A journey on a a broken piece of glass On my own in a town that has no soul Learned how, to breathe alone Learned to march up straight Avert my eyes no more Learned to face the demons in my soul You can’t show no fear to survive out here Learned to use my voice and sing up loud enough Maybe loud enough for you to hear me I know you thought I disappeared Tell the world I’m still alive I found a way, yeah I survived Tell the world I’m not afraid For I’ve seen yesterday and I survived Oh you thought I ran away from my failures from yesterday That I would crawl back home and confess my weaknesses for you I bet you’re safe back home where I left you Still observing the life you’re serving But I aint slaving no more I won this inside war Tell the world I’m still alive I found a way, yeah I survived Tell the world I’m not afraid For I’ve seen yesterday and I survived Tell the world I’m still alive I found a way, yeah I survived Like a soldier I resolve I found a way on my own Tell the world that I survived Tell the world I’m still alive There’s a burning on my skin I’m on fire from within Tell the world I’m still alive I found a way, yeah I survived Tell the world I’m not afraid For I’ve seen yesterday and I survived Tell the world I’m still alive I found a way, yeah I survived Like a soldier I resolve I found a way on my own

Insanity 03:54
There was a night of pouring rain I lost it all, I went insane I felt the blood freeze in my veins I went to sleep but think i drowned And woke up down here underground Well it’s not real so I can’t be found I live here now, with my mind and me oh we’re such a master team haunting for my daily meal Like a spider catch fly I’ll taste your blood than spit you out You think I’m crazy? Well I think you’re right I can’t decide what’s real or what I’ve just read I think I made you up inside my head That’s what I do Create characters like you Then I tear them apart Rip out theirs hearts, and feed them to the sharks You think it’s unreal? But don’t forget it real in my head Baby you’re going down, down, down I eat boys like you all the time And haven’t you heard, heard, heard Once you’re in my creepy world You’re playing by my rules You don’t learn stuff like this in school I see humans as just tools You’ll never be same I‘ll mess you up in every way Oh my life is just a game and baby you’re going down The day you knocked upon my door I let you in, I planned my sin I’ve got those words carved on my skin I’m an actress baby, good like hell can dress like them and kiss as well I’ve got a bunch dudes locked in my cell Reality’s just not for me people with all their royalties Who said escapism is a disease? Ah just let me live my way Life is just a game I play and sanity’s the price I pay Pre-chorus Chorus

It was a sunday morning I called and said we have to talk I felt his hands getting cold as we walked in the dark I said, I cant live this unfree too many things I want to be I need to go after my dream I’m sorry, I think I have to leave I saw it in his eyes when something inside dies I can’t be trusted, I always leave Don’t ever fall for a girl like me I should have told you from the start My story’s doomed to turn out wrong You stole my power to stay strong and then I left you with half of me And now we’re living miles apart I’ve got something heavy growing in my heart I left you to be free, but you were the bets part of me I left the best part of me I’ve been re-living every conversation at least a million times Playing like a film on repeat every sleepless night And there are memories of you, in everything I do and everyone I meet, I just compare with you I can’t be trusted, I always leave Don’t ever fall for a girl like me I should have told you from the start My story’s doomed to turn out wrong You stole my power to stay strong and then I left you with half of me And now we’re living miles apart I’ve got something heavy growing in my heart I left you to be free, but you were the bets part of me I left the best part of me I saw it in his eyes when something inside dies My story’s doomed to turn out wrong You stole my power to stay strong and then I left you with half of me And now we’re living miles apart I’ve got something heavy growing in my heart I left you to be free, but you were the bets part of me I left the best part of me

Hypnic Jerk 02:26
Lyrics: The day is finally over and you come alive I’m slowly opening my window let you come inside In the dark, all my fears they all disappear It’s a hoax my love I’ve seen it all before You hear him whisper like a distant call and then he tells you that he miss you, makes you feel so small In the dark with the stars it all seems so close In your head it’s real he’s getting near and Softly, you lay your head beside me Say you feel my heart beat I’m too numb to feel you I’m to numb to see you Tell me are you see-through? This ghost you’re turning into I shut my eyes, and you’re no longer here And when the sun is slowly rising it all hits me hard Like a knife in my chest ripping out my hard Reality is out there tearing lives apart I’m living here alone with just a memory of you I’m acting normal saying hi each day One feet and then the other, hide your ghost away Then they say the day is over and you come alive In my head it’s real, you’re getting near Softly, you lay your head beside me Say you feel my heart beat I’m too numb to feel you I’m to numb to see you Tell me are you see-through? This ghost you’re turning into I shut my eyes, and you’re no longer here

I have lead the devil’s sin. With a blind before my eyes. I have bloodstains on my skin. Got buried in his lies. Felt his teeth upon my thighs. My mind in his grip and through my lips the devil’s words I let slip and then your breath and soul like a thief I stole Oh God I’m losing control He screw my head around Then I shot you down I no longer know what’s wrong or right If you only knew every move I do Is the devil’s fist thrown to hurt you You are a the stake In a dead heart’s game I am the way your heart will break There’s evil in in me I lead the devil’s sin I don’t want you to be the one who’s left all alone I’ll make you the one to go He said he’ll help me scare you away but after every attack he leaves me whispering please stay My mind in his grip and through my lips The devil’s words I let slip And then your breath and soul like a thief I stole Oh God I’m losing control He screw my head around Then I shot you down I no longer know what’s wrong or right If I only knew every move I do Is the devil’s fist thrown to hurt you You are the stake in a dead heart’s game I am the way your heart will break There’s evil in in me I lead the devil’s sin I wear him on my skin I am how your heart breaks This is a dead heart’s game

about

The deluxe-box of This Is How Ghosts Are Made is a collection of pieces of me. It's including the full EP "This Is How Ghosts Are Made" + the exclusive bonus EP "Songs of an Insomniac".

The Songs of an Insomniac EP are songs that I recorded during nights of too many thought, while the world was asleep. The songs are written and recorded the same night in my bedroom.

The Glass Child Sweden

Im an organized mess.I believe in the future,for Ive seen yesterday and Im still alive.When I was 18 I left everything I knew and moved all on my own to London to create the life I wanted to live & find the person I wanted to be. I learned how to build my home in my music and my words. When I sing or write, I'm not scared anymore. I believe in writing your own story,and that's what Im doing here. ... more
