Every single drop of water can save a little flower from get dry
Every blooming little flower can be the sweet objective of a bee
Life goes on, then you and I don't give a shit at all
Life goes on and you and I don’t give a shit at all
Every monster from the closet it is the sweetest friend a kid could have
Dear monsters, never leave us
We need you to be real cuz reality just sucks
Life goes on
A gloomy dawn is looming and you're loving it to tears
A gloomy dawn is looming and you're loving it to tears

Love of mine, oh love of mine, oh love of mine
Pouring rain is gonna clean the roofs tonite
Oh love of mine, oh love of mine, oh love of mine
Remove my skin and then protect you from the cold with it tonite
It's cold tonite, and I hope to die
Love of mine, oh love of mine, oh love of mine
Pouring rain is gonna clean the roofs tonite
Oh love of mine, oh love of mine, oh love of mine
Remove my skin and then protect you from the cold with it tonite
It's cold tonite, and you will survive
Then if the blizzard breaks the windows
Please promise me that you'll run away from here
Oh love of mine
Don't look behind
Oh love of mine
Love of mine, oh love of mine, oh love of mine
Love of mine, oh love of mine, oh love of mine

Splinters

I guess I got confused when you did it wrong
Sometimes you put splinters under my skin and go
Yes the infection was growing
And the infection was growing
Then you promised me love
Sometimes you put splinters under my skin and go
Go
Love is around here
Yeah, love is around here
But aparently gone
I guess that I deserve this because I did it wrong
I'm a dry alcoholic when talking about love
Yes the infection was growing
And the infection was growing when you promised me love
Love
Love, love is around here
Yeah, love is around here
But apparently gone
Love is around here baby
Cry me a river if I'm gone

Splintered Rotten Bones
03:05

He wasn't old but he never was young before
When the other kids were just playing with their toys
He was drawing symbols on the ground with a splintered rotten bone
Rotten bone he stole from the haunt of a rabbid dog
Oh darling!
Why didn't I listen to you this time?
Oh
Oh darling!
Why didn’t I listen to you this time?
She feels so strong but she is seventy years old
When the other elderly ladies go to church
She goes drawing symbols on the ground with a splintered rotten bone
Rotten bone she stole from the haunt of a rabbid dog
Oh darling
Why didn't I listen to you this time?
Oh
Oh darling
Why didn’t I listen to you this time?

Grey Shadows
02:01
|
|||
A conversation is flowing
You try to light my flames
Some of the words are coming
Some others sound cliche
Can feel the liquor down my throat
Burning the statements that I prepared
A conversation is flowing
Please come and light my flames
Don't judge me for my shadows
Or look me through the grey
Don't you realice you've got grey shadows as well
Don't judge me for my shadows
Or look me through the grey
Don't you realice you've got grey shadows as well
Don't judge me for my shadows
Or look me through the grey
Don't you realice you've got grey shadows as well

Dandelions
02:04
|
|||
Dandelions flying at the mercy of winds
An anthelion is dressing the sky with its sweet majesty
A mycelion is growing slow and silently
A peculiar fungus parasites a living insect
Dots, humans are like dots
Lines are made of dots
Of a line of lies
Butterfly meconium on a card box bottom
Kids kidnnapping life playing like they were Gods
God, children playing God
We are just like gods on a line of flies
Of a line of lies
Of a line of lies

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.
