Schedule 05:25
lyrics

The alarm clock sound always wakes me up earlier than when I would like to wake up. Don’t like to wake up... Don’t like to wake up... I could stay in bed for a week but I can’t because I feel systematically observed by the ...sch*** ...ssssSs... Sch*** S-sche... Schedule... You have to accept you are not the owner of your life, this is your life and it’s ending one minute at a time, this is the 21st Century’s Big Brother controlling all your puppet movements. Your puppet movements... What have I done to deserve this? What have I done to end like this? Have you ever asked yourself why you have to do every morning all the things you do every morning? We work like programmed machines. We’ve lost our organic part. We are mechanical now. Be careful! It’s coming! Don’t let it trap you! Refuse to your plans of doing plans. Assimilate you can die at anytime. Learn to accept your life is just an eventual fact. Refuse to be a slave to the S C H E D U L E.

Sex for sympathy 05:16
lyrics

You give me sex for sympathy... You do it so well... You give me sex for sympathy... Upstairs, in your bed... You give me sex for sympathy... You know I love your breasts... Bring on that sex for sympathy... ‘Cause we both have a hormonal mess... You let me do to you what no one else let me do, I feel I owe you something now You give me what I need, for one moment I want you to be only mine... You let me watch you naked... You like to ride my cock... I see you twisting while I suck up your hole... It’s hard to avoid the word ‘fuck’... You give me sex for compassion... And you do it so fucking well... Bring on that sex for compassion... Upstairs, in your bed...

Pause, part 1 04:43
lyrics

There is a hedgehog watching me There’s a position in which I never fall asleep Something spoils me Dreamland is far I need to pause for a while... There is a void in my molars There is a braincell that wants to be insomniac I’m going rusty I fall apart I need to pause for a while... I’ve seen the B-side of Dremland I cannot speak and the hedgehog gets out of my sight I can’t see anything I’m going blind I’d like to die for a while...

Puret-driven Mercedes 04:53
lyrics

It’s just another chaotic morning trying to drive through the condensed streets of this city! It’s just another mind divagation trying not to end with a nervous breakdown! Stressful! Traffic Jam! Annoying! It’s a Traffic Jam! Overwhelming! Traffic Jam! Aaahh! Mercedes!!! I’m stuck in the middle of a traffic jammmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm! It’s not my fault if the roads are full of irritating dumbs that don’t know the Vial Code! Say, how the fuck could I know you were going to turn left if you did not put the indicator liiiiiiiiight???!!! Stressful! Traffic Jam! Annoying! It’s a Traffic Jam! Exhasperating! Traffic Jam! No! No! Ah! No! Mercedes! No! Ah! Aaah! Aaaahh! No! Where can I park? Where can I stop? When will the light turn green? Where the hell am I?

Fuckable 04:48
lyrics
download
Say, do I **** on every face? So, do I seem so fuckable? Do I make people shake and outrage? Say, do I look so fuckable? My body says more than I’m allowed to explain, my feet reflect the kind of person I am... So, do you think I am what I pretend? And do you think I’m fuckable? You would screw me ‘til your last breath, I know, so recognize I’m fuckable... You’re fantasizing ‘bout how I look stripped, I know, that means you know I’m fuckable... Oh, you would swallow my fluids, you would bite my skin, you would use my body and try to give vent with me... Does an orgasm deserve what you think? And do you think I’m fuckable? Do not pretend you don’t want to fuck me... So raise your hand if you want to fuck me... You can’t deny you wouldn’t leave a single square centimetre of my body without a lick... Admit you want to fuck me... You want to treat me like a piece of flesh, don’t you? So, do you find me fuckable? Say, have you noticed my knickers are wet? I bet you think I’m fuckable.

O_o 05:13
lyrics

I never thought I would be here I never thought I could say this There is no place where I can squeal My mouth is spitting something weird Feel there is no way out, I lurch... How will I face up to what I’m supposed to do? The land gets wet beneath my feet My feet are ready to release I’m not to blame, but I feel guilty I wish at least I could forgive Yes, perhaps I’m being a stubborn goon But everybody around is disappointing me Oh, yes... feel there is no way out and I can’t trust the people that I used to Should I feel rueful for a shit I didn’t do? Sick, most likely sick, most likely hearing something mad but true Hit before I think, before I reconsider what to do Feel I’m drowning, feel I’m falling through...

Interlude #2 (skirt) 01:41
lyrics

Spit a string, you’ll better take out your skirt Spit a string, you’ll better take out that skirt You gotta find a new disease... You gotta find a friend to scream out loud... You gotta miss your favourite dream... You gotta search a better skin in this town...

Untitled #1 04:41
lyrics
download
A lonely restless one can’t resist the sudden smile of someone that insists Subconcious rush of something that should not exist... A lonely restless one with a doubt an absurd kind of feeling has been found His head is beating faster, he wants to shout... A lonely restless one cannot stand the way that someone looks at him in the end His head is being twisted once again... This lonely restless one won’t resist that sudden smile of someone that insists The frightening look of someone who persists... There’s something growing in... There’s someone falling in...

Please, fuck off 03:19
lyrics
download
Please, stop talking to me like if I had no common sense, and please, stop scorning me like if everything you touch became a success, I just want to do the right thing on my own... Just stop looking at me like if you had all the answers because you are distracting me of what I want to reach, and all I want to reach is a piece of peacefulness and relax and self-control... Tell me what you’re trying, tell me you’re insane, tell me what you want from me, vais ta faire enculer, tell me why should I waste my time keeping on talking to you... What can you offer me when it’s obvious that you’re pathetic? When things get complicated you’re always fleeing in panic. I can’t explain how you can’t see how disappointing you result... Don’t be so boring, don’t be so apathetic, don’t be such an asshole, don’t be so fucking irritating, don’t tell me what you think that would be better for me... ‘cause you don’t know... Don’t irritate me, ‘cause your life is a bigger mess and don’t say anything, ‘cause you’re setting my nerves on edge. You should learn when and why you must leave me alone...

The hedgehog’s back to make me feel sick He doesn’t want me to fall asleep I’m hiding from something I cannot perceive Tonight I feel so vulnerable I’m searching the way to get lost in my dreams The hedgehog wants me to feel incomplete I cannot guess what has made me think this It’s hot, it’s cold, it’s uncomfortable Tonight I am so open-eyed I’d love to stop breathing this anxiety Does everybody have their own hedgehog? I’m bound to sell mine! I miss the time when I was able to sleep when I had just got into bed... My eyes are fully open, my body fully tired, my brain’s overweight and my kidneys allright! I like to think I deserve to rest for eight hours a day! But... The hedgehog’s got something to say.

Ctrl+Z 05:16
lyrics
download
Why did you hurt me this way? I may don’t deserve you, but I’m sure you don’t deserve me to suffer for you. We both know you’ve behaved like the vixen that you are, and I don’t mind! I worship you anyway! It’s obvious that you got me on my knees, kissing your feet, melting myself each time you talk to me. It’s strange to explain, but I thought you did not deserve to toe the line of that supposed long dick that handles your life. I just believed you more intelligent than that, but now it is time to accept the cruel truth: That supposed long dick doesn’t deserve you. I don’t deserve this suffering for a hooker like you that only listens to her master’s cock’s voice. And you don’t deserve the privilege of hurting me. Anyway, it’s too late... You prefer him, he prefers to copulate with another one, and I simply wish I had never known you, because... It hurts just to see you... The same way I’m not to blame if I’m strange-looking, you’re not to blame for being so charming. So... Don’t play with me anymore, be clear, I’ve already been bothered by too many girls and now you’re just another one in my list of “bitches that came through my life”. This spontaneous rush of anger doesn’t mean I don’t like you anymore, you’re still divine! You’re amazing! You’re precious! You have good taste and I thought you were intelligent, but now I understand I was wrong. So I’m afraid life hasn’t got Ctrl+Z... At least you could taste me to decide if you like me! And now you come downstairs, so shiny, sweaty after hours of dancing, and I check that... It hurts just to see you...

Gullible 05:16
lyrics

I thought I got you I am so gullible... I couldn’t see you just played with me I thought you got me Perhaps you got me still... But I am starting to know what I feel I’m disappointed I don’t know what I want or what I wanted to have with you It’s good-for-nothing You’re crafty, I’m a dumb... I knew this didn’t come up to last, but... I should be grateful I simply took your bait but it’s been cooler than staying the same Perhaps it’s over I know you’ve squeezed me dry and now it’s time to pretend I don’t mind... ...at all.

If you’re gorgeous this is your time If you’re not, you’re gonna be erased This is the Natural Selection by top firms If you’re ugly, get ready to be erased If you’re handsome, you know this is your time But if you’re not, you know you’ll be erased Just let the Natural Selection spread out Let the beauty filters do their job... ...suppressing you.
