Sham of Perfection

I know a man who now opens his filled eyes and everyday it is his first embrace The first embrace of life, the first embrace after dark. He saw much more than me, than you. So shall we live together and divided at the same time And all I know this grave will be our home from now forever. All days are nights to see till I see thee and nights Bright days when you show me in a dream. Our first embrace of life, our first embrace after dark... as if we were hastened to the end. So shall we live together and divided at the same time And all I know this grave will be our home from now forever. Now there's nothing to be told... at the end of our days Don't let go... another breath My last nights were hard to face, when you were not with me Shadows left me with no peace, but now I wanna rule them No more falseness... you talk senseless No more future... I don't... fear You've the power to hurt me, with all your disillusion Come with me and we will find, our first embrace again Don't you remember when I fought against my name and my pride So you were making a fool of me Don't you remember that I said that I was living for You and for that I will return Don't you remember when I turned back on my right own tracks But you were making a fool of me You don't forget that I gave up my name and my home I did not forget... So shall we live together and divided at the same time And all I know this grave will be our home from now forever All days are nights to see till I see thee and nights Bright days when you show me in a dream. I know that all this world or someone who creeps in the dark Has his role in our burial place. I want to open my, my filled eyes and now I want to live our first embrace again Shadows left me with no peace Now I close my eyes and pray My last nights were hard to face, when you were not with me Shadows left me with no peace, but now I wanna rule them For the one who ruined our first embrace again You've the power to hurt me, with all your disillusion Come with me and we will find, our first embrace again I want to fight for us again Here in my grave... All of my world has been buried with me, please take my hand, come with me We'll walk together in eternity, now and forever you and me.

I'm still here among these walls, I'm set apart in my jail I feel like kept in the dark Hey you please give me a help I ask you only a cigarette, why don't you Give me a sign? I'm the lord, the lord for you, I'm the devil in the mirror, are you afraid... Afraid of me? I really swear to tell the truth, the ache here in my brain is the worst that I've ever felt When I will be all alone at the bedside of Death I'll tell true God that you have set me apart from the world You conspire against myself, why don't you realize that the Others Make fun of you? I'm here for your science, I'm glad for this But God sent me to you, You will help me This is my sick brain... it hurts I told you You are my jailers, fools! Oh my disciples save our hidden place We wait for tonight, live for the escape Wreck their lives as they did this to me We wait for tonight, live for your life They don't believe me, this pain's killing me (I have to go!) We wait for tonight, we'll set you free Oh my friends please save this brother When I will be all alone at the bedside of Death I'll tell true God that you have set me apart from the world This pain like cancer growing in my brain They will hang on my... lips Oh my disciples save our hidden place We wait for tonight, live for the escape Wreck their lives as they did this to me We wait for tonight, live for your life They don't believe me, this pain's killing me (I have to go!) We wait for tonight, we'll set you free Oh my friends please save this brother When I will be all alone at the bedside of Death I'll tell true God that you have set me apart from the world... shit!

This melody could be the story of us, These sounds recount pieces of our usual lives Differences join us in a dim canvas Clashes make us stronger But at the same time they weaken us. But when we're there it's as if our cores Become a single one, Tears and jokes, rage and thoughts Let's enter the people's depth This drama could be the melody of us Visionary view through our arms and minds But when we're there it's as if our cores Become a single one, Tears and jokes, rage and thoughts Let's enter the sightseer's heart As the paint in a gallery Touches deeply sightseer's heart Joy is everything skims over our wall Suffering and pain weaken us as far as going away But a gaze towards the sky where sun is wonder Where nothing becomes world, Where our light shines.

Inside we bleed, and search, for something that won't come Today is too far, realize that, don't try to forget We wait in silence, this distance take us far from real There, in my horizon, many empty spaces are Filled with my nothing Too many farewells of falseness Too many blows Many quarrels never had Waiting inside is the fight of our lives Too much of grudge and reward never lived You know that I've never had time, to leave behind me Everything I don't want Me, as nothing had been As words had not been I worked hard since here What I lived, I lived (it) for others I was saying and thinking not to have time for me in my prayers I was thinking of having built, But I've never built up myself Me, as nothing had been As words had not been I see in my horizon desire of sowing You know that I've never had time to leave behind me Everything I don't want I witness with my closed heart and hope to die that The ripper of my whole life is me and Metaphora of myself I witness with my honesty: there are my seeds And witness that I want to reappear again from me.

When the heaven falls down I gulp my sweet poison down and Withdraw myself into my hide Oh, I sip my roarin' defeat. If you'd see in your hands The blood flowing into thy darkness Washing away all your pains This time could build our today Scream, pain, against this world of gratifications But against me This hiding in the shade is burning up your soul And when you're reborn Your scars will show me your eyes Shy great unconsciousness of being carried me And no one's inclined to admit to me anything Since I won't find my way In which I'll meet desires My Hide in the shade will be the greatest part of me. When the heavens fall down I gulp my bitter poison down Withdraw myself into my hide Oh, I sip my roarin' defeat. When we run in the dark My blood is flowing into the darkness Washing the whole away Our hands could build our today. All I've been, all I've seen Is the plan of my foolish thoughts All I've been, all I've seen Is the foolish plan of my mind wrapped in thought All I've been, all I've seen Was created when I was buried in my "rat-race" All I've been, all I've seen The night seems so distant and my poison Gives the suspense to my days All I've been, all I've seen The light seems so distant but my poison Gives the suspense to my days All I've been, all I've seen The night seems so distant and my poison Gives suspense... all I've been.

If the dull substance of my flesh were thought Injurious distance should not stop my way For then despite of space, I would be brought From limits far remote where thou dost stay Not so far, mine eye and heart are at a mortal war How to divide the conquest of your irresistible sight When you are here with your poetry. But ah! Thought kills me that I'm not thought To leap large lengths of miles when you are gone These are our sacrifices, roses have thorns and silver fountains mud But that, so much of earth and water wrought I must attend time's leisure with my moan Let me confess that we two... we must be twain! Rise with your stateliness, dream of us with open eye Like waves make towards the shore Our minutes hasten to their end Not so far, mine eye and heart are at a mortal war How to divide the conquest of your irresistible sight When you are here in your person. But ah! Thought kills me that I'm not thought To leap large lengths of miles when you are gone These are our sacrifices, roses have thorns and silver fountains mud But that, so much of earth and water wrought I must attend time's leisure with my moan These are our sacrifices... Mine are heavy tears, mine is the grief of having you So shall I compare you to a summer's day? No, You are more lovely and more temperate Within the distance my mind dives in yours Who will believe my verse in time to come If it were filled with your most high deserts, and with my love? So long as eyes can see So long live these lines, these give life to thee.

What I see with my eyes A crimson light that strokes my body I feel the king of my world All is mine my warriors screaming my name I'm the queen of my empire All my words are law Reflecting my face on their shields But suddenly the dark... A blue light shines near me The mirror twists my face Tears are running down my sad face So I wonder where my world is gone now Fears are running down my sad soul So I wonder where my world is gone now I faint into this force I wake up too far from the light and my terror brings me That place where I've been before, it was created by my twisted mind I realize I don't own anything of my world, a cruel joke What I've seen with my eyes It completely turns to sand and now What I want from you is silence So this stone will be the one to remain I wonder where my world is gone I faint into this force Rise, beyond the sky, and sit to arise the deeps in my mind Rise, beyond the sky, and sit to arise the deeps in my mind, I burn my Crying, scream to the eyes that look at my row, we're dying everyday in this war I wake up too far from the light and my terror brings me I'm the warrior in a battle of another world I realize that my name is on their mouth, On you I know that I'm the queen and king of my world Now I wonder and ask the reasons why Do I have to leave my armour on my path & This is me.

When you dream a lot it happens that reality becomes confused with fantasy and while you're saying "do not believe it's all like that all is different from how you imagine it" your heart howls a weeping of pain 'cause it knows that will never exist a reality wonderful like a dream, will not ever & exist! When the obsession takes you Every night I try the spell of my rhyme Hemmed in by void, collapsing the day Vanishing in the delicious state of mania Desire of accepting this living world but we can't Giddying me 'cause of the pointed thoughts in my brain Open the dream's eyes and only dive in An overture of what expects me in a dream Soil, ink, ills, stroke the hatred of tomorrow Sky, white, health, lies... of tomorrow Sun, death, dawn, stroke the hatred of tomorrow Moon, life, dusk, lies... of tomorrow A roving in my brain, ending with the cleaning sunrise A roving in my brain... ...Sham of perfection I live with echoes' filters 'cause this world is not enough for me now.

I want to push my life so strong But now I am so tired I wanna cry and fight at the same time I wanna win and loosen my grip But what do I really want? I would like to do the whole I decide to do. I live between deceits and echoes of my faith I want to disappoint no one with my escape You have always to be in strain with all To never crumble down in my pain Without ever saying "I can't" I wanna cry and fight at the same time I am only a child that poses as a warrior And the armour again has overwhelmed me I have always to be in strain With all and everyone without Give me a rest or respite To never crumble down I can't see my way in This labyrinthic game of Opposite forces but I Have always to be in strain with Myself, my friends, the ones who trust in me but All I can now is wriggle And I live between deceits now I can't breath, I can't stand up, no one will pick up me 'cause they know I'm too proud and I want to scrape through by myself now I can't breath, I can't stand up, no one will pick up me 'cause they know I'm too proud and I want to scrape through by myself now I am only a child that poses as a warrior And the armour again has overwhelmed me I live between deceits and echoes of my faith I want to disappoint no one with my escape You have always to be in strain with all To never crumble down in my pain Without ever saying "I can't" Without the bitter words "I cannot"
