"Desire to Die is a hymn for everyone who has had to endure unimaginable struggles, disappointments, and failures. At times, our lives feel like a vast ocean in which we fight just to stay afloat. The urge to stop resisting and simply go with the flow can become so strong that we might come to terms with the risk of drowning, a feeling rarely spoken about in our society. Desire to Die aims to break the silence and raise awareness of the fact that, for some, drowning can sometimes feel more acceptable than facing wave after wave after wave. We see it as a starting point from which we can begin to destigmatise this topic, in the hope that speaking about it will help us heal and overcome dark times together." - Maria (guitar)

Lyrics:
I tried to stay open
Tried to stay focused
But fighting the current erased all that I am
I tried to keep breathing
But the water kept freezing
I'm floating in an ocean of debris
Floating in an ocean of debris

So spread your wings and learn to fly
Forget about tomorrow
Escape the fate and let go
Drowning deep into the flow
No matter where it leads you
We're talking the desire to die
The plans that you've worked for
People you cared for die
The dreams that you've worked for
People you cared for

The plans that you've worked for
The people you care for
Everything you knew slipped through your fingertips
Your throne has been stolen
Your kingdom has fallen
They left you with a broken memory
Left you with a broken memory

So spread your wings and learn to fly
Forget about tomorrow
Escape the fate and let go
Drowning deep into the flow
No matter where it leads you
We're talking the desire to die
The plans that you've worked for
People you cared for die
The dreams that you've worked for
Nightmares that left you

Choking
Your back was broken
All words have been spoken
The truth has awoken
You're lost in the open
Drifting in an endless motion
In the hope to live to see another day
I tried to gather my bones before it's too late

So spread your wings and learn to fly
Forget about tomorrow
Escape the fate and let go
Drowning deep into the flow
No matter where it leads you
We're talking the desire to die
The plans that you've worked for
People you cared for die
The dreams that you've worked for
People you cared for
