I can't control the breath or my heartbeats anymore.
I can't find any emotion, My life rolls grey.
I can't find reasons
To pick myself up
I collect disasters
To feel alive
and i think today will be worse
Chances restricted to what sorrouds me
and nobody understands it s meaning
This miserable existance rolls away
Nobody takes the eyes off the screen.
You are just a bit player
I'll search for something
That will leave me breathless

Illusion

Another day, another crash.
My heart skipped a bit.
The allarm bell rings.
The weight is dragging me down
I saved my ass, so many times
telling of being against you,
but when the showdown comes you ask yourself
"what i was fighting for?"
Swamped by people in uniform
i can't find my place.
The revolution is just an illusion
and old times barricades are just a memory.
and now there's nothing to hold on to they fall into the void
and the old riot boys spit in their faces and scream "traitor"

Absolution

|

I consume my liver with rage everyday
and i fill it with alcohol at night.
The hour hands fucking roll
like a scattered pencil stroke,
heavily, but it doesn't matter.
Is the life that eats the time
or the time eats all your life?
I can't care about someone
without a detachment,
without knowing this won't prevent
the constance and the strength
I can't undestand myself
but is 5 am and i don't give a damn

Please, explain me your reasons,
you have ideals and you go out bashing.
It doesn't matter about your hairstile,
you don't have a fucking brain.
I'm surrounded by people
who drink a couple of beer
and knows it all!
What do you know about ideologies?
You were born without a war
and you spend your time bashing people
at the stadium or at the shows.
Why should i stay by your side?
The sistem fuck us
while you roll in the mud
You make me itch at the shows.
You're my ticks, you're just ticks.
You don't do politics, you just suck!
You're just ticks!

Little more than a meter tall
you drive your truck and everybody loves you.
You've found a lovely girl
between your village and the city.
You want to be an adult
and the war is a game for the olders,
but in Niger it's fought amongst the children.
It's fought amongst the:
Sozaboy
The name the olders gave you.
The name that makes you proud.
But on the frontline there's only dust
and nobody's in your village anymore
but when you find your people
they look at you as a ghost,
and nobody wants to live with a ghost.
Especially when he's not dead.

Over

There goes the first light, and i suddenly stand up
it's the time when liberty is ending
it's the time when the choices run out
it s time to start the engine and turn off the fucking mind
the lame excuse of indipendence raises a false bitter smile (the game is over)
And don't think it's just a casualty
someone has to take the blame
if everyone now dies at dawn
And waking up dead weights even more
when you look yourself in the mirror
and yet there's still
A whole life in front of you to live

Abused
01:20
|
|

Feel hell at home, at school or at work
the hell of not having the strenght to reply the punches
you tried to tell it to your neighbors, you changed your lock
but when the night comes, you still have problem sleeping
how many more times you'll have to hear the punches on the door?
how many more times you'll be ignored by the ones areound your?
Jealousy, honor and all the other shit,
are just old myths for the ones who speak with fists
and there are too many stories that end up like these
and all the bruises disappear under make up or sunglasses
every year in italy, one woman out of three

Holocaust
01:16
|
|

|
Far from everything arguable or valuable.
Close to the routine and the boredom.
The excuses of who keeps feeding on a global holocaust
that crushes everyone but us.
The trains and the tyres that keep rolling
are the countdown for billions of lives!
Who gives you the right to choose life and death
for anybody else?
You're just kids playing with lens,
and when you leave burnt ground under your feet,
consuming meat makes you even dumber.
Can't you feel their sorrow?
Do you think they don't feel the pain?

Stomach

The twirl has begun
Everyone against everyone
The tv explodes on me
The opinions grows more and more
And in the meantime i keep staring at my glass
While like in a movie i fall in an endless barrell
Everything is a lie,
one election after another,
is a sunset boulevard in an old postcard.
Trapped inside a plastic box
And it doesn't matter how much it sucks
they're stucked there
and i'm stucked here in a town
thirsty as hell
To bear another day
another year
another life like this.

Away

You've been sick since forever.
You want puke out what you can't say
You've been pushed to many times
and you can't get of it
can't even fight for what you stand
if everything is ruined
thoughts sharpened like broken glass
that cut your ears and make them bleed
cut out of a world that's pushing you away
and spits right back at you.
Please stay the fuck away
Save the flame that sparkles inside you
Don't let the doubts rot you away
Burn inside by staying alive
Save you days, save you dreams
Don't waste your sleepless nights
Drown your doubts and let them die
