Il Posto Dei Santi

I’ve even licked the salt from my eyes
To feel you stronger than the rest
I’ve hidden the creases
Of our pillow so you won’t get bored
I’ve stolen the scent from my senses
I felt you lying with your nose
I’ve held tight between my teeth

The breath to keep my struggles unknown
I’ve heard the noise of the sky growing bigger every day
I’ve copied the racket they make
Even the trees when life gets heavy
I’ve swallowed the sea’s sweat
Wearing the gray clouds
I’ve realized that everything belongs to the rest that’s missing, not just if it exists

Living isn’t enough if
There’s no distance that keeps you from wanting
To lose yourself, then find your way back
It’s not dividing,
We’re substance that can’t disappear

I’ve torn the wings from dreams
To fall every time on rooftops
I’d rather stay with the cats in a world that you’ll return to anyway
And you realize that what you feel
Has roots in the place of saints
But translated into the actions of man
Who messes up every time, we end up losing
I’ve imitated the new seasons

To change the skin of the day
I’ve covered every single part of my body with petals and flowers
I’ve called the saints by name
Too comfortable, too distant
I’ve convinced them to fear those who pretend to be powerful

Living isn’t enough if
There’s no distance that keeps you from wanting
To lose yourself, then find your way back
It’s not dividing,
We’re substance that can’t disappear
Living isn’t enough if
There’s no dance that convinces you that you can fly
Free without locking yourself up
And finally surrendering to this room that doesn’t know how to sleep

I just realized now
That this winter has no eyes
Only wind passes through the eyes
And takes away with it the regret
Of a sky that hasn’t gone out
Deceive me that now I can

Live, yeah
Live, yeah
Living isn’t enough if
There’s no dance that convinces you that you can fly
Free without locking yourself up
And finally surrendering to this room that doesn’t know how to sleep
To this room that doesn’t know how to sleep
In this room that doesn’t know how to sleep
We’re substance that can’t disappear
Can’t disappear
You can’t disappear

If I keep you here, test it
Take the soul
Keep it in a place you know,
Sometimes you’ve even brought her along, and her too
You’ve never let her go
Discover the soul
Under the shell of everything
Look for her
She hides from people, that’s her, that’s her
She no longer knows the calm
If you like it here
It’s not a nice place

I’ll know how to protect you at every moment, at any cost
Even if I have to tear apart
A good one, the world, and everything else
You’re safe, believe me,
Only if I keep you here
Ah ah ah ah
Lick the soul
It tastes like the ocean and rust
It knows how to die without being noticed
And doesn’t realize it then drowns in the calm
If I keep you here,

In the right spot
Between the stomach and the throat
Where the chest beats strong
There’s an army of souls always ready for anything
Just to defend you
You’re safe, believe me,
Only if I keep you here
And the calm returns
The soul calms, the wind, and everything returns in a moment
To occupy the right place

In the end, every torment is paid
Here in the soul like this
If I keep you here
The calm returns
If I keep you here
In the soul like this
If I keep you here
The calm returns
