PLAY YOUR CARDS RIGHT!
When you were younger, when you were young enough
Let’s say, a younger kid, everything was bright, dont you think?
When you were younger, you were young enough
To say goodbye, look ahead and turn your back, make it count
When you were young enough to chase the night
oh, baby, baby it’s time to show up what we’re made of
dick shaped stars and a very thick blood
we took too much more than we could afford
Still got rockets in my eyes
Out of orbit all the time
Still there’s something in my head that’s screaming
What about you?
When you were younger, a younger kid than today
ding your bike in a late summer breeze
now that you fucked up once again
wash your face and have a drink
Your skin is changing and so your dreams
Out of your mind and on your knees
Are you really praying, are you for real?
Yeah, what frightens you so much my dear?
What about you?
Did you find something worth fighting for?
Wha happened to you?
Did you play your cards well?
It’s not to late… It’s never late!

RUBBER BALLS
Monday morning shit hits your face and you get used to it
Hope that tomorrow something happens and wash it away
You need a solution
Sort of medication
So remember the best time of your life
When we spent so many hours
throwing rubber balls, having a blast
talking to your old man
saying things couldn’t be any better
looking forward to meet that girl again and again
again and again
reharsal in my bedroom
getting drunk with fucking lemon shit
friendzoned by random girls we fell in love with
crying in a beer, 'cause that is what a man should do

SPIRALING
In the night when the cretins hop
I feel dirt glistening all over my face
Stuff a cigarette with shit
Legs start pounding and my brain is taking off
In the night when the cretins hop
A long time friend’s knocking at the door
“welcome back apathy, it’s always a pleasure”
'Round and 'round my head keeps spinning
I’m all sucked down by the couch, downward
Spiralling, baby hold my hand please
Vanishing though I sit and stare
C’mon baby won’t you spiral down with me
C’mon baby sit and stare here with me
In the night when the cretins hop
I stick out like a sore thumb
Smile back randomly
Like someone here was smiling at me, yeah!
'Round and 'round….

THE COLD NEVER GOES AWAY
What I remember is the sourness of sourg grapes
Cheering me up more than beer
That smiley face scratched by the rain
Shut in a cube and frozen into pose
This ain’t a metaphore, no
Cause the cold never goes away
The cold never goes away
Yeah was it cold, how cold can the summer be?
I must have drunk too much I guess of those sour grapes
It was summer after all, still it was so cold
And that cold never goes away
The cold never goes away
Still I enjoy listening to thats song
That makes my bones shudder
‘cause I’ve never been afraid of bearing
the weight of my own world
so far I never wanted to forget
I collected pictures of those days
Shield them in my head
Inside of me there’s still a place hidden in the snow
Tonite it’s getting cold...

Can't tolerate it

I CAN’T TOLERATE IT
I don’t wanna go out and
stand at the process of taxidermy
I’m not inclined to moderate myself
So I exaggerate, I exaggerate
I don’t wanna hang out
To see those jelly brains on high easteem
I’m not inclined to moderate my drinks
So I exaggerate, I exaggerate
‘cause I can’t tolerate it
I can’t tolerate it
I don’t wanna live in a perfect world
I really don’t want to partecipate
I hate it and can’t tolerate it

Be true to your skull

BE TRUE TO YOUR SKULL
“Be true to your school” - You were singing along
With your head in the clouds
“I don't know what to do, gotta be strong,
‘cause strong is yet my school”
So I went in a place I used to wander,
thinking about the facts of my life
thinking of you, thinking of her, thinking of you..
hold my hand baby and when you get mad
trust me dear, trust me and never forget
what I’m trying to tell you now:
I’m doing everything, everything, everything for you
I’m doing everything, everything, everything fot you”
Be true to your skull, I was singing on my own
With my head in the clouds
I don’t know what to do, I gotta be strong
Cause strong is yet my skull
So I went in a place that I used to wander..
Hold my hand baby, and when you get mad…

A GAUNT PERSPECTIVE
Woke up in the middle of a nightmere
I must have fallen asleep whillst walking
Black sky and a flock of vultures
Remind me I gotta go home
Bored with every ugly fucking youngster
Fuck god and its puking angels
I fell down into a dark vertigo
Moving on but moving too slow
I won’t be sober any longer
I'm kinda losing hope
Wish I could spread my gaunt perspective
On everyone I know
Wish I could blacken some skies

Just Yesterday

JUST YESTERDAY
Walking around in circles
Miles away from my body
Thinking “cigarettes bad habit”
Thinking “ I can make it worse”
Playing guitar in my living room
Having a beer or two
Thinking “memories bad habit”
Thinking “what is going on?”
And I don’t know where I’m going
I don’t know where I’ll be tomorrow
But I know just where I was
Just yesterday
Losing touch with myself
Detouched from the rest of the world
Singing something for the ugly
Singing something for the old
When there’s nothing to entertain you
So you entertain yourself
and you think you're pretty good at it
I guess maybe way too much

SEQUELS
Nobody knows my face better than me
Sappy movie, I longed for sequels so many times
So many people turned to ghosts and it’s alright
Who needs sequels afterall, yeah it’s alright
One more time my hands are shaking
One more journey into the open wound
I just wish with all my heart
You’re doing your time
Nobody knows my heart better than me
Solid structure and concrete, yeah it’s a lie
To drink sand and to pretend it was whine
I knew you well, now it’s over
Now it’s over and it’s alright!
One more time my hands are shaking...

SHIT GHOST
Hey old buddy, it’s been ages, I know
I know but please let me go
Were we friends? Well friend get lost
If I turned my back please turn yours
I’m so dead, I’m a ghost
I was a shit friend and now I’m a shit ghost
Nobody cares in the end
Don’t pat my back, drop that smile
Wipe my face out of your memories
I don’t care what goes on in your life
I got mine and it takes all of my time

Me and a bunch of people

ME AND A BUNCH OF PEOPLE
What am I doing here?
These people are looking at me
and I, I hate everyone
I gotta get out of here
Rage levels - out of scale
I hate everyone
(that’s what I’m doing right now)
All the smiles and the back pats
Are a declaration of war
Got a demon in my fanny pack
Waiting for my command, to come out

Making space

MAKING SPACE
Sawdust paling into my head
Enough to fill a shed
I need a mind plunger
And drops of turpentine
To kick those blodsuckers out of my head
To erase that feeling
that I dont wanna live with
Iìm making space for new stories
I’m making space – maybe good ones
I’m making space and it’s draining
God let me be brave
I’ve been tourturing myself
Solving riddles from the past
No emotion came to help as I faced the darkness
And among every wicked thing I’ve done
The edge was biting my own tongue
Everytime I was getting closer to the bone

THE FOOLS
These stairs of rock, werent they bigger? yeah it’s been a long time
Such ugly plants are never green
The telephone boxes once worked, i remember the sticky floor
The boredom turning into fun
Yeah we put those days on fire, and we forgot to watch them burn
We forgot all those things we once called unforgettable
Those plants grow old
If i remember one thing then I remember them all
I’d remember the secrets I i once have been told
I'd remeber the faces I'd remember them all
If I forget to grow old , I forget to grow old
Broken bottles and middlefinger, yeah it’s been a long time
Maybe not that long at all
The magic of the world seen for the very first time
Yeah like we cared at all

FLIRT WITH DEATH
No corner is dark enough to spy
No corner is dark enough to hide
No corner is dark enough to die
Wish I had something nice to say
and I forced the words out of my mind
I'm glad that someone smiled
At a face glued to a body
And a body glued to a face
I’ve been flirting with death
Now I’m gone too far and I can’t come back

MONDAY DRINKERS
No aliens, just alienated
We disappointed Jesus Christ
We all agree that Jesus Christ
Was as real as a flying gorilla
Fuck the world, fuck that girl
I’m such a liar
I understand when I liar lies
Monday drinkers, thanks for exsisting
Thanks for your beautiful smiles
Monday drinkers, thanks for exsisting
Thanks for your beautiful minds
Let’s make a toast, everybody
Your bottle against my scrotum please!
We used to be such wonderful kids
Not those kids are full of shit, yeah
So fuck the world, fuck that girl
I’m such a lier, so I understand
When a liar lies
Monday drinkers, thanks for exsisting
Thanks for your beautiful mind…
