Standing In Lalmatia - I am Too a Player

Standing in Lalmatia – I am too a player – with all the eyes of the
Mothers of the girls turned much experienced

Judging the highs from the lows

All our brains afflicted with ideas turned into spiders
With our hands and feet clinging outside
They kick the balls playing a game in this massive field of Judgement

You don’t actually need the day of judgement to come by
It’s as if it has already come
With all your kin and your family drastically looking to save themselves

The thread from a flying kite slaughters my throat

Standing in front of an old building in Lalmatia
Quietly I’m learning the rules of a new game
