Un Volto Un Nome

A Face, A Name
Today my thoughts are more than yesterday
They’re confusing and they have a face and a name
A face and a name.....
Here they are, the thoughts outnumbering those from yesterday
Today they have a face, a name, every night they’re with me before I sleep
Sweet dreams, I’ll have time to understand
The morning alarm hasn’t existed for a while
On the table, the ashes of incense remain
It’s a sad and lost day made of immense emptiness
All I ask is to live an intense moment
Without guilt for once at least
A missed train is a place I’ve seen less
Not even my closest friends I want
By my side if these days are unhappy
Because I know what can cause all this
This believing in something that’s never been seen
I let bitterness do the rest of the damage
I’m not aware of the passing years
I send prayers to the sky hoping it’s true
Hoping to forget every bad thought
Sure that from now on every promise will mean zero
Everything said seriously will have less value
But I’m not looking for words, I’m looking for warmth
I’m feeling down, my face doesn’t show color
Flying, flying, leaving everything and everyone behind
To say there’s no more time for talk
Paths I’ve taken have brought me here
I have no regrets for now, I’m just floating
What do you think when you hear these lines?
Either you don’t appreciate or you appreciate because they’re different
My lyrics are reflections
Of days like these without the compromises of youth
What would you say to staying like this forever
And having nothing to lose this virtue
Now I don’t have time for you because now I want to think only of me
Now I don’t have time for you because all the love that’s there I want for me (x2)
Now I want to think about how much there is to do to not drown, to not feel bad anymore
Now I don’t have time for you because all the love that’s there I want for me
And if you don’t like it, there’s the door
I don’t want to share my stash with you
I don’t care about your presence anymore
I know that starting tomorrow I can do without it
From every dependency, tomorrow I want to be free
And every obstacle, even the biggest, I’ll overcome
Now I know everything I have is gold
And I won’t leave until I’ve taken flight
Alone or with company, I’m looking for my path
Until the next stop, the next story
I ask nothing from my desert
I’m just waiting for the promises it made me that I’m sure of.
Now I don’t have time for you because now I want to think only of me
Now I don’t have time for you because all the love that’s there I want for me (x2)
