[English]

♫ When my personal demons are screaming

♫ And when my door of madness is half-open

♫ You stand alongside

♫ And say something to the effect

♫ That everything'll be alright

♫ Soon

♫ Smoochie

♫ Chaos attends to creation

♫ And when the shadows inside me vie for attention

♫ You stand alongside

♫ And say something perfect like concealment feeds the fear

♫ And hand me a sea peach

♫ And say, come, come over here

♫ Smoochie
