Love Was a Terrifying Thing (feat. Samuele Zenti)

There's a lie I've always believed in
It is fate and that in the end
We're always gonna win
Perfect movie scenes made me live in daydreams
But I began being so enthralled
That when I realized I had been fooled
I haven't slept since
I was just a kid

And when I was walking
With the hands in my pockets
The cold was outside
The cold was inside
I was breathing hope out
And letting fear in
Misery shook hands with me
I was so desperate for affection
That I didn't realize that since then
I had been walking hand in hand
With a slayer ready for me
It felt like Nancy killing Sid

Unconsciously devoured
The fact that love
Is a distortion of the senses
An instance of a misinterpreted perception
I started to repulse every affection
Not realizing that maybe it was all
A misconception
Darling put that heart inside my chest again
It hurts
But at least I can finally feel like most men

All your pictures in my room
Are finally dripping painting,
I didn't think I was subject to change
But I am changing
In my room now
There's more space
For pictures of a new face
Now I'm here tonight
Writing about resuming the fight,
I can be stranded
With no ship in sight
But the horizon is so damn bright

If the water was my life
I can tell you before I met you how it was like
My hopeless body always tented to float
But now that I have you
I can carry you afloat
Leaving the pain swimming crawl
Or breaststroke
Water can sometimes be at our throat
And can really hurt
But we will be fine
Cause progress is not a straight line

Although I'm happy now,
I still think about the past somehow,
Wondering what could have been,
If I had let my true self be seen
