She gave me head on the bed
Of my dead grandmamma
The afternoon sighed in a grey
Reflection of my heart
A grim execution
The trembling dream
Oh, it drowned like a kitten
Long and obscene
I watched the flies on the ceiling
She mistook for stars.
There’s no hope
No hope
No hope
No.
Courageous we try to maintain
The illusion of more
Glimmer the shining horizons
With what will soon bore
And the love like a wild hound
Starving and crazed
Oh, pray you don’t master it
Before your days
And anyway, finally,
The thing we dread most downs the door.
There’s no hope
No hope
No hope
No.
Oh, please believe me
When I lie
Around something gone
We are wrapped, intertwined (hypnotized)
No, never leave me
To the light
The sense of becoming is endless…
She looked up at me (and smiled)
Finding an eyelash, she kissed
Make a wish, sweetheart
I made one, I couldn’t resist
All our ambitions
And all of our trials
And only suspicions
In webs of denial
She left with her face full of tears
I went and got pissed.
