It spits a thousand flowers from it faces
Crystal melting on my eyes
Blurry visions of a future
More desolate and bleak than the last

Nuclear Winter
Oh so quiet
Nuclear Winter
You're so silent

Round and round, no break in the clouds
Endless fog coming with the tides
Pictures of merry-go-round on postcards
Pictures of places that didn't last

Nuclear Winter
Oh so quiet
Nuclear Winter
You're so silent

Rocks, trees, earth and spit
Layered with hazy prints and marks
Soon the trip will be over
And I will continue on the merry-go-round

Nuclear Winter
Oh so quiet
Nuclear Winter
You're so silent

It spits a thousand flowers from it faces
Crystal melting on my eyes
Blurry visions of a future
More desolate and bleak than the last

Cold light of the sun
No thoughts for the children
Declared null and void
Collision of celestial bodies
Value of money is all
Mars, Saturn and the Earth
Buried on celebration day
Tomb neglected and forgotten
Face routinely reconstructed
Attributed in retrospect
Vile smirk of the aristocrat
Debut of violent death
Observe, record, repeat

Bleak faces of the moon
Magister pistoriae
Observational activity
Instruments of science
Mars, Mercury and Neptune
Revolving in perfect circles
Parallax not observed
Seemingly reverse in direction
Orbital radius
Retrograde motion
Heretical models
Elements of wrath
Debut of violent death
Observe, record, repeat

Round and round and round
And round and round and round

The black dome of night
Stargazer's delight
Motions in longitude
Motions in latitude
Careful and expert study
Severe measures
Refuted and disputed
Hypothetical constructs
Cold light of the sun
Bleak faces of the moon
Debut of violent death
Observe, record, repeat

Round and round and round
And round and round and round
Round and round and round
And round and round and round

The older I get the more often I realize
I am almost never wrong
Hammers on the loose
Trying to get white, getting golden
Crisscrossing stripes of the not-so-tiger
Walk in silence
Wishing that things would change

Optimist

Making sure one gets declared an idiot
Every once in a while
Talented people with excess chromosomes
Apathy puking the colours of the lonely loudness
Wishing that things would change

Optimist

There exist so many funny trauma
People carry them wherever they go
Mine are too big and will not let me sleep
Some have many millions,
But they are fewer in numbers
Trauma are bloody, trauma are black

Some have trauma drenched in semen
Trauma are grey, trauma are white
Some have trauma caused by their moms
There exist so many funny trauma

Some nurture their trauma like a cat or dog
Traumatizing experiences shake the foundations
Some experience flashbacks of nightmares
Some suffer from hypervigilance
Or increased startle response
There exist so many funny trauma
Depression, anxiety and dissociation
Shrinkage in the hippocampus
Compassion fatigue and burnout

We were always being normal
Boring, mundane and homeward bound
We were always being normal
Make you pay, make you walk
We were always being normal

Excel in normality
We are the experts
Excel in normality
We are the elite

We were always being normal
Obsolete voice of reason
We were always being normal
Piss all over you till you awake
We were always being normal

Excel in normality
We are the experts
Excel in normality
We are the elite

Excel in normality
We have the power
Excel in normality
Normal normal normal

Morning hours in screaming futility
No sleep for the disobedient peasant
Divide and ask politely for revolution
Sobbing wreck, raise your glass and
Drink to the future day
Drink to the future day
Darker than whatever
Drink to the future day
Darker than whatever

Struck by the first ray of sun
Bonded by golden rings
Paying the price of nothing
With shiny silver coins
The royal court is gathered
For a decadent feast
Mighty emperor, bend over and
Drink to the future day
Darker than whatever
Drink to the future day
Darker than whatever
Drink to the future day
Darker than whatever
Drink to the future day
Darker than whatever

Passion, conflict, rage
Love and the joy of life
Folly into the thin air
Barbarism and backwardness

Nothing more promising
Than the ambitions of the dead

Ugliness and unhappiness
Doing what we must because we can
Liberty mistaken for freedom

The allness of nothing
Concepts and pure chaos
Submit to resurrection
Pineal gland and empty stares

Nothing more promising
Than the ambitions of the dead

Lament of the grimoire girls
Stubborn and worthless
Crash course in cruelty

Who are you stranger
Who are you stranger
Pop out your eyes
And see how they roll
Forever shifting
You are to me
As repulsive
As the naked drifter in my bed
Elbows shattered
To see how they bend

I have come here to humiliate you
You are here to be humiliated
Please be patient
If you complete the ritual before I do

Who are you stranger
Who are you stranger
The days are passing
As I slowly rip out your spleen
Adding herbs to your wine
Laughing as your intestines bleed
Black eyes
Blue lips
The pain cycle continues
As the real nightmare begins

I have come here to humiliate you
You are here to be humiliated
Please be patient
If you complete the ritual before I do

Who are you stranger
Who are you stranger
I have come here to humiliate you
You are here to be humiliated
Please be patient
If you complete the ritual before I do
Please be patient
We are just getting started
