3+3.1

by SEIMS

supported by

Kira K'yuz~ CYAN - From pre-twilight dawn
MAGENTA - We see how sun rises
YELLOW\Orange - We see the sun, but in the end - our sun is drained.
IMPERFECT BLACK - like deep twilight, almost night.
ABSOLUTE BLACK - Its dark here. Really dark. But we have to fight the darkness to get into
TRANSLUCENCE - and have a little rest, and only then, we will find
CLARITY - its like agony. Knowing and truth - are never easy to deal with.

Its a journey.
Favorite track: Imperfect Black.

Our sun is drained, And light's escaped from here. We cannot find our way. Our sun has drained, And final days’ fading… We have no choice to face... Our demise; compromised. Trapped in their own null solace. Absent minds, wasting time. We’ll find another way out.
4.	Imperfect Black 03:51	lyrics
Under the dark pelt of night sky; Peel back the bark, cast it beside. Side of the road; ink drops below. Shedding colour. We're under way; fleet of foot end. Wade to the waist, where it's lightless. Beyond our breath. Beyond, we're lungless. Black, Into the black. We'll fall into that - Imperfect black.
