: "What happened to the child I once was?" Despite melancholic, even morose tendencies, as a child life seemes simple - straightforward. There are needs and an aim to fulfill those needs. Simple needs. So what is this dusty, dragging burden with multilayered shards of conflicting emotions? How did everything turn so complex?
The tracks title "Karsastus" translates as "Squint".

LYRICS:
When the mind slants and grip slips, boundless rolls the beat. Where stood a mirror, now shines a thousand fangs and teeth.
Rivers of touch frozen, foaming gold. You reach only as far as the edge allows. The other side leaves a mark, churning ceases on the other.
Now the mouths of fingertips feed on walls. Back numbed by draught. And the horizon bursts into night, raven wings revealed.
Blackened lines, all across letters. Fills the holes once of faith, hope and care.
Once you yield and suddenly the light bends awkwardly, you'll never find the way home. Never home. Caught stuck in between.
