oh, constant torment! people by my side... oh, constant torment! people by my side... i'm walking forwards in the alleyway i sign autographs to someone in my head oh, constant torment! people by my side... oh, constant torment! people by my side... i'm doing pirouettes, dancing in the air... i go unnoticed, so far no one cares... oh, constant torment! people by my side...

oh I was this pretty young boy full of acne and far from being thin that spent every day watching his own bedroom’s wall’s spins i guess I was wasted but I never felt trusted i wanted to live in style but I had to create a file of my old fashioned life to see what I could find i guess I’ll be walking i guess I’ll be walking down the map from the land of the ashes and the lambs and then I did hide, had to wait for the best time... but I learned to work quite hard, to believe in my weapons, to release my stress through breathing hard and screaming loud so I’m putting some distance between me and the other little brats i guess I’ll be walking i guess I’ll be walking down the map from the land of the ashes and the lambs

we thoroughly practice a natural lifestyle saying hello to flowers worshipping many gods. our clothes are made of bracken we travel by canoe... we should invent lifejackets if we ever come too close and run, run run into the ocean and if we drowned there we'd make it romantic our main preoccupation comes from the holy sky when that blue roof starts falling smashing our worthless lives so we'd run, run, we'd run undercover 'till the mankind finds evolution

streetlamps 02:41
under the light of streetlamps my husband found his death i’m walking towards the green lands i'm meeting some people they’ll take me to the high hill they’ll carry me on their arms they’ll stay awake all night long cause in my dreams streetlamps crying over my deep grief i’m wearing my old black dress running all across the country looking for the proper place Where i´m going to throw his ashes right into the open ground then i’ll carve on the headstone “this is my man’s last known home” causw under the lights of the streetlamps my husband found his death and i’m walking towards the green lands to wear my mourning clothes and to dream of doing him just like in my teenage years every night when no one sees we'd be rolling in the grass

the car fell down right through the naval slope her parents died but she escaped unharmed she covered them in dry leaves and resin she knew she had a new life to begin she looked for firewood near the chestnut trees with lots of gathered tears that never flowed the owls began to hoot and then they flew there was no one and no one ever knew she lighted fire, put the bodies in the pyre crossed the forest screaming “there’s no one for me! why can’t i make it higher?” she started hunting little animals she hid at night inside the profound caves too many wolves and wild beasts waiting for too many dangers, soon she lost control she felt so lonely trapped in the deep throat Went to the river and her bareness bloomed soon truth invaded her now weakened brain there was no one and no one ever waved Went back to fire, threw herself into the pyre fled from life screaming “there’s no one for me! why can’t i make it higher?” the throat’s not empty, she’s a nymph, a waterfall

male cough 03:50
i feel I feel I feel something inside like a like a like a real-life sized tiring icing knife that raised fast from my stomach to my chest to my chest to my chest oh! my nest! and cried and cried and cried like a baby deer being killed by a double-barreled shot gun that laid a full-grown carcass with no spine a full-grown corpse with no life with no fight and no tribe with not light and not right i've vomited the unvomitable i've thrown up everything with no desire and the only stuff remaining here is just male cough and female fire

johnny squid 03:20
johnny came upon the lightning ask it to grant him a wish "turn me into a sea creature so on plankton i can prey" who's the master of the silly? who's the owner of the truth? thunder granted malediction johnny had no second chance little johnny made of jelly he grew eight legs and he boomed forehead, beak and shiny suckers in a current of shampoo which will sail the blues of europe which will climb the ocean walls trying to poison all the corals yelling as he gains control: this brain makes my body tingle but instead we mingle and we should create a family of mollusks to improve the species

those days i interacted festily with madame madness i need to turn the lights on i crave to see myself grown hard to find any good feature harder yet to love a creature used to live into my blindness luckily i found some kindness sailor was fucking a monster rough and bareback and it was covered in endless fur i suggest you use a chainsaw in the foliage you deserve the treatment of a star

outstanding artillery resounding loud and far and echoes colliding, the hardest of them all former step-uncle, he took me to the yard he held me, he taught me what life was all about i wish those fireworks fell down on his head filling with colour the whole shape of the air bubbles of colour from his head

where will my head rest? where will my head rest? on that embankment? the stars dressed in fluorine fluorine, fluorine where will my head rest? where will my head rest? near the crying fountain? my heart beating my heart beating faster faster, faster i yell at their guns i yell for my art i yell till i can't breathe

uneasiness 04:12
since i thought you knocked on the door i've been raving down on the floor hitting my head against the wall looking directly at the fall with my lonely eyes. suddenly i took up a knife, i tried to attempt on my life, in my head i started a fight but i realized that i needed some aid while i was looking directly at the fall with my lonely eyes when i threw it i got to know there's no pain or misery at all.

this is the story of helen, who destroyed the mighty army full of junkies armoured with their poisoned arrows. she came by through the water, rolling thunder wearing leather "aphrodite on her high heels from the tidal wave, i'd rather" she once was named the queen of all the lands of the amazons, there she chose to use the spears against her opponents' feeble zones. helen flying like a spider throwing webs right through her nostrils to defeat the condemned junkies with her marvellous tight outfits she went to tartar, she crossed the land, picked on the junkies, brought them their tramp i remember all the things she said to us when she ended labour, her smile was bright as gold and she had turned into our idol. we waved at her screaming "now we have a will for living" then he followed with her mission. lord! her life was so much thrilling... she went to tartar, she croseed the land, picked on the junkies, brought them their tramp. she burned their remains, spitted on them, left out the tartar, went back to hell. the flaming hell.
