BELLA CIAO*

[smooth controlled deep male vocals with layered harmonies and subtle falsetto, cold and detached vibe, restrained energy with underlying tension, industrial and cinematic tone, polished and spacious production, clean muted guitar textures, crisp modern drums, glitchy electronic elements.]



[intro]
Turn me into stone like Medusa 
Blind me like Oedipus 
Drain my blood like Dracula 
Ware me down like Pablo Picasso 

[chorus]
Every once in a while something changes 
It’s tainted 
Lately I can see it behind your smile 
Your testing me with trials
Throwing me into your thermite 
Yea 
So you can have my life 
[reverb slow echoing dark violin solo]



[verse1]
Dig your nails into me 
Clench on and never let go
Cover me in wax 
Let it dry fast 

Stick me in your permafrost 
Put me under dry ice 
And preserve what we had 
Maybe in a different life 
We can love 
Like no one’s watching 
No regrets no background emotions 
Just us in the middle of our ocean 

So when you loosen the ropes to let me go
And I don’t run 
Will you let me 
Back in 
Or tell me the words 
I don’t want to here 
Just like before 
All I wanted was more 
More love 
More touch
More pain 

But all I got was the rain 
When you stuck the knife 
And I felt the chocking 
In my throat 
Gave me a gun you loaded 

So tonight my love 

It’s just 

Bella ciao

Bella ciao
Bella ciao 
Bella ciao
[guitar solo]




[chorus]
Every once in a while something changes 
It’s tainted 
Lately I can see it behind your smile 
Your testing me with trials
Throwing me into your thermite 
Yea 
So you can have my life 

[verse2]
Ooooh
[scream]
I CUT MY OWN WRIST 

[whisper]
did you see me in your mirror 

[scream]
LIVING IN YOUR SHADOW 

[whisper]
Do you feel me lurk around you

[scream]
MY BLACK EYES SEE YOUR BEAUTY 

[whisper]
Do you love how I am now
[drum build up]




[SCREAM]
BELLA CIAO

AAAAAGGGGGHHHHH

BELLA CIAO
[BREAKDOWN]




Bella
Bella
Bella

Bella ciao
Bella ciao
Bella ciao

[chorus]
Every once in a while something changes 
It’s tainted 
Lately I can see it behind your smile 
Your testing me with trials
Throwing me into your thermite 
Yea 
So you can have my life

[outro]
Wrap your hands around my throat 
Take my air 
I know you don’t care 
I know your deep in lies 
Make me feel when you cry 
I see the signs 
No outlet 
But I don’t care 
I like your pain 

So cut me open again 
Lift me up
And let me fall again 

I love your greed 
I buy you with my flesh 
So you can put me to death 
Till there’s nothing left 

So just 
Turn me into stone like Medusa 
Blind me like Oedipus 
Drain my blood like Dracula 
Ware me down like Pablo Picasso

Oooooooh

Oh

Bella ciao
Bella ciao
Bella ciao
