The Burnt Poem
In this invisible town
playing with shadows
I try to be
the rest is bitter
All my weaknesses
sing again once
feeling the sunrise close
We all don't tell
the same story
it's hard to understand
the truth of others
But I want to sing
the burnt poem
covering all the wounds
To empty beds, to the mother's tears
to the fleeting time that steals from us
to the heavy burdens, to the father's fears
to those we suffer for...
From childhood we hear
what we should be
imposing with force
what should be loved
But I want to sing
the burnt poem
covering all the wounds
To dear friends, to solitude
to each moment left lifeless
to those who were, to who we are today
to those who will be...
Tell me, love
that everything will change
that tomorrow you'll still be with me
and the ones to come
will never sing this song
rejecting the pain, saying love...
Say the laziness
I want to hear
say the friend
To the jokes,
to the bad news,
to all the friends we lost on the way,
I give everything from us,
to the wind of freedom, to you, wind,
to you, to you, to you, to you...
