The Winds

This is where we started

And where we'll always be

Your soul was bought and sold

Mine is a dark shadow 

of what it used to be

Everybody knows there's nothing

sacred in the heart of thieves

And love is its own reward

It bends all truths

And justifies all means

We betrayed ourselves

And were left on our own

We gave in to wanting

And our will was done

We're the unlucky ones 

Bound to spend forever

out of heaven fighting 

against the winds

This is who we are

And what we cannot deny

You may try to run and hide

But I look at our sins

Right in the eye

You throw away your armor

It falls in a pile at my feet 

At sighting of my raw will

This is who we are

Who we are meant to be

For a moment 

we close our eyes

And hold hands for the

thousandth last time

To feel the winds hawling

and blowing on our face

As we fall into the temptation

Of despair and disgrace

To the bottom of it there's

no relief, there's no redemption

And there will never be

Crash and Burn

We saw the world ending

When we tore it down on our own

You had a revelation in a bad hallucination

And I was thirsty for blood for too long

Something new began

When we declared love and war

In a lawless land, hearts in our hands

In front of blind witnesses

We woke up to the light of day

To see dreams can stale very fast

And made a fool of ourselves

Now there's nothing left to betray

But we'll never confess

who did it first

Over and over 

No hearts left unbroken

No secrets left unspoken

And we can't turn back time

See me losing you losing me

As you're chasing me for

the darkest corners of my mind

We lost it all, we lost the fight

And took what little we deserved

It was all or nothing

It was crash and burn

We knew what we've done

And we'll never know if it was right

Standing on ground zero, no saint, no hero

Just broken, looking each other in the eye

Destroy something beautiful

Tell me to fuck off like it's your salvation

Bargain the truth as if it's yours to lose

And there's nothing you can do

I know we both lost something

And it's too far gone to get back

But I'm not the reason or a reflex

Of your bad luck and unhappiness

Or why you might never find 

what you're looking for

Over and over 

No hearts left unbroken

No secrets left unspoken

And we can't turn back time

See me losing you losing me

As you're chasing me for

the darkest corners of my mind

Lost in a maze, fading in a shade

Until it turns into a blur

It was all or nothing

It was crash and burn

Look over your shoulder

And see nothing is the same

Dishonor what you crave and

Place a white rose on the grave

Don't bother including me in

bad jokes or fishy stories

Don't mourn when there's

nothing left to mourn

it was crush and burn

Omertà

You saw me coming

As you always do

Clumsy conversations

One-sided negotiations

Waiting for me to say

everything you want me to

Blackmails and dirty talk

This world is too small

When we're waging war

Saying prayers without flinching

Acting and reacting on instinct

You've committed some sins 

but I'm an atheist

Feel my love hot as a knife

held really tight on your neck

Bringing us right back to life

Trapping us in little deaths

Hold your breath, close your eyes

I never said it, you never heard it

This is our omerta

I got you right where

I wanted you the most

Cursing heaven and hell

Me, us and yourself

For how we always turn out

When real traitor is hope

Anecdotes and sexy riddles

My love is a homing missile

No less ruthless or less lethal

This is the thief and the liar

Having fun playing with fire

Star crossed, crossed wires

And still entertwined

Let's get burned by the sun

Or drown in the open sea

Knowing it's not meant to be

Let's be unhappy together

Posting it'll last forever

Or 'til we go out for the weekend

Let's pray for our ghosts

And pray they'll stay dead

Right where they're left

Freedom

There's nothing I want most

Than to relearn time as my own

To see my faith reaching beyond

And unraveling in good will

I'm meant to relearn myself

In late thoughts of reinvention

Knowing them in full expansion

I crave a new heart to restart

My freedom is resolute

My freedom is absolute

Irreplaceable, non-negotiable

Insurmountable and unwavering

My freedom conquers all

My freedom breaks walls

It's not a dream I dare not dream

My freedom is everything

There's nothing I want most

Than the fullness of certainty

The mercy of understanding

That the best have been done

I'm meant to rediscover peace

And a brand new day to ascend

As I let go on all loose ends

Cause I don't have a choice

I didn't die when I thought I would

I could only go by the death I'd choose

My choice saved my life many times

I didn't clip my wings, didn't burn my ships

Made the best of what was made for me 

Never needed anyone to open my eyes

When I looked up to the sky

Spineless

Suffocate with your own hands

All of your death sworn love

Challenging my spirit and strength

So alluring you need to tear'em down

As if I'm something you can tame

With jesus christ and instagram

The devotion you learned to crave

As if it's yours by the taking

And the wish you'll never betray

Made you believe I'd be bound

to bow down and be a slave

In a land of lust and waste

You reach out to me

You love who I'll never be

And you'll never set me free

In your altar I'm faithless

In your heart I'm loveless

In your hands I'm spineless

Curse with your own words

The destiny you can't bend

Exorcizing my will and my hope

So amusing you need take'em down

As if I'm something you can love

through captions and ad posts

In your fantasy you thought

I would change my heart to yours

I'd give in to all what I'm not

So love could love me a bit more

Living and dying in it's misery

As if I'm grateful for it's mercy

Even the smallest sacrifice

It's too much to oblige

Yet you need part of my soul

Love could never redeem

There's nothing more to give

Nothing bought and sold

I'm Not Talking About You

The devil is in the details
In the breath you inhale

Your evasions of privacy

The devil is in your empty eyes

In your truth when you lie

In your false narrative

You forged the chase

You forged it with grace

And made it look good

Told the story once or twice

So natural, humble and nice

Wanting me to fake too 

Well, I could say

This is all a game

And it's all in vain

To expect the truth

I could say

You're the one to blame

And you can't complain

For being the one to lose

I could say all of these things

But I'm not talking about you

The devils is in the details

In caption letters on daily mail

When you try to save your neck

The devils is in your face

In the facade you display

As you wish you'd have me back

The mess you made

The false promise and heartbreak

Was it all you thought it would be?

The time you wasted

The hit and run, the sweet escape

Was it unfortunate or just destiny?

I could say that I already knew

But I'm not talking about you

Tarantula

I've made my peace and my war

My passions raises circles of hell

My sins have a life of their own

But I won't remained condemned

I rewrote the gospels on your backs

And profaned our holy ground

Thirsty, forsaken, mistaken

But I won't remained condemned

I'm not less hungry than you

I'm not less lethal, less feral

Less delirious in a revenge fantasy

Nothing will make this less severe

Until we fall on our bruised knees

Praying for all this to end

I won't remain condemned

I've shed my skin like a tarantula

I've told the truth through lies

Honored my threats of liberty

Broke free from every religion

But I won't remained condemned

Pity and fear are great companies

To dance with in boundless dark

As both the pain and the inflicter

I won't remained condemned

The venom or the medicine

Whatever I am got deep under

your skin

And I know you'll never be

the same and neither I am

I won't remain condemned
