[Verse 1]
I'm in the room without a light, a room without a view
I'm here for one more treacherous night, another night with you
It tortures me to move my hands, to try to move at all
And pulled my skin so tight it screams
And screams and screams and pulls some more
[Pre-Chorus]
Hanging like this

I'm helpless, I'm helpless again
Oh, I'm helpless again
[Verse 2]

[Chorus 2]
It's torture, oh

It's torture, oh
But I'm almost there
[Refrain]
It's torture, oh
It's torture, oh
It's torture, oh
It's torture, oh
But I'm almost there

Robert Smith shared with Les Inrockuptibles:
The trumpet on “Torture” is an idea I got in the studio, I immediately played it on a small emulator. All these parts of the album are played on a small synth, one of the cheapest in the world. With it, very quickly, I can materialize my ideas. Then afte...
