A story, an uphill climb
A road, a pencil
A microphone, a handshake with blood between our fingers
May God damn us
I feel the imprint of a carved cross
With boiling oil on my forehead
A bastard soul, a blind conviction
A refuge, a glance, a search for attention
Teetering between deep hate and redemption
I chose the bliss of eternal damnation
Hey you know I wasted too much time
Who knows if you’ve found it again
Some say branded, some say stained
The only indelible thing is a fixed fate
You looked for comfort in a twisted man
But fate is mocking and breath is already short
For us there’s no cure, no medicine
If I still feel lonely when you’re close to me
Conscience dry-cleans with an ice-cold shower of blood
I’m so lost I can’t find myself anymore
Nothing comes from nothing, I’m sure of it
My ambition has far outgrown my talent
If I could erase all evil I’d drink it like absinthe
Tonight
And so many times I wanted to scream
But I stayed silent
Thinking about the things I lost
Imagining it was different
I haven’t looked at myself in the mirror for months
It’s been a while I suspect that inside the reflection
There’s that mask they put on me
Like an alien trying to get home
I aim at the stars and I’m halfway there
As a kid I was happy when it snowed
Now it blocks traffic, ruins the day
In the middle of a crowd of cheering voices
Having a radar and hearing only that lonely one that slanders
Fame then has neither use nor weight
When you watch the one you love leave in an ambulance
So I said sorry to the sky
For my whole life
While the nurse stuck the tubes into her arms
And I prayed God take the money, my bike and my career
But don’t take my girl away
And in a single instant truly get what matters
Realize in time that nobody lives forever
When it’s Sunday at home hungover
Instead of going to visit grandma
Now I miss that sweet life
I bitterly regret it, because
When you run to win you don’t see what you lose
Your mom calls the office, you answer
In a rush and on edge
Between those way ahead and those who show up late
Anyway nobody’s on time
I wanna cut the rope more than I wanna cut the finish line
If I could erase all evil I’d drink it like absinthe
Tonight
And so many times I wanted to scream
But I stayed silent
Thinking about the things I lost
Imagining it was different
I haven’t looked at myself in the mirror for months
It’s been a while I suspect that inside the reflection
There’s that mask they put on me
Lighter than ash
We fly away if the wind blows strong
More precious than a diamond that
Turns into light when it’s night outside
I turn into light if it’s night outside
