Embracing Emptiness: The Haunting's Resonant Message
Lyrics
You tell me you're the sun
You claim to be a source of brightness and positivity.
And I'll go blind
If I accept your claim, it will have a detrimental effect on me.
O, my vacant head

Because I alone, you avoid

I think I'm over you!

It's so fucked up and overdue

You'll pray

But she'll say
