Once upon a time
My mum had a dream
She wished me to be brave
She wished me to keep smiling
So then I left the farm
And I crossed the land
Once I met god
And I saw him crying
I found shining nights
I found somber days
I found screaming rocks
I found silent falls
So then I found the girl
I found her heart
When I had it all
I lost it in a moment
But first of all I’d eaten turtle soup
And then I killed the child in me
You don’t know, you are a turtle too
Don’t be scared, now I’m full.
Just tell me why I had to meet you in the night
Just tell me why I had to level my gun
Just tell me why I had to hold my breath
Just tell me why I had to draw the bead on you
Once upon a time
My mum had the blues
Looking at her son
Smiling in the noose
But first of all I’d eaten turtle soup
And then I killed the child in me
You don’t know you are a turtle too
Don’t be scared, now I’m full.
