I woke up at five o clock
weeping my heart out
All my dreams are grim, my dreams are grim
I slapped my face, counted my teeth n' bit my fingertips
Am I alive? I guess so
Bring your lips close to my face and dry my eyes
Let me in
Dont let me down,
I only need a little bit of warm ,
it feels cold in here, you see...
Or let me lie at the mercy of those city lights which blind my sight.

Can you smell the liliums?
I can feel the scent
Here I bring a shovel to dig my own grave
Six feet under's not deep enough to me
Do you remember those days? Those which were good days...
I do remember well
Here I am digging my grave, release me
Before the heal comes the pain
There is still time
Am I still in time?
It is already spring, let's take the shovel babe and plant those lily bulbs
And if have to die today, please take me to the grave through the forgiveness of my sins before your soul takes the blame.

Black Toska Madrid, Spain
/ˈtō-skə/
"At its deepest and most painful, it is a sensation of great spiritual anguish, often without any
specific cause. At less morbid levels it is a dull ache of the soul, a longing with nothing to long for, a sick pining, a vague restlessness, mental throes, yearning. In particular cases it may be the desire for somebody of something specific, nostalgia, love-sickness"
Vladimir Nabokov.
