The secrets of youth
hidden in choices
Their official use
is inspiring promises
And time after time
this weight isn't mine
I crash on formalities
Definite stares
mercurial loyalty
I'm oozing with lust
fear and uncertainty
And time after time
I'll wait till you're mine
till you frame my liberties
Losing my touch
of formidability
Submerging again
in fortified infantry
And time after time
in action and mind
I'll dissolve inside of me

Throw the ornamental burdens that you wear
keep the things that you forget in your despair
Paper bridges that you walked
thin white lines drawn with chalk
and this stench of treason in the air
There are functions that I still have to admire
the impossible arrangements of your life
All the gestures and the steps
that will lead you to regret
that you stayed with me another day
Hear me calling at you
it's the hyacinth rule
Does it sound like my voice
or does it sound like you?
Terrify me once more with your smile
make me look like someone else just for a while
If we try to make it straight
then the news will circulate
and we'll never see the light of day again
Hear me calling at you
it's the hyacinth rule
Does it sound like my voice
or does it sound like you?

Your skin gets soft in the springtime
Your alphabet gets smaller
Your eyes look bigger and bigger
You're tuned into your reflection
Your sung numerical landscapes
will lash out on some frozen shore
Your babies unborn in the summertime
A lesson still unlearned
Receiving nothing
Deciding nothing more
A slow and cunning killer
His eyes are fiery cones
He climbs up your room in the nighttime
His knife is new and honed
Deceiving no one
Describing nothing more

Taste on my flesh while you can
I'm your invisible friend
Waiting for years to understand you will fall
Feverish eyes on a raid
always bold and unafraid
Making my best to estimate your control
Kiss me like you never have
It's me who opened this thread
Tracing your steps to overcome your support

I am accused of total ignorance
I am amused by its deliverance
Fearless and strong I claim my innocence
I am a statue of blind obedience
Frozen and alone, in time and always tangible
Just a minimum supply is impossible
This colony of self-promoting fleas
stitched on my mind feel like a second skin
Master of this troubled mind, sound and credible
Will the war last long? guess it's just possible

-Sister of hope
where did you go?
-I had my time
wondrous time
oh well, you know...
Sitting inside
watching the tide
and sucking my thumb
-Sister of hope
you, marvelous joke
Did I annoy you
maybe when I told you
we're born alone?
-Despite my head
I understand
What you did to me
shines right through me
I wanted you dead

I'm into you
It's all the same and all the same
I've seen this through
It never waits, it never waits
It's all the same
I want to lose
that awful shame, but I am the same
There's always two that play this game
and take the blame
It's all the same
For the names oh the ones they're calling us
are the ones that our bones can stand
Terror and fear won't get you anyway
Certain emotions can't ruin your day
Blind dedication and instant regret
Different authorities that you forget
Fools rush in
As it's always been
Seven days a week
I pretend
I feel the ambition in everybody else
It's just a matter of exquisite taste
Come in my room and make this your fault
I have been always afraid of your thoughts
Fools rush in
As it's always been
Seven days a week
I pretend I feel
In a house of burning coals
I tried to strike a pose
For the names oh the ones they're calling us
are the ones that our bones can stand

If I could see the light that burns me through
I would have turned it off because of you
And every sleepless night that passes by
I would have understood your every lie
The stars appalling (what are you waiting for?)
The music bores me (to even up the score?)
You take me in your arms just like a child
and you control me with a heartfelt eye
The loving that we share is like a fire
it burns the world and both of us inside
The sky is falling (exploding from your core)
The earth is longing (wait till you see some more)
And you're the one I was waiting for
