Smoke in our eyes,
Poison in lungs,
Kids losing life
Trying to survive.
Welcome to hell.
You have no chance.
We’ll disappear.
But nobody cares.
Fuck off, but I just don’t want to watch the news.
Cut this crap!
All the time skies are still
There are shining stars above the dark ceilings
All my life I’ve been awarded with this clarity (x2)
We have no face,
We don’t even count,
We’re torn apart
Drowning in salt.
We don’t exist,
We try our best
To communicate
But nobody cares…
Nobody cares.
Every time I hit the ground
Velvet carpets keep my soles well clean
All my life I’ve been protected from the hell they live.
All my life I’ve been blind
But I’d rather fly.
Now I see, now I cringe
Willingly I stay still and choose their destiny.

Temporary Spell

I lived it all,
Or so I though.
I was
Wise like a toad,
I wouldn’t let you go.
You had the control,
I the remote,
Batteries low.
I swallowed
Miles of oleander.
But I still wonder,
I’m a leader…
Of no one?
Not even me…
But I’m still here,
And it’s all that matters.
I’m still here, I’m not gone. (x4)
Hopeful,
I see you’re temporary.
I would be delighted If you…
Fly away,
Where water dries,
Where the sun won’t burn
And deliver
All the letters
I kept from myself.
I should be awake,
With blood in my veins
Instead of vervain,
Instead of distilled water,
Unwoven again.
Hopeful,
I see you’re temporary.
I would be delighted If you…
Let the sun fill my eyes.

Dear Cordelia

Dear Cordelia,
First day of school
We’re 3 and we’re in line to start
the friendship of our lives.
After our snacks
We swing, we slide
we make sandcastles
and we fly.
When at home we do homework,
We use your toys
and create a queendom of our own.
Then night will come, it’ll be the first time I slept abroad.
I have no clue who will replace
The hole you left; you had to move,
I had to grow out of comfort,
Not feel alone and find a new you.
Dear Cordelia
What music do you listen to?
How does your town look like?
I’m in a band,
I’ll finish high school and go mad
With all I want to learn.
Grow old, travel alone
And have children of my own,
And then one day
If you can, we’ll meet again.
We’re miles apart,
But our memories stay intact.
No pictures burnt,
I forbid it.
We’re matching souls
From cheeky to wrinkle covered
If life had other plans in distant planets
We’d break the void
We’d cross anyway.
Dear Cordelia,
I loved your daughter’s wedding.
I had the time of my life.
We only had one day,
We played those tapes we still keep.
We relived how we flew
Away,
To fantasy bay,
Where birthdays were festivities.
All pastel-like
But flavoured sour-like.
The experienced skin
We have is filled with old-style sun,
Bike rides that scratched
For a minute.
We’re matching souls,
From cheeky to wrinkle-covered.
I haven’t heard from you in at least two moons,
Please, answer me…
Are you there?
Dear Cordelia,
I brought you flowers.
Only a stone separes us.
Cordelia, Cordelia are you there?
Cordelia, Cordelia are you there?
Cordelia, I miss you darling,
I hope to see you there.
Cordelia, I miss you darling,
I hope to see you there.

What ethics?
What morals?
Whose words you’re using?
Whose mind you’re puking?
Who am I?
Who are you?
You use your crown
To feel, you destroy.
Where are
My rights?
I feel alien.
Enough, enough, enough.
How does it feel when you call my name?
How does it feel when you see my face?
It makes you swear.
It makes you sweat.
How does it feel when you call my name?
How does it feel when you see my face?
It makes you swear.
It makes you sweat.
You shush me,
You corner me,
I keep showing you I’m valid.
You make no signs
But I’m not paralyzed.
No help to achieve
Your impossible goals.
I prove you wrong,
But you deny my throne.
Where are
My rights?
I feel alien.
Enough, enough, enough.
How does it feel when you call my name?
How does it feel when you see my face?
It makes you swear.
It makes you sweat.
How does it feel when you call my name?
How does it feel when you see my face?
It makes you swear.
It makes you sweat.
Hypocrisy on demand.
Your smile made me rise.
If I’m strong will you sing along?
Know it’s tough.
Talentless, what a misery
Our time.

Dantès' Tree

Carry me through the wind
to absorb, to combine.
On a ship to rewind
what I learnt as a child.
Hold on, you mean…
What?
You didn’t get it
Right, no. I don’t
What?
Try to resemble
What you heard there.
What?
I do my own
Craft, sir. Let me
What?
open your mind.
I seem small
but when I want
I light my fire, fire.
Don’t mistake those ways
to be the only right.
You’re missing the best
of your time.

Stargazers

A new journey is about to start,
A new cold night.
The greens become the blacks,
The moon will be our guide.
Is there anyone outside?
We’ll use your light.
I have a big feeling inside,
Infinity has caught our eyes.
No boundaries, no limits,
This dome is all we’ll ever have.
Hey Andromeda, are we just ants?
We know you’re far,
Who else is standing by our side?
We need more light…
Will you stay day after day?
Promise you’ll stay…
I have a big feeling inside,
Infinity has caught our eyes.
No boundaries, no limits,
This dome is all we’ll ever have.
Surround me with your darkness,
Surround me with your light.
Surround the crickets singing,
Surround me fireflies.
If you stay I’ll be okay,
It’s your sight I need to spy. (x4)

Hello, hello (x4)
Never said I reached the dark,
Never used a map.
Never said your voice comes clear.
I hear you sing la la la.
Welcome, honey, you did fine.
Come closer.
We’re short of blood, should be a sign.
Game over.
Heard the news we make a bow and bring you joy,
Your wish future shining in a bottle caught.
Skills awarded opulent and falsely
so that you won’t hesitate to stay with me.
Scary warnings, mistrust, baby you can’t quit.
Suck your blood, spit it out, that’s how we’ll proceed.
Wrapped in black rope. What a present you’ll receive!
I’m sick of your weight,
You have grown.
I need your sight
on my own.
Your moves are smooth,
cruelly.
I hope you root
À terre with me.
I’m confused
by your choice.
You pick me up,
Then drag me down.
C’est pas de deux,
We disagree
noisily
on our paths.
Dignity is punished,
Hold me close.
I’ll open my door,
Let me go.
Indigestion in our lungs, both our guts.
May this feeling last through the night.
Invade my time, use my tongue, fear my mind.
Since tomorrow you ain’t gonna die.
Tighter, tighter,
Hold me tight, let me go.
Tighter, tighter,
Hold me tight, let me go.

Frosty Meat Pie

Are you ready for this?
Are you ready for this?
I got the whole cake
Tu cut my own way,
To chew and gulp down.
My hungry intestine,
Not enough jelly-filled,
Not enough people killed,
Not enough.
Move, move, move, error!
Shoot, shoot, shoot, error!
Fake, fake, fake, error!
Shoot, shoot, shoot, error!
Put more liquid in it,
Put more liquid in it!
Your tears are champagne,
Your laughs, ignorance
My crappy campaign.
In my glass I will pour
Your treasured cure,
Black liquid in my control,
Black liquid.
Move, move, move, error!
Shoot, shoot, shoot, error!
Fake, fake, fake, error!
Shoot, shoot, shoot, error!
You got what you wanted
You chose this,
You chose me…
You chose…
Me.
