THE MONKEY AND THE MONK
I don't like it!!! I don't like this!!!I do not like this!!!
Leave me alone!!!
It's your fault!!!It's not true!!!No one can be blamed!!!
I fucking hate you!!!
Please, please, please, leave me alone!!!
Never!!!Please, please...
There is no other reality than the movie.
Put me back in the system!!!Morpheus is an asshole!!!
There is no escape!!! Death is the only possible escape...maybe.
Sei colpevole, colpevole!!!
I fucking hate you!!! I really fucking hate you!!!
You’re not so bad after all, not so bad, after all
we’re really not so bad, after all, not so bad,
I know, I know, I know
It's just that I forget
does that mean that I don’t know?
I don’t know, I don’t know, maybe,
whatever...
OLA
I don't have to walk anymore
I'm in front of the sea
the water is cold , I think,
and I wait....
MOVING
Is there another way?
It is so good to stay right here
and who cares anyway?
Just close my eyes and dive away
You must keep calm
You must keep calm
the water is as you think it is
why can’t you just jump?
Just jump, trust me, just jump
you’re going to love it
Sì, sì, I know
No! You don’t!
LONG TIME NO SEA
Leave me here alone
Please, just leave me alone
I'll be coming soon
one more moment sitting under the sun
I know, should be nice,
Just not now

SELF-SABOTAGE
It's the easy way,
it will bring you to the peace you seek
after all you know that's the truth
don't waste your time
listen to me
THE IRRELEVANCE OF WANTING
After all these years
You still don't get this
it's what you're feeling
BACK TO SQUARE ONE
(First Part)
Back again, in a circle,
a never ending wave, a delusion
Again and again...back to square one...again and again...back to square one...
(THE HAMSTER'S WHEEL)
On a hamster's wheel
back again, and again, and again
(Back to Square one - Second Part)
A never ending wave, a delusion,
inside a whirlwind,
these are consequences,
it's clear now what must be done
so, let's get it done
tomorrow it will be the...
...and again...

SNEEUWVLOKJE
Here we go, once again, through the same door
all that huge, scary pain, is it now gone?
Born again
and then once more just surrender to life's stream
GUS (Laura Mura)
Silent, wind's sighing in my room
leaving everything still
curtains wave but my heart's too dull
nothing's able to thwart lethargy
I'm back in your cloudy mood
mourning over my soul
things must take their course, it's well known
still I find myself claiming a spark
