Endless nights I spent regretting that wretched day Endless nights Eyes of women hunting me down Endless nights Crushing hopes built on my way Endless nights Vices crafting a morbid crown Rise and shine, atop that hill I felt so high Her scent still on my lips, undeniable proof of crime I knew so bloody well punishment would come in time But all I could think about was the horizon and the cloudless sky

Forever Gone 04:13
I'm a liar baby Yet you give me your trust And you're even aware To nail you is all I want I like your getting drunk I like when you dance like a slut Whatever looked so smart in you Is now forever gone You can barely walk And I'm in no position to judge Let's bail out of this room Let's make out outside We feel nothing, don't we? As we taste our tongues Time to take off your pants Let's get this done Don't lie There's no way you can deny There could've been something between you and I But we like it much better this way Raging, violent, sick and astray All these years I haven't gotten any far All I've done was get laid and play my guitar
4.
Were you among the dunes When stardust fell? Thought you were by my side But you weren't there This desert hides places I'd rather not see Reminds me of the time You came looking for me Winds from the east Sweep through the land Shooting stars graze the sky At both ends Time loses meaning I wander and get lost To think I made it all this way Just to see your ghost There you are, waiting for me Under the cyan planet we meet again Too bad I can't join you as you sail in space Since I lost my wings when I fell from grace
5.
The King 04:21
I don't recall how did I get up here I've never been on a building so close to the moon The city's heartthrob echoes from far below An orchestra of engines And human cries RIFF At three AM I realize I don't know much about life Night's a kingdom with a king in disguise Bums and hookers and Godforsaken tramps They all kneel to his rule till the night ends As I walk inside I see a girl that cries Another one pays me a wicked smile Teenagers, CEO's, friends and foes They all look alike Under this sick pale light RIFF Colors fade to black and white Here comes the king of the night With blackened teeth and a pale face He leads me through narrow ways Yesmen dancing high on coke Junkies fighting over dope It don't matter to his majesty We're just cogs in his machine
6.
Shy away from me Booze granted me honesty I see much clearer than before I want you at the door You shouldn't have come over Or at least I had to keep sober But maybe it was supposed to be 'Cause I cannot stand you without a drink I never happened to meet A fuck buddy I want to keep It don't matter the type of chick It takes two weeks and they all make me sick Why are you so upset? As if I were done yet How come only now you're so concerned While you let me do anything in the bed You fancy you're into art But you can't tell a song from a fart You drink more than the unluckiest wretch But that should be normal 'cause you're a bitch Well I said what I had to say You'd better be off your way Thought you'd see me as a prick Instead you kneel down and suck my (omissis) We couldn't be any closer Me and you love to be losers Riding together the downward spiral Hand in hand, never feeling idle

Failbait 04:43
Judge me If you will All I wanted Was to give her a good time Ain't said I'm a spotless knight But believe me sir I gave her everything I could provide Every night I learn what happens When I lie So perhaps I should stop it Before I die I was mistaken Let's retry Understood you were twenty But your father wants to rectify: 'She's fucking underage How couldn't you tell?' Perhaps sir but this young she still blows way too well All them girls are such a pleasant sight They calm my temper Why should I bother if half their names I don't remember?

Asinaria 06:08
You shouldn't look at me that way I'm no worse than you And I never denied there is Greed behind everything I do RIFF I'm what you really want to be The angel lightening your misery My heart is numb and you must accept The price to pay to let go of regret You may think I smirk at your back While you try to let go and forget Truth is I don't care about you What I really wanted you never knew RIFF Spare me your scolding, what you believe is wrong You cannot harvest, only steal from another crop Even children know this basic rule Time to grow up and soil your hands you fool RIFF2 Time to grow up, you're just like me I'm simply more honest when it comes to admit We're not guiltless and won't ever be Only greed can drive two hearts to meet I don't deny I told you so many lies It was too amusing to see you struggle through What deep in your heart you knew was a falsehood Confirming thus that love turns you into a tool RIFF2

My girlfriend wants a threeway - but I'm not invited Nothing sucks more than love unrequieted She was everything I could ever want She did even share my passion for cunt RIFF If I had realized how bad things would have gone How fucking cynical I would become I could have spared all the people I made go wrong I wouldn't be playing this fucking song Years have come and gone and I'm still alone I've reached perfection through mischiefs and dejection Too blunt to sin, too lazy to atone I can barely stand my own reflection RIFF It happens one night, and we're both so drunk She calls me a jackal, she's still a skank We go to my place, toast to the things to be I don't even realize she laced my drink with LSD X-ray vision lets me see through your clothes Beyond there's a portal to the outer stars I see are suns spinning and time reeling How could you hide all this shit this far? Thought I knew you but I was wrong Thought all you needed was just my dong Not only you gave me woes to foster You even turned into a cosmic ass monster Such a shame it got so late I must ask you to leave Don't worry dear, you're smoking hot as ever You're so perfect you deserve someone much better Can we solve this avoiding any bloodshed? There's no need to tie me to the bed I scream as you spread your legs wide open What I see in between is a burning oven What have I done to have you burn my bone? You once made me free, now you have undone me (what sins have I done you want me to atone for?) I gave you the best of me, including my dignity You've taken so many bones, what's wrong with mine? Why all this enmity, was there something I couldn't see? Were your orgasms fake? They sounded just fine to me Is this why you gave me LSD, you wanted me to see The demon eating you from the inside I couldn’t I help you 'cause I was so blind I swore I would always be close But I wasn't there when your disease arose I mistook your desperate need for attention For a cock-craving without redemption And I toasted to the things to be But didn't notice your anorexy RIFF 1 I wake up in the bathtub, the house is a mess Trip got me so high I didn't bother to undress She's asleep on the couch, her body a frail husk As I sit next to her, a second chance is all I ask

V wants to dearly extend his most felt thanks to:

Giacomo DiPaolo, Alessandro Rizzuto, Michele Capitani, Stefano Clementini, Alessandro Carletti, Ozzy, Matteo Getti & Luca Antonini for lending tons of essential gear and/or giving crucial post production tips;

Francesco Proietti Lippi, who droVe our drunk asses to and fro and made it so that we could get back home safe & sound (in a figuratiVe speaking);

Nate Chapman, Federico Mattia Papi, Max Pinto & Lucia Busso for proofreading & spellchecking Valerio's awfully written lyrics;

Fabio Bonazzi Bonaca, who managed to sneak V into awesome gigs and festivals;

Tommaso Faraci, because, in a different world, in a different time, it would haVe been one of those once-in-a-lifetime loVe affairs;

Valentina Aleo, because she has more curls than Laura Sigismondi, whom we also thank;

Mary Jane and Bea Armstrong for their relentless habit of following V in tour and snapping pictures at their ugly faces;

V's loving fans. You rock! It's awesome playing for you folks!
(Especially if you're of the titted kind)


Thank you for listening. Be kind, spread the word and tell eVeryone to do the same!


AND LASTLY, WHAT YOU'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR - THE DONATIONS PLEAD!

V encourages the free download and sharing of Fell From Grace. This said, it took hours and hours of unpaid sweat and blood and psychological pain to bring this album to life. But we loVe music so much it's ok for us to haVe been through that mound of crap and to haVe gotten out stinking and penniless!

V assumes that you haVe gotten this copy of Fell From Grace for free, since you didn't know shit about the band and/or the album and hence saw no reasons why V should receiVe any kind of backing from you.

YET - if it turns out you liked the music, please ponder about going back to our Bandcamp page and donating us enough to buy a beer or whateVer drink you feel like:

This way you'll rend us eVen more eager to produce new and cooler stuff (yes,
booze helps).

END OF THE DONATIONS PLEAD.
