Razor 03:55
lyrics

RAZOR It's been a little compromising No, I won't ever make fun of you. I won't remind you how you mistreated me How you fed me to pigs Calm The water is calm Doom takes over now I wish you could see me through Ah.. this mud it's all over us! How could your idol be an ape How could you crave a little cage I won't remind you how You mistreated me.. how You fed me to pigs Ah.. this mud it's all over us! It's all over.

April 03:42
lyrics

APRIL Nobody cares about anyone anymore I fix a meal for me. Walk down the street alone. I saw pretty faces running their races No time, no time for real good times Break this curse my love and hold me Hold me and tell me I'm still alive Don't mess with me I'm hurting enough And I can't bear it This pain is too strong You've put me through unnecessary pain Through feelings so awful They don't even have a name I went through the darkness Going insane You put me through so much pain I've let the sun set between us two So that I couldn't be your fool. So tell me it's alright Stop feeding me lies.. your lies no more. So tell me you'll be there You'll always be there for me.

ILLUSiON And I can’t count anymore the times I’ve been deserted And I can’t count on anyone I know And I can’t count anymore the times I’ve been Rejected, neglected, refused And I can’t count anymore the tears I’ve been collecting And I will be the one you don’t want And I will seat alone I’ll make you believe that you’re hurting me But I’ll be hurting you so hard That you will not talk That you will not breathe That you will not live no more You will not talk You will not breathe You will not live no more And I can’t count anymore the tears I’ve been collecting And I will be the one you don’t want And I will seat alone

Honey River 04:10
lyrics

HONEY RIVER It's raining petals The field it's so white Sweet voices calling from hundred of miles While walking timeless through mushroom pies I've heard the bell ringing But I'm sleeping tight Goodmorning my princess So, you're still alive? I've heard a girl screaming Goodmorning my prince of all darkness and doom You're voice is still hunting My nights until noon.. my nights until noon. Ooh.. ooh.. the love is gone And all hope is lost

Doctor, Noise? 03:49
lyrics
buy track
DOCTOR, NOISE? I was counting meticulously every single minute in this clock There were thousands of wood sticks crawling on my kitchen floor Don’t you know? Many parasites in every corner of my space, I was running in circles And there’s a hole now in my tiles, yeah.. But I'm alive Noises are messing around my head Messing around my head.. Surface it’s clear, it’s white All this white… With no more shades of gray… (I would kill with my hands) I left the iron on It left a mark once on my cheek.. Unpredictable future Dust in my bed is choking me.. Sometimes I can’t breathe Sometimes I’d run outside my brain There’s a gun in my toy box And there’s a hole now in my skull But I'm alive Noises are messing around my head Messing around my head.. Surface it’s clear, it’s white All this white… With no more shades of gray… (I would kill with my hands)

Motherfucking Magic 03:22
lyrics

MOTHERFUCKING MAGIC It seems so cool It seems so pure It seems so motherfucking natural I’m sure it’s going to end It’s going to fade It’s going to give me motherfucking grief and pain! It always does! It’s such a shame! There’s nothing special in a motherfucking game It’s just some theatre… it’s only lame Give me your love and baby… Welcome your ruin! “Welcome to the motherfucking magic, here you can relax! You can have a motherfucking ice cream with shit on top!” Maybe it’’ll last Maybe it will This motherfucking magic feeling gives me thrills It’s going to give me so much indeed It’s going to ruin me and it’s something I don’t need… It always does! It’s always pain! There’’s nothing special in a motherfucking game It’s just an act… it’s only lame Give me your sugar baby… and Welcome your ruin!

Leave Me Alone 02:49
lyrics

LEAVE ME ALONE Do you care about your future? I’ll take care of mine Background noises in my head That's what’s left behind Oh! I don’t want you anymore! Oh! I don't wanna know! Everything that we created Has been lost in time I'm not trusting you, I don't think I knew you I won’t let you bring me down Leave me alone! If you’ll ever come to a reason You’ll be worth a dime Long way up the rubbish mountain You've got building up inside Oh! I don’t want you anymore! Oh! I don't wanna know! Everything that we created Has been lost in time I'm not trusting you, I don't think I knew you I won’t let you bring me down Leave me alone!

La Vita 04:19
lyrics
buy track
LA ViTA Quelle che vedi non sono stelle Ma sono sogni gettati nel cielo dalla maga speranza Lame sul viso bagnan la pelle Si scioglie il cuore afflitto dalla mia dipendenza Si apre come fiore al sole Non posso che tremare Ritrovo forza e provo ancora ma è una prova che fa male Ma quale amore sono sciocchezze Uno scudo in ferro duro mi protegge da te C’è così caldo che sembra inferno Vedo il sole vicino sento le radiazioni C’è ancora qualche dolore di cui mi devo liberare Le mele son negli alberi.. E lasciamole cosi’… La vita è una cosa meravigliosa Quelle che vedi non sono stelle Ma sono sogni gettati nel cielo dalla maga speranza Quel che rimane di amori in terra Gioie sparse in mondi non lontani da noi Ma dove hai nascosto il cuore? In una scatola nel mare? Nel vuoto o nelle viscere? Sono stanca di cercare… Quanti rumori sono assordanti Richiamano alla vita nonostante i silenzi No, non mi piace stare a guardare Contare i passi fatti e quelli ancora da fare Guardare il tempo muoversi Azzardarsi poi a provare Sono attimi Che si uniscono all’‘oblio… La vita è una cosa meravigliosa Life is beautiful La vie est belle Das leben ist schön

Pretty Little Girl 03:01
lyrics

PRETTY LiTTLE GiRL Pretty little girl,. can’t you see? You hide from the world don’t you know that life is mean? Still life in your room ..Debris in your heart Vanity is the word but you think it doesn’t hurt.. Beauty is the key, makes you feel chic, Pretty little girl don’t you know what it really means? Powder on your cheeks, diamonds purse. Turn around and round in a pretty little curse. But there must be something underneath Something really awful that makes you feel so dead Yeah! Wow! Yeah, yeah! Pretty little girl! Pretty little girl, caught in lies Lost in the pond of chemical demise There must be a cure for monstrosity Perish alone in your pretty misery But there must be something underneath Something really awful that makes you feel so dead Yeah! Wow! Yeah, yeah! Pretty little girl!

PAURA Funny how generous is love It turns you from fine into a joke You can’t stop the wheel from turning Can’t you see that I’m not coping? Put me down with camomile Please give me back my peace of mind Yeah! They will be laughing at me They will be laughing at you PAURA PAURA! You didn’t listen to me I didn’t listen to you PAURA PAURA! Call me mean, sick, creep, cut that little cheap Cut that little cheap talk! Music cannot take the pain away just like lies do Call me deep, thick, sweet, cut that little cheap Cut that little cheap talk! Time will cherish music, dreams and love.

SOMEBODY TO LOVE Forgive the whole of your enemies And try to live again Meet your new self in the mirror ‘Cause no one really cares… Or worse, you’ll find You’re left with nothing While somebody Someone… Somebody’s trying to take away Somebody you love Betrayal tasted so bitter But then the sun have raised Took a walk in the shadow And found that time ain’t bad It just took good care of me In fact took care of you… While somebody Someone… Somebody’s trying to make its way Somebody to love Somebody to love
