Assenzio (feat. Fedez, Stash & Levante)

A story, an ascent
A road, a pencil
A microphone, a tight grip with blood between the fingers
May God damn us
I feel his footprints of a carved cross
With boiling oil on the forehead

A bastard soul, a blind conviction
A refuge, a look, a search for attention
Balancing between deep hatred and redemption
I chose the blessedness of eternal damnation

Hey, you know I've wasted too much time
Who knows if you've found it
Some say marked, some say stained
Indelible, there's only a marked destiny
You sought comfort in a twisted man
But fate is mocking and breath is already short
There's no cure for us, no medicine
If I feel lonely when you're close

Conscience dry-cleaned, a cold blood shower
I'm so lost that I can't find myself anymore
Nothing happens out of nowhere, I'm sure
My ambition has far exceeded my talent

If all evil could be erased, I'd drink it like absinthe
Tonight
And how many times I wanted to scream but stayed silent
Thinking about the things I've lost
Imagining it could be different
I haven't looked at myself in the mirror for months
I suspect that behind the reflection
There's the mask they put on me

Hey, like an alien trying to get back home
I aim for the stars and I'm halfway there
As a child, I was happy when it snowed
Now it just blocks traffic, ruins the day
In the midst of a crowd of voices cheering
Having a radar and only hearing the lonely one that defames
Fame has no use or importance
When you see the one you love leaving in an ambulance

So I apologized to heaven for my whole life
While the nurse inserted tubes into her arms
I prayed to God: Take the money, my bike, and my career
But don't take away my girlfriend
And in a single moment truly understand what matters
Realize early on that no one lives forever
How many Sundays at home hungover instead of visiting grandma
Now I miss the sweet life, bitterly regret it, because
When you run to win, you don't see what you lose
Your mom calls at the office, you answer quickly and nervously
Between those who are too ahead and those who arrive late, no one is on time anyway
I want to cut the rope more than I want to reach the finish line

If all evil could be erased, I'd drink it like absinthe
Tonight
And how many times I wanted to scream but stayed silent
Thinking about the things I've lost
Imagining it could be different
I haven't looked at myself in the mirror for months
I suspect that behind the reflection
There's the mask they put on me

Lighter than ashes
We fly away if the wind blows strong
More precious than a diamond
Becoming light when it's night outside
I become light if it's night outside
