COLORS
Put this life on this night, could you spend it asleep ?
no, you could not dream. Could you maybe turn off a light
just to turn it on when it could be late ?
it will never be dark, learn to face this night up
there's so much to get there's your star somewhere
so if you should close your eyes … just smile before
what i'm trying to say's that this growing is not getting old
what i was trying to explain, now it's late, i know
but you're the one you were before
with all the colors you lost
now take this line as a joke where some succeeds and someone,
someone else just fails
tell me what means a lot when both of them refused soon
their own way to be free cause they could be me
but weakness bought all rich wisdom and
now send the poor to pay much for this very expensive sleep
what i'm trying to say's this growing is not getting old
what i was trying to explain, now it's late, i know
but you're the one you were before
with all the colors you lost
and all that you never get to be alright
or just to feel proud
cause there must be a way to hold on
faithful to the promise made to all the colors you lost.
They are something you know, they are what you created
they are something you are, somehow and anyway
they are something you love and they feel the same

ANOTHER ME
The fire lies under, all this water above
the bottle is always the one i have earned
hey ... is it the same for your dinner ...
or is it the same thing just for your face ?
Cause there is a stage in disguise that is hiding your disgrace
Sadness is trying to conceal the lack of respect
but there is place where I am sure cheats will be cheated
That place is where another me wins ... another me.
The curtain is falling, clapping hands are tuning out
the story is without words but if words are still safe you lost
you steal words from this silence but it's loud
always remember the first line, my dinner is mine and yours now lies
Deep in a sound that is mildly screaming your disgrace
Can you be stupid enough to not understand ...
the eyes of the man who belongs to the places ...
where another me wins ?
where another me is respectfully standing
on the border line of the front row
that's where another me wins ... you know ...
that's where another me is alone

FLAMING RED HORIZON
Prayers in the box of the "untradeable" faith
with pictures never taken of a wonderful tale,
where no one stares at this horizon in cage.
So it is that your faith forgot to be fair
and left this silence in your stead.
how can i stare at the streets where you loved to walk
no Saint Marks ain't the same without you.
Then someone saw the sailor sailing the space.
It's said it smiles at stars as they pass by with grace
and that he writes down all the names screamed out by the flames.
So it is that the river that bloody morn
stole the sailor from the ocean.
So that it was ridiculous to be here,
New York makes no sense without you.
Now can you hear how this horizon in flames screams our names ?
hey .. that's your name
So i've been talking to you, don't know how long, pretending you were still there,
i asked you all the things that i didn't know ...
mate, come on can you please tell me more
Yes i've been talking to you, i don't know how long,
you know, there was so much to say ...
can you hear how these flames are now screaming out loud ?

THE WHEELER DEALER
And if it was just that is time for him to die with a smile,
i mean ... he's been lying to himself for so long
that now lies turned into life ...
and he said maybe this is my happiness
Cause fools wash their lies into the eyes
Yes, fools wash their time into the price
But i've got a life not a job in my hands
i've got a smile not a laugh, this is my fun
i've got a light that is not a sun
but it's not dark yet ... enough to give up, enough to be done
And if it was just that it's never too late for him to get a new mask ...
I mean is not always that heroes are brave
sometimes they are those who escaped
and maybe this is my happy end.
Cause fools wash their lies into the eyes
Yes, fools wash their time into the price paid
But i've got a life not a job in my hands
i've got a smile not a laugh, this is my fun
i've got a light that is not a sun
but it's not dark yet ... enough to give up, enough to be done.
It's not enough.

INSTEAD
one more time you keep the language wrong to save the meaning
time to get ahead to the end and back ... to the beginning
in stead of all those steps you use to hide instead
leaving pale puddles in the air
reading pale footsteps on a sound
one more time you keep the voice down to release the feeling
time to get ahead to the end and back ... back to the meaning
in stead of all those steps you use to hide instead
leaving pale puddles in the air
reading pale footsteps on a sound
Now come to spread your wasted pride
surviving through the back door
you've got to get back to see how long it burns
you've got to get a back door
you've got to get back to get out from the front
you've got to get back home
you've got to get back to wash your wasted love
you've got to get up before
you've got to get up before falling down again
now that is time get ahead to the end and back ...
mhhhhh ... time get ahead to the end and back
back to that meaning.

REPETITIVE
Cant stop sayin the same things
i'm quite repetitive
well this day is fake, what am i inside of it?
Cant stop looking around
like the worst alien,
there's none in the right place
it sounds criminal
and if i'm just looking for silence
forgive me ... its just my opinion is tired
Cant forget that is small what your forgot to feed
all you don't think could be big
and what you did not love indeed
Cant forget how your story was born tiny to grow
and how you forgot it to be big mediocrity
so if i'm just looking for silence
its just that words move too blind
Forgive me ... its just my opinion is tired
forget it ... its just my opinion is mine
and it's not on sale
well if i am just looking for silence
it's just these words move to blind
Forgive me it's just my opinion is tired
Forget it it's just my opinion is mine
and it's not on sale
it's just my opinion ... forget it

29 TIMES (Stead featurng Dave Muldoon)
Happiness burns in the wake of every smile, this is life, this is the compromise
Happiness is all you can keep not more than a while, It's not fast ... it is just free
tell me how it goes when your pride seems so armless, tell me would you have ever foreseen
that i counted 29 times when i tried to believe in the fireworks ?
I know this day has been made for a better idea, once i was rash and i loved the past
but now i know its like that someone or something is stealing the life that i left and the words ...
like it was a word
tell me how it goes when one half seems smaller, tell me would you have ever foreseen
that i would have counted the 29 times when i tried to be trading the tears ?
for a happy new year
for a happy new fear
The old year is gone, a cruel peace rules on the hope, promises now rest
drunken hearts in very fat souls
when the party is done ...
time now takes its place
so that if this time is getting on and getting on is gettin
dreadful and fast ...i will find my way back
so that if this time is getting on and getting on is getting short
i will be counting the 29 times
when i tried to be me ...
trading the tears for a happy new fear

GIUGGIULENA (Stead featuring Giuliano Dottori)
You're gone, some leave just to stay
someone is so pure that remains in the air
that's the secret of the wind
You're gone and now you should be there
a place i was not sure it could really exist
a place you did create
now the best love is waiting for you to go
the best light is shining while darkness
is just what we cannot see
looking for all that we cant understand
You're gone and there's a cup of nuts ice scream
between the way you made laugh and your way to be free
i could not compare
You're gone, some leave just to stay
someone is so pure that remains in the air
like a secret in the wind
now the best love is waiting for you to go
the best light is shining while darkness
is just what we cannot see
looking for all that we cant understand
you're gone
