Sourly, you go into battle
armed with a cup of lemonade.
So grand with your stand,
please allow me to admire your parade.
Take a swig with me,
come on and pour another glass
with a little bit of sugar and a couple of ice cubes,
and another more would be nice.
have a little bit of lemon
squeeze me a lemon
You are tempting me,
a sour way to blow my cash
--I look into my wallet and my dollars are gone, gone ...
into the summer abyss
into a river of lemon juice and piss.
(take a look at what you've made)
I remember summer sun,
swamp-ass indoors, cracked lips, and sandy tongue.
A river of sweat that flowed through my pits,
touching the fan with my pinky for fun, ...
Take a swig with me, ... - Track Name: Conjecture

empty spaces
between two points and such
converged traces
intimately close yet do not touch
oscillé, ...
suprema
infima
empty faces
although two bodies touch
diverged complacence
infinitely verbose yet do not much
oscillé, ...
suprema
infima
An essence of shadows and spirits are we,
but drawing lines and limits makes sense to me.
We're bounded by three, just you and me, baby,
but all we can agree upon is incongruency
Father Time, the geezer's dragging me down
With the pendulum he's swinging around
You said to me, "You're the only one for me, yeah"
But all we can agree upon is incongruency, yeah
oscillé, ...
infinitesimally alone - Track Name: Alien

People think I'm crazy
And out of my mind
Stranded in this point
In space and time
A lone pathetic weirdo
Pitiful
Quarantined within
This fragile skull
An alien you can tell
From a strange world I fell
Patched up inside this shell
This home feels more like hell
Constant paranoia
Fills my veins
Facing others is a puzzling
Quite mind-boggling game
You're all out to get me
For being strange
Maybe it is you
Who is deranged
An alien you can tell
From a strange world I fell
Patched up inside this shell
This home feels more like hell
You call me an anomaly
Alien
An outcast of society
Alien
Why are you afraid of the alien?
You may think I'm crazy
But so are you
You're a lonely fucked up weirdo too
An alien you can tell
From a strange world I fell
Patched up inside this shell
This home feels more like hell
You'll noticed pretty soon
I'm just as strange as you
So please accept the truth
That you're an alien too - Track Name: Long Distance Call (from Grandma)
-
Long Distance Call on the phone today,
she said she had something quite dear to say.
A weight in her heart when she went away
so she's sending some love here from Grandma
She only intended warmth for me,
but burned me when giving so selflessly.
And that's why she's sending me rolls and tea,
this time, with no pain from Grandma
No need to apologize
when I see only love in your eyes.
And how could I ever resent
when I've always held close the sentiment?
Grandma, I'll always remember you.
I miss you but know I'll be with you soon.
And give my regards to Grandpa too.
He's lucky to be with you, Grandma.
He's loving this lovin' from Grandma - Track Name: Wonderful Day

It's a Wonderful Day (hey)
The sun is up, and I cannot stop laughing
Just enjoying away
Not alone with the grass and trees and (hey)
Boodeh-meneh-meneh-meneh
The sun is up a sky-a-blue, but so are you
'Cause when you learn to love, you learn to hate
'Cause—you know I love to love
And I hate hate . . . ing you (hate hate)
Although I do, yeah
It's a beautiful night (alright)
The moon is up and I'm monopolizing
Not wasting an ounce of light
Hum a catchy song of loving, everything is (alright)
Boodeh-meneh-meneh-meneh
The moon is up a sky-a-blue, but so are you
'Cause when you learn to love, you learn to hate
But—you know I love to love
And I hate hate . . . ing you (hate hate)
Although I do, yeah
Don't you know I love to love
and I hate hate?
So you better love my love
before it gets too late.

cold and dry
a sewn eyebrow
face deadpan
smile
strains my hands
to forgive right now
And you're just making it harder for me.
slow deep breaths
from your dead chest
dark crossed eyes
smile
no more lies
peaceful rest
-And you're just making it harder for me.
An essence of form and of light:
I draw a line to try to make some sense
of what's in my mind.
That is why it's so frustrating,
the picture just doesn't seem
to end up the way I want it to be.
And you're just making it harder for me.
You had to ruin it for me.
You're only bandaging me.
That is why you lied to me.
You should have just listened to me.
You did what I would hate the most to happen.
Did you ever care about me?
You must feel what I feel.
And you're just making it harder for me.
That is why I long to be by your side.

Ancheggia come una bella
cammina a testa alta
sii' una maledetta
viziosa ma sempre carina
il mondo di scintillio, di brutalita'
rompi il suo ego nella terra
ti metti il tuo sguardo minaccioso (Ha!)
ti vesti in abito da sera
guarda tutte le donne belle
non possono scappare
solo una sara' la vincitrice
tutto quello che vuoi essere
ancheggia come una bella
con gli occhi di una maledetta
le labre sono soffici gli occhi sono pieni di
malizia e fuocho, la pelle e luminoso
io volevo essere la eleta
invece sono diventata
una donna perfida
mi vesto in abito da sera
io non voglio essere
una delle donne perfide
non sono la vincitrice
voglio gridare
le labre sono soffici gli occhi sono pieni di
malizia e fuocho, la pelle e luminoso
io non voglio essere
una delle donne perfide
non sono la vincitrice
voglio gridare - Track Name: Pool Party

Welcome to the biggest party you've seen,
we've got things that you wouldn't believe ...
just wait 'til you go down the LHC waterslide.
Bring your sunscreen, glasses, bathing suit,
bring your grandma, she'd love the bag of loot
of fun stuff, mysteries, and surprises inside.
DNA strands used as noodle swords,
petri dishes are but boogie boards,
but whirlpool centrifuges just might be your demise.
Lab gloves make awesome water balloons,
what we're doing here you'll see fairly soon,
just try not to get too much chlorine in your eyes.
Welcome to the biggest bash you've had,
let's hope the neighbors don't get too mad ...
though I heard Venusians aren't too kind.
The sun's indeed a giant disco ball
We're dancing off a waterfall
The antics here are off the wall
We're glad to know we knew you all
We'll keep on going 'til there's nothing behind
Bunsen burners grilling hot dogs,
rolling logs and flipping pogs,
earth slammed into ocean, wondering "Why?"
Cities drowning as we get a tan,
party-pooping geezers building dams,
you will have so much fun before you die.
Submerged underwater now,
oceans upon oceans and nothing below.
Trapped in, not a lot now,
drowning your sorrows because there's nowhere to go.
