City of sirens Lights fade out and streets nod off City of sirens ran aground Police cars seem roundabouts Beside the wings of a pegasus Born shopping cart Wind quivers in an orphan cry city of silence fears to sigh and for first time its whisper grinds it's voice disarmed by a sonata woven of kites Soft night breeze seems dressed of glass as it brushes your nape it almost cracks and leaves, already breathless, stay stunned swayed by the wings of a pegasus Born shopping cart

Tales of a napkin's corpse Springs that we found on attics' trunk Survived dressed of grey dust in an urn Butterflies grew up vultures fluttering me As I'm falling backwards I'm falling backwards Over the autumn ground sown with old pictures husks And buried under things that I lost scrawled in a napkin's corpse And all our yearnings made of brass We know they are just stains of dusk And our lies instead of your fingers hug me As I'm falling backwards I'm falling backwards Over the autumn ground sown with old pictures husks And buried under things that I lost scrawled in a napkin's corpse

Masquerade ball Iron in rubble's facades shines so bright welter soils the face of the bitten by the tides Streets suppurate grey poison shaded of bile to forget the starch tightening our smiles Black curtain falls and, naked, Velvet night exhumes our hearts Velvet night exhumes our hearts Marionettes hanging on the power lines Overflow the streets in a hollow eyed rush Inside the cave still sparks the trembling fire But shadow play crumbles under city lights And then, just then, with star stained hands Velvet night exhumes our hearts Velvet night exhumes our hearts

Laurel leaves part 1 Excuse if I'm too late Please, let me introduce myself I'm just the one who died for you Please excuse this vain attempt To unleash sharpened kisses plague In my death row condemned lips As i tied laurel leaves with hooks and nylon to my skin To feel your arms again As my rotten old disguise lied in embrace with siamese beds The whisper of skin exhaled A crooning of blades A crooning of blades Please let me crawl to your arms Even if they tear apart my skin to shreds curled up in the wind Let me rush towards your traps and be sweetly hold and spurn the death in disguise with smooth velvet lips

Cysted tears 03:03
Cysted tears Life's a whisper drowned in moths, Summer howlings scratched in the skin of our voice Life's not waiting, weaving gray hairs Life wont wave goodbyes Dried out eyes miss onion's scent Cysted tears forgot skies tinted of gray Life's not waiting, weaving gray hairs Life wont wave goodbyes

Chalk smiles 02:40
Chalk smiles She cries and her tears are deciduous days And her mourning worns my veins When her eyes forget their shine In their sockets still alive Then her voice is just... She cries even though with quartered eyes And her silence scrapes my scars Every sob corrodes the mime Drowning ivory in red mud In the void's embrace

Graphite nights Killing me, Slowly killing me every verse was spines in my throat The beauty was a blade wearing off white clothes Her dress was staind of the blood of a hundred graphite nights And killing me, slowly killing me every verse was spines in my throat
