Matryoshka was originally the third track on VOCALOVE 01 but was removed from digital storefronts and streaming services on the original album.
It was reincluded in the 2021 digital reissue.
Can’t stop, the worlds are crawling through my mind
Reaching to be said, ever falling on the blind
Cue another day, I’ve really had enough
Splitting, barely fitting, my matryoshka
Hear it beating out a rhythm from inside
Frozen at the hand, always four and never five
And no, they’ll never see it coming till the end
Everything you know and love is turning on its head
Ah, I’ll be crushed to bone
Throw it away, forget you ever even knew
Ah, but I have to know
Digging deep and soon
Come on and break the beat please
Dancing through the night
Kalinka? Malinka? Sing me the right cord
Head in pieces, am I alright?
Don’t go, I need to know a little more
Loud and clear now, five and two-four
Freud? Keloid? Lead with the right key
Laugh it up then, we’ll laugh and ignore
Dance along, forgetting why you need to leave
If you’re crazy and you know it clap your hands
Dancing to a beat that doesn’t give a damn
Guess you could say I really feel the same
Everything around me is fading away
You and me really need to rendezvous
Rendezvous, come on, rendezvous
Traveling around to see a world brand new
Twisted up and marching with a 1, 2, 1, 2
Ah, feeling sick again
Hope that I don’t end up crawling, falling on my head
Ah, hold out both your hands
Catch me or you’re dead
Come on and listen to me
Swear it’s not a lie
Kalinka? Malinka? Pinch me I’m dreaming
But I just can’t hold it inside
Hey, are you thinking what I’m thinking too?
Won’t cry, cry no, ill laugh it all away
Parade or Marade or? Clap till you see bone
Wait, I’ll wait, no- wait, hey, wait, I said wait!
Just before you go and leave me all alone
You and me really need to rendezvous
Rendezvous, come on, rendezvous
Traveling around to see a world brand new
Twisted up and marching with a 1, 2, 1, 2
In a fever dream? Let me hear you sing
And again we’ll bring
Spitting, barely fitting, my matryoshka
Come on and break the beat please
Dancing through the night
Kalinka? Malinka? Sing me the right cord
Head in pieces, am I alright?
Don’t go, I need to know a little more
Loud and clear now, five and two-four
Freud? Keloid? Lead with the right key
Laugh it up then, we’ll laugh and ignore
Dance along until you’re dying with the beat
