lyrics

Centoventi giorni che non vedo le mie lacrime
le ho buttate in un cassetto vuoto
nascoste come i denti di un bambino timido
perse dopo un pranzo in autostrada
Certe altre, invece, più che perderle
proprio non le ho avute mai
non si piange nelle feste di paese
per non deformare la realtà

Parlo piano per ferire a metà
Brucio quel che resta di me
Nel mio letto a bassa sismicità
aspetto che anche tu sia cenere

I silenzi sono armi dell'esercito di un re
che si sente solo e abbandonato
leoni alla finestra con lo sguardo fisso in su
chiedono altra carne da scaldare
E la scelta è tra rischiare i lividi
e non affacciarsi mai
Non si dorme col nemico sotto casa
i suoi fuochi accesi abbagliano
