the two faced man with the skeleton head
is pointing a finger at me
the lake of fire that drowns my skin
swallows every part of me
the precipice from which i jumped
seems a thousand years ago
the eyes i had when i could see
i'll never have again
hello mother hello father i'm dead
hello mother hello father i'm dead
the empty room is full of life it slashes violently
the toxic fog makes me want to wretch
but there's nothing inside of me
this world is neither good or bad it has no agency
i pull back my hands from grasping gloves
trying to bury me
hello mother hello father i'm dead
hello mother hello father i'm dead
hello mother hello father i'm dead
hello mother hello father i'm dead
hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello
hello mother hello father i'm dead
hello mother hello father i'm dead
hello mother hello father i'm dead
hello mother hello father i'm dead

jump tell me how high
jump tell me when i jump
you don't need to push, push me
i want to cut without razors
cut this mortal being
cut you don't need to
i can do this i want to
i fear monotony in absolute symmetry
this penetrating oblivion
you minus me
i fear monotony in absolute symmetry
this penetrating oblivion
you minus me
touch go ahead and touch
call me with a touch
you don't need to stop, stop me
i want to cut without razors
cut this mortal being
cut you don't need to
but i can do this i want to
i fear monotony in absolute symmetry
this penetrating oblivion
you minus me
i fear monotony in absolute symmetry
this penetrating oblivion
you minus me
i fear monotony in absolute symmetry
this penetrating oblivion
you minus me

who do i think i'd like to be forever?
would you choose to die with me forever?
what do i think will tether us together?
smashed upon a reef drowning together
in this room voices attack they scramble in my head
from the floor boards through the cracks
a haunting chorus of the dead
who do i think i'd like to be forever?
would you choose to die with me forever?
what do i think will tether us together?
smashed upon a reef drowning together

i will search for you through muddy trenches
i will shut your eyes and close your mouth
there is nothing left standing upright
the dead silence drops on moon dead ground
let's play let's play let's play mortuary dress up mortuary
pretend that the killing isn't happening
it's easier to play at
i will search for her through acrid smoke veils
my two hands are ripped on shattered glass
let's play let's play let's play mortuary dress up mortuary
pretend that the killing isn't happening
it's easier to play at
let's all just play it's miles away
let's all just play it's miles away
let's all just play it's miles away
let's all just play it's miles away
let's all just play it's miles away
let's all just play it's miles away
let's play let's play let's play mortuary dress up mortuary
let's all just play it's miles away
let's all just play it's miles away
let's all just play it's miles away
let's all just play it's miles away
let's all just play it's miles away
let's all just play it's miles away
let's all just play it's miles away
let's all just play it's miles away
let's all just play it's miles away
let's all just play it's miles away
let's all just play it's miles away
let's all just play it's miles away

Alien Skin Melbourne, Australia
I've been making darkwave electropop from elements of 80s post-punk subculture for over 40 years. Including years in the Australian band 'Real Life' topping world charts in the 80s with 'Send Me An Angel'.
Alien Skin recommends:
Haunting female French voice, menacing at times with melancholic atmosphere in the music.
go to album
Quirky melodic 1993 electronic pop from France. I love the adventurous atmosphere in the music & the breathy crystalline vocals of RoBERT. A blend of infectious alt electropop with esoteric influences
