Whispers heard inside the storm Talking about me, still, they deplore me When darkness sleeps inside my head It hides something it feeds again A sick sun eats everything I need the dullness, I need not remind it Sorrow machine is back in motion Tell me I'm wrong, still that I’ve failed Here is where your dreams can be everything Here is where your sins can be everything All the nothing flakes are in the wrong place Mistakes are made and the words collided Please cure me now again I need this purifying wave My empty hands are what I have A cherry dawn, a blinding light Into the dark corner of my mind Just enough to say goodbye Here is where your dreams can be everything Here is where your sins can be everything Here is where your dreams can be everything Here is where your sins can be everything Tell me what you want again Tell me what you need again Tell me what tell me when Thorns still twist back inside Let it snow Let it snow Rust will arrive at the end Let it snow Let it snow End will arrive in the end

Eyelids 04:18
She was the doll in the dull house She was the door closing in my breaths Everything I want Is everything I was, again I feel your tongue sliding in my veins Trying to feed inside the flames Everything I want Is everything I was, again Even if your life is a coded pulse Even your taste is fake at all Everything I want, Is everything I was Is everything I was Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up I try to hide this gloom at the back of my eyelids, handful of shining bones, Nothing less, nothing more She was alone, just my smiling thing She was alone, just a deaf knick-knack Everything I want Is everything I had, again Tune in your senses to my filthy wishes God with a grudge of a stolen thirst Everything I want Is everything I was Is everything I was Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up I try to hide this gloom at the back of my eyelids, handful of shining bones, Nothing less, nothing more I try to hide this gloom at the back of my eyelids, handful of shining bones, Nothing less, nothing more Wake up I try to hide this gloom at the back of my eyelids, handful of shining bones, Nothing less, nothing more I try to hide this gloom at the back of my eyelids, handful of shining bones, Nothing less Nothing

Defiled 05:06
I think Caught in your thoughts confused minds and stubborn hopes Full of voices and full of faces waiting for a blanket of snow So far from the sun Everything is made just to be broken So far from the sun Everything is made just to be changed I listen I've changed to survive only swapping time for life Full of guilt and full of grace waiting for the awakening spores of life are mocking me The war begins, it's all I get I've still something to regret, nothing left to corrode nothing left to defile Every deepest night I fall in you Every deepest night I drown nothing left to defile nothing left for you So far from the sun Everything is made just to be broken So far from the sun Everything is made just to be changed So far from the sun Everything will be unchained So far from the sun Everything will be deleted All that you had of yourself All that you were in your head All that you’ve forgotten to be will lie bleeding in this space So far from the sun Everything is made just to be broken So far from the sun Everything is made just to be broken So far from the sun Everything is made just to be changed So far from the sun Everything will be unchained So far from the sun Everything will be deleted All that you had of yourself All that you were in your head All that you’ve forgotten to be will lie bleeding in this space Will become a new race

Give us your regret Give us your usual sick breath Give us your fate Your shining bliss and your warm lie’s nest You can’t escape from your body’s chain You can’t And if you are not yourself It’s not like a suicide For someone was a half-open door in [a] twilight from mirror seems to be a murder stain You can’t escape from this blame You couldn’t live before us Interconnection G.O.D. You cannot live without us Interconnection G.O.D. Give us your hands Give us your electrical lust Give us your eyes Blinded by glow of amniotic dawn You can’t escape from this (static) shade You can’t And If you want to be Someone else for awhile Why not? Why wait? King of the land of the "sorrow-end" You can’t escape from this (plastic) shame You can’t escape from this shame You couldn’t live before us Interconnection G.O.D. You cannot live without us Interconnection G.O.D. Benedici la nostra ipocrisia Benedici la nostra lussuria ostentata Benedici le nostre bugie imperfette Benedici il rancore di cui ci nutriamo Benedici la nostra rabbia repressa Benedici la nostra stupidità ottusa Benedici le nostre unghie sul braccio Benedici, mentre ti calpestiamo per andare avanti Come in un guanto di velluto pulsante mosche nell’iperspazio dei sensi Santificati dall’unicità del tutto Fuori dalla gabbia Assolti per quello che siamo Questa volta davvero perfetti You couldn’t live before us Interconnection G.O.D. You cannot live without us Interconnection G.O.D. You couldn’t live before us Interconnection G.O.D. You cannot live without us Interconnection G.O.D.

Similar Flow 06:14
Glance at the sky Suddenly come shapes always new Boundless sheets and valleys Hide and magnify Serial blocks Creeks and slopes The oldest skin Alive and free from these tough aesthetics Which rape it Save it, Rape it, Save it Try and see This time you'll need, this road will lead you away from here Your inner self falling apart Rebuild the roots and start again That road is changing you so much About the time to say goodbye

I'm liquifying myself Ragdoll, in your own cage Breathe, eat, shape, die Ragdoll, just a cog afraid Breathe, eat, sleep, die Drops, hung on a barbed wire Thrown in your personal void Drops, hung on a barbed wire [they said] Keep you safe from the grief Another dose of insensitivity Another dose of invisibility Erase myself and feed my coma Another pill and another soma Rag Doll, another little shade Breathe, eat, ache, die Rag Doll, not numb enough to be blind Breathe, eat, bleed, die Drops, hung on a barbed wire Thrown in your personal void Drops, hung on a barbed wire [they said] Keep you safe from the grief Another dose of insensitivity Another dose of invisibility Erase myself and feed my coma Another pill and another soma Are liquifying myself I'm liquifying

I’ve something wrong, you know I’ve something growing slow I’ve something I need, you know Thorns are still bleeding inside me I’m something wrong, I know I’m something sick, too low All the pain that I have inside, I know, Is something unfair you can’t ever fix Just leave me down And let me flow Lay me in darkness again The colour is me or what I am? White drips away from black Just leave me down when I will fall Drag me in darkness even more I’ve something wrong, you know I’ve something like a lack Closed inside a box of pins Something waiting for something more I’m something wrong, I know I’m something fake The emptiness I’ve inside, I know Is something you cannot ever fill Just leave me down And let me flow Lay me in darkness again The colour is me or what I am? White drips away from black Just leave me down when I will fall Drag me in darkness even more, even more Something wrong, something wrong

I could be so tired and slow I could be such a liar and so lost I could be so hurt, feeling so bad, not realize that I was mad It's an empty awakening without memories I'm waiting This is my perfect way to be This is my white and this is my sea This is my perfect nothing free This is my stage and this is my key I don’t want anything more than this This is my perfect way to bliss I could be so full of noise or sick I could be so full of pain so weak I could be in a perfect world in chains Perfect walls and perfect veins It's an empty awakening without memories I'm waiting This is my perfect way to be This is my white and this is my sea This is my perfect nothing free This is my stage and this is my key I don’t want anything more than this This is my perfect way to bliss Anaesthetised This time you cannot close your eyes This time you cannot run away This time you cannot hide This time you cannot close your eyes Anaesthetised This time you cannot close your eyes This is my perfect way to be This is my white and this is my sea This is my perfect nothing free This is my stage and this is my key I don’t want anything more than this This is my perfect way to bliss I don’t want anything more than this This is my perfect way to bliss

There was a small bald man He wants to save the world He wants to show the way There was a small smiling man He wants to heal the blain Do it in a better way And this is ok and this is wrong Just to fix the broken things This is ok and this is wrong They don’t need to be free Don’t let them fall, don’t let them fall They need a law They need control Don’t let them fall, don’t let them fall The need for blame They need control He was a small bald man In his perfect clothes With his shining chances He was a small smiling man With his perfect words In his perfect world There is a small blind man And we are the monkey toys We’re the monkey fleas There is a small crafty man And we are the monkey toys We’re the monkey fleas And this is ok and this is wrong Just to fix the broken things This is ok and this is wrong They don’t need to be free Don’t let them fall, don’t let them fall They need a law They need control Don’t let them fall, don’t let them fall The need for blame They need control Don’t let them fall, don’t let them fall They need control Don't let them fall

Thorns 04:29
The only thing I know, Surrounded by shades, Is my slow breathing fear It's the only thing I know What I’m looking for What I need Killed by my own thorns I can’t simply neglect it What I’m looking for What I need Come on, come on, whoever you are! Everything around me, everything is dying Everything around me, everything is changing yet All I have of myself All I have in my head All I have in my hands All I have of myself All I have in my head All I have in my hands Lies bleeding in the rain The only thing I know, Crumpled on my mind, Is the black ink of my thoughts? What I’m looking for What I need Killed by my own thorns I can’t simply neglect it What I’m looking for What I need Come on, come on, whoever you are! Everything around me, everything is dying Everything around me, everything is changing yet All I have of myself All I have in my head All I have in my hands All I have of myself All I have in my head All I have in my hands Lies bleeding in the rain All I have of myself All I have in my head All I have in my hands All I have of myself All I have in my head All I have in my hands Lies bleeding in the rain Do you know the meaning of my chains? Do you know the meaning of my pain?
