"I've got so much left to say",that's what they'll carve on my grave
and there's nothing I can do,I'm just trying to get away
in a box of hopeful wine,a cheap one
'cause I've never been the kind of guy who spends so much to face his bust
I'm writing songs about a change wondering if I need to fade
I should buy a better boat and sail for days
but the storm is by my side,next to me
I won't raise that old anchor,I've got no more guts to fight the pain
I once woke up with a bane,I felt like a riddle with no key
I drank a lot and met a friend,she tried to ease my own decay
we talked together for a while,it meant much
it was some kind of confession,like when I said to her:
"There's something that will always make me blue
and I often cry without a reason too
I'm not even worried about having a job
'cause it'll suck my life even if I'm in a bud
I'm just looking for a place where I can bloom
but there's no more green,this is my fucking doom
and you know it's hard to wear an old ruined mask
I can't figure out why am I so upset
now I'm shaking like a fly inside a glass
'cause I need someone to love and be my friend
and I'm not so fine unless I've got some drugs
I'm drinking the whole day without giving a fuck
and I bet that soon I'll be part of the ground
I'm asking God what is this all about"
You know that I'm not so strong
you know,we're not so strong
and we'll never be
