Vessel

I've been sinking down with the ship I used to lead, deeper that the Marianas Trench
While something lacked within me
A scope. After the rain, the calm, a gap in the clouds
The light of the sun that enshrouds me

Once, I
Dreamed
To be carried away by a man, who found my body, dead, hanged to the
Mast
A violent epilogue, to me the most peaceful end

Back then

I saw Polaris fade through the mist
And lost the landmarks to draw the route
So I sat, lowered motion, for I remembered: "If the bottle does not break..."

Oh, sometimes I still wonder if
It's real, all I eye
And answers, something I can not find

While the tissues white were waving wistfully to consecrate the sailing
I was not sure whether I would reach the subsequent port, so I made a solemn pledge to myself
To remember, the night before, the soothing words of a friend, who said
"Guarda il cielo"

I've cast it with strenght, it
Did not break
The tide rises and I
Start to shake

To someone the worst of latter ends, to me, in retrospect, the most blissful event
In the eye of the storm is where I am

Right now

But as Polaris fades through the mist
The compass stings paper and draws the route
So I stand on the ocean, beholding my whole world, facing it again
The squall led to shipwreck
But I've been Robinson Crusoe
