Catherine 01:59
It’s hard to live just for love Catherine Now try to be forgiven No one can say no Into the next room two men are talking ‘bout you they love you so They’d die for you but you choose to give up Catherine And your last breath of love ends up in a river of sadness I love you wait me Here I am Go away
2.
Trapped 03:21
Our own souls are the cage that will keep us prisoners We’re all now trapped Just in Thebes’ paradise We are sordid vices and shining virtues A blind man can see Much better than you Our doom is done We can’t be alone The cage traps sins It was closed for the last time Million angels tireless workers who never rest all around of us Our doom is done We can’t be alone The cage traps sins It was closed for the last time And it will be forever
3.
I’ve never been in your real world And you’ve never been inside me I remember silence all around me And a huge desire to laugh I wanna start to be someone And stop to seem something But my great inner strength Is trying to escape from here I saw a sweet outline of child With two hard eyes There was smell of sleep and tears On women’s faces When every word and every thought is a lie To be yourself is the hardest role to play I must choose to live in one of many endless realities That our confused senses are failing to perceive
4.
I like shiny things I take them anyhow I want money and plushy mansion I don’t care about you So how can I resist? I want to swallow poor food or just throw it away of course I am a pig But how can I resist? How can I resist?
5.
I’ll water every day the little tree to which I’ll hang up by my neck I’m not worried about death Next stage can’t be worse than life People come and disappear Now I’m here but I’m not real While the bells tremble in the wind the kids are screaming in the street Have you ever seen me? Do you Know who I am? So walk, walk with me Just walk close to me I’m your gorgeous mermaid wearing a pair of high heels but can you love me enough? A guilty eye can’t say the truth Have you ever seen me? Do you Know who I am? So walk, walk with me Just walk close to me

There are so many things about you that you would like to understand What you feel for him it's not pleasure but much more You’ve never felt so close to someone before The eastern man? the dark shirker? the Spanish one? but what about your husband? He's the other side of love The cab of remorse is running hard today Carried by two white horses It goes on the atonement boulevard ‘cause nothing makes you glad like the black autumn sun

Leers 02:36
An unknown man to talk about philosophy and a thousand more in your bed Loved by many, and by no one Where are you, honey? record stores, hotel rooms money, hot afternoons, pleasure, cigarettes a young boy and so many leers you've been sold again, you’ve been betrayed for the last time evil men all around you but no one will lie with you time of love is done you lie alone on the floor
9.
When I was sick and naive Three sisters of mine All around my bed It was enough for me my room whispers your name my body cries of pain but my mouth has just lovely words and my heart is white as my sheets There’s no one to blame no one to forgive no one to forget no one no one I cling to this moment whatever happens this is happiness I can’t wish for anything more there is no one to blame no one to forgive no one to forget no one no one life is leaving me but it gave me so much I’m tasting this is perfection I’m not afraid
10.
Try to keep close try to understand Try to grow up try to sleep try to be innocent Try to say the right things try to do your best Try to stay forever young Try hope and start again Hope to be safe hope to be dry and warm Hope to see you again Start to be yourself start to keep calm Start to give and not to trade Stop to betray Try hope and start again
11.
Dust 02:07
You feel loved and it’s so good You feel fooled and it’s so bad You are worm’s food and you like it Are you alone or simply dead But people like you make this world worse Remember man, you are dust And when unto dust you’ll return The wind will sweep you away
12.
A movie to fall in love Tears and yawns A gray landscape And a cold climate Now you can kiss me I’m crazy for you You are all my world And I don’t want anything more A summer to live into the wild Only you and me two sad and light hearts holding each other You can take all of me I’ll never go away Our life will be perfect We’ll always stay together Too many promises And a fake love too many lies you’ll say goodbye A movie to fall in love
13.
Between night and sunrise in the hour of the wolf people born and people die and your sleep is deeper Are you scared for this? Since you refused the last refuge Your demons are haunting you They’re all in your mind and your nightmares becomes reality Between night and sunrise in the hour of the wolf, Your demons are haunting you They’re all in your mind and your nightmares becomes reality (Goodnight honey) your nightmares becomes reality (‘night my sweet baby)

about

A mighty and vigorous sound that becomes sometimes sweet and dreamy but also deeply sad, at the same time. Surrealistic, introspective lyrics and a rude narration. Indented and dark atmospheres, gray and foggy backgrounds, claustrophobic and troublesome spaces, huge and confusing landscapes, where women and men live between lies and truth, love need, reconciliation with themselves and with God. Unknowns fears.
