Miosis 05:17
MIOSIS What happens when the plane has to land and this damn voice awakens us when the aircraft fills up with tension and precipitation when we hear "all passengers down" Can we make it right can we make it right What happens when miosis breaks the spell When light does not cause us to smile moves and words induce several possible interpretations will this feel like you know me not Can we make it right Can we keep it high just simple and bright I'm beggin' Can this be Can this be Can this be…it Cause i'm exhausted You led me to this peaceful place again where we just give the past a rest fresh air to corner the doubts and anticipations bold or blind i trusted your hand can we make it right Can we keep it high just simple and bright Can this be Can this be Can this be…it Cause i'm exhausted I'm beggin i'm beggin…..

WHERE THE STORY STARTED Lying here feeling like paradise vanished during my sleep Hell is when i open my eyes in this empty bed pain waits safe and still Butterflies sold theirs wings he burnt them now they're all gone with the wind steel and fire just feel the same i hold my womb feels like they disappeared i don't wanna see my soul fly away like sweet memories did and what you stole you killed cause i can't get back to where the story started Even in my dreams... My faith like a frail bird you beheaded then slowly dismembered i wish i never learned that word would prevent the blade from digging deeper i don't wanna see my soul fly away like sweet memories did and what you stole you killed cause i can't get back to where the story started Sometimes i'd feel like crying to this song smiling to this picture but sweet memories are one of the million things you wouldn't offer that's what you did to me that's how bad you hurt me that's how hard you raped me i don't wanna be an empty space wherever that's what i'll be cause when you stole you killed and i can't get back to where the story started even in my dreams

Mind Censor 03:39
MIND CENSOR I feel a rush soon rejected i feel a blush but soon it's tainted I feel a pride but soon i'm ashamed I grow a smile he aims at the face I see the light Shadows break in I cease the fight they start wrestling And on my back Build up a chain On which they climb To jump in my brain My little censor mind censor a thousand sharp tools in his hands target's locked and he's such a good shot little censor mind objector would you shut up and let me live How can i fly with ball and chains I'd rather die than live in jail unzip my mouth uncut my hands i've done my time and now i'm walking away My little censor mind censor a thousand sharp tools in his hands target's locked and he's such a good shot little censor mind objector would you shut up and let me live oh oh no no they don't know What's inside my head They don't know what's inside my head How can i fly with all these chains Mind censor

TO FEEL ALIVE It started with a small lie to yourself A lie without which You couldn't survive You burried your soul Deep down in a cave And walked in the sun All perky and brave For you and around you like dead souls they fell but i knew the truth and i misbehaved Who wouldn't you break And what wouldn't you fake Who wouldn't you kill To feel alive A lie in the mirror Each day that's what it takes To feel alive To feel alive Tell yourself you're virtuous That you mean no harm Then why did you go And feed on my faith Who wouldn't you break And what wouldn't you fake Who wouldn't you kill To feel alive But you're just a lie Those victories did they taste that good Did it quench your thirst like you thought it would Denial's not that much of a peaceful place How can you still stand your own face Who wouldn't you break And what wouldn't you fake Who wouldn't you kill To feel alive

Burn Me 03:27
BURN ME Pinch me Pinch me Stab me stab hard It don't matter I don't feel anything at all Push me push me right into the pit Yes i'll keep smiling if i slip and fall Burn and pin my cotton stuffings Dislocated arms Burn me Burn me Doubt me dump me Sue me smash me Right under your wheel is where i wish to be Blame me, curse me Feel free to disown me I certainly won't disagree Burn me Burn me Feels like i never felt so sad and helpless ever before I feel my heart, my soul, my whole body craving for more And my brain is such a mess It's getting harder to express My needs, my thoughts and Everyday i wake up with less I walk like a zombie through this thing you call life Feeling frustrated cause it's not how i'm supposed to feel inside And this pain is so real But i need to make it stronger Like a wake up call Cause time is running And i know i need a reminder I've lost interest in life And i need a reminder I've lost my appetite And i need a reminder An evil reminder In my holy quest Whip me behead me Inoculate me Punch me Grab your sword and cut me open Sew me up again Thirteen stitches Black cat, ladders I'm not superstitious Burn me Burn me ...

about

Miosis, the constriction of the pupil struck by the light.
It's that moment "when light does not cause us to smile". When you're suddenly confronted with the principle of reality. What will you lose?What will you gain?What is your character?

This EP is a cinematographic piece where seductive bass lines meet with edgy trip-hop/rock beats along with a sensual lyrical rocky voice.Each track bears its fair amount of darkness and light.

John Davis, mastering engineer for Led Zeppelin, FKA twigs, Lana del rey and Tricky, to name a few, said about the title track that it's so good it makes him want to "eat his own hand »…:)
