The Doll who was hanging on the wall
Pulled up her dress and
When her eyes turned down to her belly
She saw her naked sex
And drops of blood kept falling on the floor
She shook the heart in her right hand
Everything was turning grey
Save the drops of blood on the floor
The rabbitt licked her blood on the floor
But she longed for someone
To remove the veil hiding her face
And kiss the wounds
Hidden by her socks
Someone to write poems over her scars
So tired of pleasures and trivial things
Trapped in this room where nothing ever satisfies
Where nothing is enough
Through the keyhole she could see
The way the wind was spinning the leaves outside
This never ending desire
Out of this room
At the edge of time
That insane dance
At the edge of reality
The scissors on the rabbitt's hands
As the dolls' blood fall on the floor
Maybe it was an artery
But she's only a doll with authentic eyes
Her heart has saved him
Saved him from a beating inside a reverie
Through the keyhole she could see
The way the wind was spinning the leaves outside
This never ending desire
Out of this room
At the edge of time
That insane dance
At the edge of reality

The Old Swan Song
04:07

On the first cold days of Winter
I melted the snow with the fire inside
And I've waited for the flowers to bloom
But the sun was gone
Where is the way out of this nightmare?
It's time to listen to the old swan song
Are you sure that you did not choose this tormented dream
Called life on Earth?
Would you accept the agony
Of dreaming tonight as if it were real
That you lived in poverty for a thousand years
And then you would wake up and find a bag of gold?
Yes, is the answer they give everytime
Are you sure that you did not choose this tormented dream
Called life on Earth?
You know that what they call life
Is nothing more than a theatre play
There is a way out of the drama
Only a few find it
And they blame the stars and their fate
For having to earn the house of the last lantern
Are you sure that you did not choose this tormented dream
Called life on Earth?

Smoking a joint on the balcony
After drinking cheap red wine
Until I forget where I am
Or who I am
I want to be completely wasted
In this wasted society
Drugged with likes and dopamine
I was blind
Others pain meant nothing to me
Until I saw my mother losing her mind
And my father crying on his knees
At least I use self deception to forget
How sensible I am
This fucking sensible beast
That is taking the place of
The child with nightmares
With fear of sleeping
With fear of ghosts
I was blind
Others pain meant nothing to me
Until I saw my mother losing her mind
And my father crying on his knees
I tried to forget that
When I was born
I fell from paradise
And I don’t know how to swim
Through the river of impermanence
To reach the other shore
At night I hear the water flowing
It makes me forget this hollow world

We were like candies flipping on a string
Frolicking like beasts
Without a care in our empty worlds
And I never loved you
You were just my excuse to escape
I reached a point when sex with you
Became so repulsive
As I also felt sick
With your degenerate ways

In a silent void
03:21

Bone chiling snow on a thousand peaks
Wild raging from ten thousand hollows
When I first awake beneath my blanket
I forget my body is in a silent void
A thousand world are flowers in the sky
A single mind is moonlight on the water
Once the cunning ends and information stops
At that moment there’s no place for thoughts
There’s no place for thoughts
A single cloud shrouds the streamside pines
Before my door the flowing water
Babbles all the time
No matter if it’s day or night I snore
Until the bell ends my blissful dreams
It ends my blissful dreams
Frosted leaves fall into birds nests
Fireflies weave through open windows
Once the cunning ends and information stops
At that moment there’s no place for thoughts
There’s no place for thoughts

A fairytale gone wrong

I can fit in when I pretend
I can pretend I have a good heart
I can show you false security
I can be a liar like everyone else
And that is the worst lie of all
So shoot me down
Shoot me down
For the first time in your life
I used to ride her all saturday long
It didn’t take much to do it
Thanks to you I now know what is hate
You’re so shallow
You wanted to be thrilled
It was you who asked for wheels of agony

Every time
Every shining time you arrive
In the darkest hour of Autumn
When the wind shakes my mood
With your small steps
And a smile that comes from inside
You turn into gold our ways
When two people are at one in their inmost hearts
They shatter even the strength of iron and bronze
You shine in my inmost heart
I shine in your inmost heart
And I love you that much
Every time
Every shining time you arrive
Makes me wonder sometimes
If I’m inside a fairytale
You shine in my inmost heart
I shine in your inmost heart

Sad to see her falling
Mixing up her memories
Sad to watch her drowning
Losing the timeline of her life
But something inside her still shines with the sun
She’s locked in the house
Where Christ is crucified every hour
She was born to an endless night
Sad to see her drowning
Imprisoned by her own man
Sad to see her falling
Alienated from this world
For so many years
I had to hide myself
Inside bubbles and dreams
Refusing to see the evil
Coming from the walls
Wrinkles are taking her body
As she regrets the life she had
She found herself inside a spiral of insanity

My words are falling
Like feathers to the floor
And your words are flying out of the mouth
Like butterflies
Always in a rush
We never slow down enough
To show our love
My words are falling
Like feathers to the floor
Everyone I know
Is missing something in their lives
Everyone I know
Is missing something in their hearts
Sometimes I wonder
How your life would be
Without me in it
Floating into unknown beauty for a while
We float into unknown beauty for a while
Floating like a smoke ring
Everyone’s afraid of losing something
Everyone is so afraid of losing something

Undulating patterns moving on the sand
Arms are moving madly
Trying to catch a beam of light
And my friend is catching sparkles
Tune in, turn on and drop out
We were dancing naked
On that blue summer
Like only children can
Your nipples were jumping
Out of your white dress
And your green eyes
Looked so beautiful
When the flames were dancing
Right over our heads
The path we was so full of colours
Yet, it was so narrow
Do you remember when we made love
Under the spell of Lucifer’s Strange Dreams?
Tune in, turn on and drop out
