La bocca della verita - The mouth of truth
it seems like yesterday
but it was long ago
I was young and strong...
god, was i strong and young!
and you
you, so much older
and dry cynical to your bones
messing around with my "childish world"
too busy trying to tear it apart
so you could then break me,
the world confined to your shoes
always struggling to make me your mirror
when my eyes could no longer reflect you
- they had just ceased to see you, you know
and yet, still loving you
loving you like crazy
just hoping madness could
somehow
someday
find that closing answer that would win us
so i kept falling
and running
forever running against the wind
for 18 years i was breakin' all the rules
i stood up against the entire galaxy
just for you
for you,
hiding all my dead contradictions inside
killing them by the day
just running
insanely running against the wind
while you,
you could never find that acceptance path
that would lead you to my mind
- unable to read me
for an endless lifetime
and now they tell me you're dead...
and the strangest thing happens
i cannot feel a thing...
can your unbeatable rationality explain this?
for one thing, it just made me see through paradox.
i spent my best years forgiving you
just to finally realize
i will never, ever be able to forgive you.
and it seems all so simple now:
i just needed to accept
that you are, you have always been unforgivable.
and the bliss is i feel quite rested now
ready to ease
and embrace that eternal storm in me
and embrace that eternal storm in me
at last
at last
well, i came here today
just to let you know
that i'm still running
and running fast,
an old stubborn wild horse
running free
against the wind.
an old stubborn wild horse
running free
against the wind.
the thing is
it feels warming and peaceful now
that gentle touch
of a friendly breeze on my face.
so please, be good and rest in peace.
can you do that for me ?
