The escape

Rasmus Berggren 2002 (Linkoping)



What does it matter ?
What does it matter if a man is in pain ?
If he stands by the abys, ready to jump
It doesn't matter if the abyss swallows him, disintegrates him and rip him from existence
One less person on earth.
One less soul in desperate  search of something.
In search of anything to fill the void
Be happy for the man who killed the  void
Be happy for the man who escaped hell.
