Enter the creepy world of Insanity. Shadowy humour and spiders lurk in the pits of the songs psyche. It's dark, it's funny, it's BRUTAL.

lyrics

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

about

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

Child

If not my money problem I would have bought the CD version. The moment i heared "Child" it was clear to me, that I need more. My fav is "Not enough", because it takes a different approach on beeing alone. pikolowet

The renditions of these songs are so beautiful and raw. While I love the originals, these stripped down versions show so much feeling from Laura and it just pierces your soul. Love love love. Thanks! supashoppa
