Santa Desesperanza

I see you growing up
Where has the lost innocence gone?
This world will sanctify you
You're the proof of its own lie
There are nights that last longer than a lifetime
Every now and then I drop down to your private hell
To lick my wounds

Don't be so cruel
Give me a chance
Let's smoke a little
When I think just your gaze is enough for me
I'm wrong, I go crazy
In silence, I witness your executions daily
I'm your Trojan horse

Dance, dance in the street
Always waiting, dance
Holy despair
I never saw you cry

I lie to you, but it's true
I give you everything I have
Every morning I see you rise again
Stubbornly searching through your charms
For some excuse that can suffocate me
And I feel it brings you joy inside
Knowing that dreams take time to arrive
They always take time to arrive

They know you in every corner of the world
But no one really knows who you are
If I could see you shipwrecked
On a crazy ship
In the seas of oblivion!
