Mental Breakdown

Looking down the rusty bridge
Wondering how’s the afterlife
I take off the worn out wings
That can’t hold any more weight
Can’t relax
My shaking hands
Can’t see through
This anger cloud
An enraged dog
Sleeps in my brain
Consuming from the inside my skull
Every night he bites my cheeks
to bury them in his rotten garden
Mental Breakdown, anarchic war taking place in my head
Mental Breakdown, when the brain derails from the path of life
Blood is dripping from my hands
the nails are tired of fighting flesh
I would miss the one I love
If I were to be a ghost
I must relax
My shaking heart
I must see through
This anger cloud
This tight necklace
given to me
Became a rope of spines n’ poison
I feel I’m short of breath
Makes it hard to say I love you
Tighten the rope – Don’t do it
Stab yourself – Don’t go away
Swallow glass – Stay here my love
Toxic fumes – This is not the time
Cut your wrists – This is not the end
Kill yourself! – There’s a new beginning

Money and Time
03:57

Everyday’s just the same
There’s no time even to piss
Working more than a machine
Is this what people call life?
Running, working, eating then
Working, running, sleeping
Some people take a pill to relax
Some drink a shot to forget
And if you ask for a pay rise
They would prefer to let you die
You showed me your smile
But I want something else
You are swimming into money
And still you won’t drop a penny
You’re wearing a suit and tie
Get laid with a few call girls
Feel like God in your office
Full of your slaves on low wages
Everyday’s just the same
We’re like a pig on a spit
An iron fork up your back
Endlessly spinning around
Running, working, eating then
Working, running, sleeping
The morning clock abuses your dreams
The morning news darkens your day
And if your hand is then needed
They’ll rip your arm and let you die!
The train stops and opens the doors
Prisoners fight to get off
With a ball n’ chain by their feet
A ball that’s made of money and time
Sexy skirts and elegant shirts
Worn to hide a social disease
Walking through the dirty streets
Puppets moved from evil hands
And when they reach their final place
Scared they are to admit the truth
Smiling slaves bending over
On which the boss releases the anger
Looking forward to the end of the day
A worn out pillow will kiss your face
Switch off the lights, switch off your mind
Before you start all over again

Welcome to Hell
04:15
|
|

You wake up but you’re not where you should be
The sky is red and you can’t stand the heat
Walking around, looking for the heavenly stairs
You spread the Word, this place is not what you deserve
And there’s a river with a guy
He’s bringing souls on the other side
“hey Sir, could you tell me where I am?”
He looks at you with open arms….and says:
Welcome to Hell!
We take care of all the waste
Falling down from Paradise
Welcome to Hell!
It’s a painful holiday
Miles away from the blue sky
A latex girl takes you for a walk
On a metal lead, “start licking my feet now!”
“I am a Priest! There must be a mistake!”
“where is your Master? I need a word with him!”
The girl’s annoyed slaps your face
“Satan’s the manager down here!
He’s busy doing the barbeque
You know, he likes the humans to be rare”
There is a temple where we keep all your friends
But I’m sorry that here the rules are not the same
You will be the one put on a cross
So you won’t touch any young meat

Tarot reader
A lunatic wolf
With pierced lips
A floral crown
Living in the age of
Glass and concrete worlds
Ask your question
Mix the cards
A spirit drives your hand
To make you choose the right ones
A picture of the coming future
Brightens your mind
On fire
You used to die
Witchcraft!
Scream the holy people slaves of faith
Tarot reader
Is hiding herself
From the crowd that
Can’t understand
‘cause she’s the only one to feel
What they can’t see
A wooden table
On the sunset light
Burning leaves
From ancient times
A picture of the coming future
Shows you the way
On fire
You used to die
Witchcraft!
Scream the lonely people slaves of life

Acid Rain

In a prison where
fairy tales are dying
you must surrender
to the injection of pain
The only smile you get
Is coming through the glass
From the outer world
The one that got you sick!
Like a falling leaf in autumn wind
The seasons flies, the tree will bloom again
so you closed your eyes and fell asleep
To wake up with summer colors and face the …
Acid Rain
A fear that never dies!
Acid Rain
something we can’t deny!
Once escaped the dark
You joined another prison
A cage of flashing lights
Bass lines, hair down and glitter stars
The music got you high
I watched you dancing night ‘till down
Leaving human cruelty behind
You paint the life with tears of joy
wash the karma away, teaching us to fight the …
You feel it’s destiny that chose this flight for you
A given gift to fight the unknown
I remember the time we spent that made me grow
To understand this weird existence

She Can't Forget
05:01
|
|

|
Drinking girl
Needs another glass
To drown the days spent alone
She can’t forget the partner lost
Who’s heart stopped beating years ago
Black eyed girl
With painful knees
Cleans a makeup ruined by tears
She can’t forget the awful taste
Of a man with heavy hands
Playful girl
Made to feel ashamed, coz she likes enough to give her lips away…slut!
Since you were born
From Mother Earth
You should carry the love
Hand in hand with the Moon
But they make you believe that pain is what you deserve
For being a woman
As God’s the father of Men
Pregnant girl
Short of time
Watches friends still playing with dolls
She can’t forget the foolishness
Of the night the freedom’s gone
Beautiful girl
And expensive shoes
Made of glass to look appealing
She can’t forget the burning feel
Of painted nails stuck down her throat
Lilith, Eva, Mary…
Feeling naked whilst walking
Surraunded by too many eyes
Ravens are flying in circle
Waiting for their prey

Acceptance
05:08
|

I am happy… I love myself… I am happy… I love myself… You’re insane!
My body is bruised
My jaw’s in pain
Too many years
Of screaming in vain
When the past returns
The pattern of life repeates again
I cannot see
The end of the day
Give me a reason
To love who I am
Blood is running through my veins
The anger’s coming … out!
Acceptance’s the key!
Please be my guide tonight
Kiss me and hold me while I sleep
Please make me feel alive
I want to forgive my mistakes and look beyond them
I need to believe!
I am happy… I love myself… I am happy… I love myself… You’re insane!
Trapped in a body
Subject to death
Sharing the air
with those ones I hate
I’m learning to walk on deceptive grounds
It’s hard to understand
All this might be planned
I give all I have
To avoid the anger coming … out!
I need to believe!
Acceptance’s the key…
The past is gone
The tears have dried
The tree of life gave its fruit
Some are sweet, others are rotten
Who knows who I belong to…
Someone is still shouting “look at that crazy angry one!”
But in the end, we will be resting together in the same place…
