Dude Man19
Trapped.
Trapped here.
Trapped in an Elsewhere, Forever away.
I know this Place.
This Eternity in an Eggshell.
Wrinkled Matter hides Infinity in its folds.
And the Red had wrapped itself through my frame
and Taken myself from Me.
But I think I know the Way.
The Way out of this Place Inside
And back Out, into another Place,
The one I had been in Before.
The Way is Calling to Me.
The Way is Guarded by the demons of the Red.
And I know not what He has done in My absence.
But I know there is Nothing He has done
That cannot be Undone.
And so I Follow the Call,
Living out Its only Hope,
As I hurtle ever closer,
High Above a Grey Green Sea.

Can't effing WAIT for Uzumaki!!! Finally Junji Ito is getting the love he deserves!

@Sidiax nah, that’s the wrong one. You’re thinking of Among the Sef, which is like the cooler version of this song.
Sidiax
Nevermind, the Uzumaki trailer is where I heard it.
