Hey!
Those things that you said they still resonate
After all this time are you still proud of me?
That heart covered in bruises that i showed you once
How was i supposed to deal with this?
You said that i shouldn't be afraid, now i see the sky
In these days of spring. I'm breathing again
And this day is bright and your words still resonate
Even if you never noticed me i was there
I was there

I knew we made mistakes
Even so you were there
Smoking in your car
Looking the trucks pass by
You gave me back that book
And then you said goodbye
I didn't care back then
I was so full of shit
Time stopped for a while
In that parking lot
As you ran away from me
How have you been?
I think i'm still the same
And i still have that book
Never read it anyway
If you want it it's yours
I saw you from afar
Driving to pick me up
So please take me home
Cause I'm way too drunk
And i lost balance
Too many years ago
As i put my hand on your knee
I look through the window and i see
All the flowers that are born from your scars

From my window i can see the bar in saint faith street
Do you remember the music they played and that old pinball machine
Whatever happened in '96 it is buried in years of distress
So let me close the curtains the same way i close my wounds
We'll write that song we talked about, the one that was meant to save us
We already had the first line, remember? "your name tattooed in my lungs cause you are the air i breathe"
Will i see you again tomorrow? Will i see your light hands holding the glass? Will i see your beautiful red lips draining the blood out of me?
I wonder where you've been and i wonder what you’ve seen cause you got lost on your way home

This time it will be better
I haven't seen the monster in a while
I spent nights with my eyes wide open
And I know I was not the only one
What you see when you watch the lights?
Do you see my roots sink in here?
This is where I belong
As much as I hate this place
But I still scream your name in my sleep
And I see your face in my dreams
I wake up and forget you again
So I write these useless lines
I forgot it all again
I'll never sleep again
It’s too loud in here
Just give me a few moments to rest
Because I’m too tired of this
And I don’t want to fail again
Will it ever be different
Or will I forever be awake?
The shadows that now live in my head
Are the whispers I crack through your ears
These are the dreams I dream
I'm not the person I wanted to be
And I'm too afraid to admit this
But it seems like the monster is me
I've seen it all again
I'll never feel again
I forgot it all again
I'll never sleep again

Will you come with me tonight?
You can show me your wounds and scars
Nothing that a shot cannot fix
At least for a while
We can laugh at our fears
Running this downhill road
Where will it take us?
Where will it take us if we walk the line?
You take the gun and pull the trigger
That bullet is too fast for me tho
But that's not one of my fears
It already hit me a thousand times
Somehow this doesn't feel right
This rain, I'm soaked, this rain, I'm soaked
Somehow this does make me laugh
And i run. And i run. And i run. And i run
And i thought those voices were you
And i thought you were coming with me
But i was all alone again
Drunk and alone, drunk and alone
And i thought you'd take my hand
And guide my eyes through this dark
But i saw nothing and felt nothing
All that love we had, the love we had
Will the sun come to see us?
You've always been the summer
My summer, my shelter, my love
Come with me, come with me
Somehow this does feel right
The pain i kill everyday
Somehow this makes me cry
And i run. And i run. And i run. And i run

I can't think straight but I need to write this down
To scape from myself and from the things I am
I scream and break my voice to tell you that my love
Is not made of rose petals but from its thorns
I've always been exposed for everyone to see
I can be anyone tho if you applaud me
I pretend I feel complete. I barely know anything
Too scared to be me but anxious to be seen
And I want to write just some words to feel safe
And pay the price to feel ok one more day
But you won't read none of these words
So I'll burn all the letters to feed from the ashes and move on

Your name

I wrote your name
I wrote your name
I did dream of you
Your hair and green eyes
And you were pretty
The most beautiful thing
You smiled at me
And we danced. Oh! And we danced
You were supposed to be here
And now I wanna be there/dead
In case I get to know you
I wrote your name in my skin
So I won’t forget you
You took my smile
And left nothing but grief
You ever loved me?
Did you ever love me at all?
You are supposed to be here
And I'm supposed to be there/dead
I will never know you
I wrote your name
I wrote your name
I swear I did
I swear I did
