See Us, Tell to Us
Who takes the fire in this night
Darkness, speaks with Us
Who brings the lies in this life
Living in the dark
Closed room of the disease
Time runs as My heart
Between dreams and fears
Wishing for a spark
Surrounded by the trees
Don't know where to start
Numb in all these years
See Us, Tell to Us
Who takes the fire in this night
Darkness, speaks with Us
Who brings the lies in this life
Memory of my art
And all these dancing keys
Silence is only a part
When there's no more tears
Feelings fall apart
There are no volunteers
Forced to stay in the dark
When anything is clear
Speak with Us
Undress Your sins
Talk to Us
Sing what You feel
Walk with Us
Face Your Fear
Sing with Us
Embrace this sphere

I do not know where I am in this time line
There are too many things crush me above
You always tell me: "Everything is fine"
Even when there is the mourning dove
I always ask myself: "What is the right shrine?"
Enclosed within the walls I cannot find the love
I spent a lot of time researching this sign
But I always fall on the ground with a shove
The bleeding of time will never end
This red line turns the world in grey
How much this spine will be bend
How far will it be when You'll be away
The bleeding of time will never end
I cannot see the border of this red line
How much this spine will be bend
This time upon the gallows, to dust
Now I think always to my head on Your sine
This thought becomes fire in my blood
Sitting next to all my mistakes, I dine
Hoping tomorrow there will be no flood
You always tell me: "Everything is fine"
But I see my feet in the mud
With my trembling hand, I remove this brine
From this dark room, I would just like to scud
The bleeding of time will never end
This red line turns the world in grey
How much this spine will be bend
How far will it be when You'll be away
The bleeding of time will never end
I cannot see the border of this red line
How much this spine will be bend
This time upon the gallows, to dust
The colors of the past
Violated by the grey
Fade in the chasm
As all my dreams
Nightmares in the dark
Born from sorrow
Smothered by the life
Buried in solitude
The bleeding of time will never end
I cannot see the border of this red line
How much this spine will be bend
This time upon the gallows, to dust

Let me slip away from here
Kissed by the falling leaves
Of a cold and hoped fall
Blessed by the relief of wind
All my pains, all my regrets
This black smoke, sovereign
What has long darkened sky
Covering the Sun with the bane
As I have been waiting
For so long, in my brain
Inside these ruins of thoughts
The cold stone in the rain
The sweet and cold mouth of a fragile wish
I dreamed of those white and soft snowflakes
So many times, so long, I have waited for them
As such a small thing can melt the stone
Let me slip away from here
Kissed by the falling leaves
Of a cold and hoped fall
Blessed by the relief of wind
I dreamed of You so many times
These secrets, all My pains
I've always try to combine these lines
All these regrets, in My veins
I tried to find between crimes
The truth sweats, the right lanes
Closed in mind, darkness confines
This weakness cruelly strains
The sweet and cold mouth of a fragile wish
I dreamed of those white and soft snowflakes
So many times, so long, I have waited for them
As such a small thing can melt the stone
The desire to get out of this womb
The cradle of the death of My dream
Sleepless, My weakness makes Me numb
Seedless, My world becomes infertile
Rise up, My son
As the morning Sun

The stones will sing of Our adventure
The wind will whisper the words of Our song
Trees will be the only witnesses to Our secrets
The waves of the ocean will guide Our dream to new lands
All those shades of color
Of the old past life reappear
In the forbidden woods of the dreams
Of the innocent wounded child
Lost in the woods of the lovers
Circumscribe Our beloved land
One last kiss before leaving
For the infinite journey
If only there was a limit in this life
I would find it in the wounds of My heart
So, I would travel into the dark
To find the colors that give lifes to the stars
I would like to see a faint and far light
That guide Me through this infinite dark
Show Me The right way that leads to the white
Show Me the way to break this mark
Don't matter for Me how many times
How many spells, how many crimes
Remember what You've been everyday
Every moment You'll be so down
Living to forget all the past things
All the wrong themes, Your energies without
A second place is better than nothing
A second time the life's goes on
Smiles behind printable masks
The shining lights are just holograms
A second place is better than nothing
A second time this life's goes on
This distance gives noises in My head
This distance builds monsters under skin
I would like to see a faint and far light
That guide Me through this infinite dark
Show Me The right way that leads to the white
Show Me the way to break this mark
Will to have the courage to look at the past
Just to understand where and when I was wrong
And then learn to love again all that remains
And then build a new shelter to live in peace

Vehemence

I have reached the lowest peak of darkness
I was enveloped in the terrifying truth of life
I have seen through the veil of lies and deception
I have known the edge of the gorge of the ignorance
Digging in the mud of shame
You never know what You can find inside
Hoping not to hurt Your hands
With the blade of infamy knive
Suppressing any advice
From Those who hind the healing
Of the mind and of the heart
And then the soul that welcomes the spirit
Do not lose control
Remember Your promise
Do not leave the grasp
Of the kind hand
Who can save You
Cannot force You
Make Your choice
And do not lose Yourself
Once for My life
Once for My dream
Once for My spirit
Once for My soul
All for a lie
All for a fault
I can't feel it in My heart
I can't stop this sorrow
The past continues every day
To corrode Your wounds with vehemence
Memories become nightmares
In the dark night of loss and pain
The future terrifies You
You see nothing but traps and dangers
But You once knew
That Who protects You does not forget
Do not lose control
Remember Your promise
Do not leave the grasp
Of the kind hand
Who can save You
Cannot force You
Make Your choice
And do not lose Yourself
Once for My life
Once for My dream
Once for My spirit
Once for My soul
All for a lie
All for a fault
I can't feel it in My heart
I can't stop this sorrow
I have reached the lowest peak of darkness
I was enveloped in the terrifying truth of life
I have seen through the veil of lies and deception
I have known the edge of the gorge of ignorance

You've been so many years wandering
Around the world with Your sweet feeling
With the art of discovery, marveling
The dream of the sweet child, starveling
Never forget that fragile promise
By now You're no longer a novice
Do not stay hidden in the shadow
Do not let it be, because love froze
Every beat has a note
Every tear has a word
Every wound has a name
Every scar has a frame
These are the only words that count
In the silence where We're bound
The others are just air and sound
In the darkness where We've found
When I saw You the last time walking
It almost seemed like You were flying
And that all Your thoughts were crawling
Through each of Your soft steps, slowing
As if You did even touch the ceiling
I don't know it was smoke or You were freezing
I could not tell if You were smiling
I should have asked, I was embarrassing
Every beat has a note
Every tear has a word
Every wound has a name
Every scar has a frame
These are the only words that count
In the silence where We're bound
The others are just air and sound
In the darkness where We've found
Embrace the cold shade of white
The surrounding snow of winter
The winter that reigns in My heart
The heart of the dreamer of loss
Lost in the deepest cave
Where the senses fade away
If You want to look inside
Know that You can lose Yourself

Hopelessness

The strings of the chaos of pain
They crush every hope of mine
They make me blind and weak
Imprisoned in the absence
Left alone to starve
Left alone to crawl
No strength to move
No courage to think
Do You think I've never tried to free myself?
But every time I send these thoughts away
They come back every time to haunt Me
And they strike Me until I faint with pain
Tell Me that I am coward and weak
Tell Me that I can never ever do it
I hear the same song from all my life
I no longer see any color in a lie
Let Me love at least this time
Sometimes I'm afraid to become blind
After all this time lost in the dark
I remember the notes of a past life
I remember the sound of the young laugh
But it seems like an infinite sea
Where no wave caresses My sweet heart
Emotions where I cannot swim
Cold and dark waters that scare Me
Let Me love at least this time
I will never let Myself be buried again
From the limits and the curses of life
I will light the dark that holds Me here
I will defeat the Death's crown
I will never let Myself be imprisoned
From the rusty chains of hopelessness
I will light the dark that holds Me here
I will defeat the Death's crown
