Short and sweet No time to waste Stroke and kiss But it tastes the same And it feels the same And it tastes the same And it feels the same Is it over yet? Pay your man He keeps you safe Bite his hand And you’ll regret Don’t bite the hand That feeds you bitch Don’t bite the hand Or you’ll regret You’re the reason I’m going to prison You’re the reason I’m going mad You’re mine Only mine S&M At your request No foul play No accidents No foul play No accidents No foul play No insurance claim Lock and key To hide away All the things You can’t explain They ease pain They keep you sane They ease pain Is it over yet? You’re the reason I’m going to prison You’re the reason I’m going mad You’re mine Only mine Don’t let them call you Don’t let them call you ever again

Manifesto 03:59
You don’t need to understand You just need a leap of faith Oh, please don’t turn me in Kiss me before I leave I hear Jesus Christ call my name I never thought that I’d play his game I never thought that I could be his pawn It’s in my manifesto I’ll clean up my homeland Cold night in the island Warm hands on my shotgun I hear Jesus Christ call my name I never thought that I’d play his game I never thought that I could be his pawn

Goodbye my friend I had enough of all your lies today I’m so fed up With your lack of commitment, it really brings me down Goodbye my friend I had so much for the sake of yesterday I thought you’d grown up Spoke to your girlfriend, she said you’d settled down You don’t realise and that’s it so sad I was impressed by how self-centred you are I never guessed how much you were holding back It’s not right, it’s not right Goodbye my friend Where is that present you promised but never arrived Did you get my text It’s been ages, and no, you never got back Goodbye my friend I’ll have someone else collect my books from your place Good luck with your band We played together but it was just a pass time

Kurt 05:36
He had a good childhood Was the centre of the family Could not forgive them When they took that away from him Afraid of the man who took his place Banished in his room He created another world The source of his inner force His blue eyes seduced you His voice subdued you His blue eyes burn you His voice crushed you One obsession was his life One obsession took his life He dropped out of school He was kicked out of home He turned to God In seek of love Traded guns for guitars He played in a rock n’ roll band Everyone thought he sucked But nevermind Cause he’ll prove them wrong The kid had a gift The kid had a heart What he loved to create He loved to destroy Who thought he’d be rich Living under a bridge Who thought he was chaos And nothing good could come from him But he’ll prove them wrong

Toiling, struggling to make ends meet Squeezed by another year of pay freeze Payday always comes too late Promises keep collectors at bay Ruthless sharks follow the scent They lied, they said they’d give you Money with no ties Their crime, they knew that you Could only loose Can’t buy your son a new pair of shoes They bully him, the other kids call him names The teacher asks how things are at home Has your husband found a job Ruthless sharks close in their prey Move out of the city There’s no place for you now

Juan Arencibia Amsterdam, Netherlands
