MariaGrig. Hypertonic

19/04/2010

Electro/fusion from St-Petersburg

When I’m trying to forget
I’m crying from regret
When I’m going to escape
From my Hyper-hypertonic shape..

I’m trying to understand
Why my desire is to pretend
That I will never feel the same
And this is the one my hypertonic aim..

And releasing it’s just a dream
I’m becoming crying, become to scream.
My head involves me in awful world.
I can do nothing.
And I am cold..
