we're living difficult times
we're beyond this horizon
dreaming of great escapes
by running around in circles
but i'll get used to flaws
'cos grief has no more chances
to change the way i feel
who knows where hope can be
i'm talking to myself
and shouting out at you
but i can't understand
what am i going to do
you take a worried look back
to what you've left behind
you feel a thousand beats per minute
and there's nothing else to find
i'll never reach the time
that almost ran away
learn from experience
there are no words to say
i have no more control
on anything i care
i've closed my input channels
to be myself forever
it's strange you've got the power
to make your own free choices
collecting endless failures
collecting blaming voices
this anger comes sometimes
to guide us slowly out
to recreate some passion
to recreate old situations
we're living difficult times
we're beyond this horizon
dreaming of great escapes
by running around in circles
but now the time is up
and there's no place to hide
for every yin a yang
for every word a lie

that soft emotion lies beneath the deepest distance
a warm reflection shines in a word you say the same
a faint desire rises and teaches you to lie
this easy war between us starting over and again
i'm waiting for the dawn chasing promises for you
the breeze of deadly nights saturate my voice with ice
awakening delights are making up eternities
i'm just a light that travels back in time to follow you
i'll keep on flying
i'll keep on running down
i'll keep on fighting
with this rage and with this pride
a fire inside of me
a fire to light me up
a fire that blinds me
and scars me deep inside
synthetic ecstasy slow-motion faces stare
this useless everything wanders through my seamless mind
this pain means nothing more i've cut the wires forever
but you just put your fingers through my air and breathe again

before leaving this ghost landscape
cleaning my cold skin from steel
i hear neverending whispers
pushing blood between my fear
my tongue's licking mortal flavours
in a cathode universe
burning years of wasted silence
wired within the main machine
feel the breeze that never came
and quickly passed away those dreams
in the old times life was foolish
in the same old way to be
sadly think about the fingers
touching flesh and feeding hearts
disconnect the memories before
they start to set me free
taste the fear of falling down
flying through the darkened wires
soft misunderstanding martyr
bleeding inside and away
it invades me doesn't break me
it is burning without hurting
it is safe it's not an option
as it turns me into flames
oh it scares me doesn't kill me
keeping track of every move
i am taking frozen trust away
just facing it alone
is it something more than ice
if it blows away my fingers
belief dripping down the stairs
while my hunger breeds forgiveness
moody doubt remain in childhood
plotting sweet and wicked vengeances
everything is really different from
what i thought it was before

watch the sky
there is no sun nor fire to blind me
there's only pain
and there's no need to fight
no need to fight
my past - my life
those days are lost in time
and now there's nothing
still nothing i can save
cos' everything have stayed the same
for such a long time
and i'm still here in front of you
i only want to shout
i cannot leave but i can't stay
i know you often felt the same
i'm breathing dust and bleeding rust
we're running out of time
i cannot leave but i can't stay
so tell me what to feel again
how can i sense your heartbeat
if everything has gone?
i cross the door
where clouds of silk embraced me
you call for memories
i can't believe your eyes
because it's hard to let your words
retouch the details
recalling pains i know you missed
and time won't wash away

every time i stop and think
about these nonsense intentions
i feel there's no more to take
and there's no time to disagree
i'm unable to believe you
losing hold on burning scars
if i'm falling down from here
i end my life into your arms
can't run away and find myself again
in this useless silent room
staring at this silent truth
i find myself inside this prison
why are you hurting me?
there is no reason
every time i try not to feel
that uncertain kind of sadness
you get into my own worries
hitting me with some more lies
and i'm smiling at you falling
losing hold on burning scars
fake and naked, blind and helpless
only coldness in my heart

you can see the lies within her face
you can see the silence when she stands and watch you cry
childhood ended when you felt the fingers on your skin
her nails were like a blade
her words like falling to decay
felt your body disappearing
rendering your dreams
open up your eyes:
she's really here though you can't see
you think about her precious smile
and feel the leather on her skin
your skin against her bloody mask
innocence is lost forever
you dream about her shining eyes
and bleeding fingers and her body
going on your lips are sealed
so your mouth won't scream again
i'm encoding shapes to make illusions of my soul
everytime you breathe equals to many years i lose
screams are burning down and tears are dripping on the floor
where deeper dust and spiders make me wanting a lot more

it's moving in the light
like a candle melting on this marble
ice turns into fire
so quickly
becoming oceans
of rainy memories
painless but simply framed
eyes inside some dirty wall
you turn your face away
to end this awful play
i'm here and it is now
alone - i don't know how
you turn your face away
to hide the bad things with a sweeter veil
though they're still below
with added shame and something more
i'm still breathing hard
we've got so much to lose
i'll only hear your voice
after you're gone away
i really cannot move
don't need another night here
you know we'll never learn to wait
we'll never learn to whisper
stop - your truth
words sinking in the water
eyes reflecting steel
i'm drowning
souls are running
images too extreme
late embraces to forgive
now do the same
be real

there is no reason to deny what's true
there isn't anything to change my point of view
don't say it even if it's so clear to see
now everything has changed inside
deep into me
inside a beat is changing
it's gaining speed and heat
it's forcing me to bleed
it's giving me the creeps
give me correct information
i've nothing left to do with this mistake
and now it's too late
your endless beauty is dragging me
down to taste betrayal
keeping me from healing wounds
what's the use of talking
there's a million blades across my chest
there's high voltage in my veins
everything is burning down
to flames
please save me from the future
from the same mistakes
this nothing turns to passion
i still have moments to share
it's time that keeps you caged
impossible to change the way it seems
so badly wrong
there is no reason to be back again
there is an abstract of my previous shows
this time it's not a loop
i wish it was but in the end the truth is one
you are what you deserve

break me up completely
make your eyes become my sky
tie me down and sweetly
face the maze inside this trap
overburning deeper face
overwhelming coded prey
guide the void in common lies
absence will contaminate my choice
show me distant surfaces
bible pages like a spider
crawling on my skin
walking through the space i trace
what did you say?
why do you care?
what if I stay - until it's late?
so here i stand
kick me if you like
and face me one more time
so here i stand
i want to rise and shine
i want to make you mine
don't cross the line
fading desperately
quickly hiding from the light
coldness falling thunder
am i still alive?

it's useless to try again, i have no choices
and i've thought a lot
but i left questions in the shadows of my fear
i know i never tried to shine
was i lying? i just don't know.
but something has to move
inside of me there is just blood.
i've got nothing left in hand
memories are just wrecked blanks
of everything you ever told me
or anything we shared
i've got nothing left in hand
memories are just wrecked blanks
and every reason to remember
just fades away
i want changes
i don't know why should i still ask for more
but something has to move
so what happened all these years until tonight
is there really something more?
i can think about it. but i can't say it
not today and not tonight
afraid of you going out of sight
