In that isolated world, eons away from what we once called society, I dream of you. I encounter you in my lysergic hallucinations glowing in pink and golden: this galaxy plays with our fears and desires, and pulls the trigger that ignites our souls.

I might get loose of these chains, or I might keep on following your steps inside the dark maze of my mind.
