“We are not meant to spend the rest of our lives underground. We need to go home and tell a strange story that no one will believe.”

“What is love if not the gravity of souls?”

“Innocence has no place alongside immortality.”

“We are all dead, we just haven't figured it out yet.”

“There are no stars, no moon, only knots, only the promise of death. Drums cry out in the abyss and then fade with everything else. Even the shadows fade and all that is left is death. We are all dead, we just haven't figured it out yet.”
