Assenzio [English translation]

One story, one uphill

one street, one pencil

One microphone, one grasp with blood between the fingers

God curses us

I hear his footprints from the engraved cross

With the boiling oil on the forehead

One bastard's soul, one blind conviction

One refuge, one look, one search for the attention

In balance between the deep hate and redemption

I have chosen the bliss of the eternal damnation

Ehi, you know that I've lost too much time

Who knows if you've found it

Who says branded, who says spotted

Of the indelible there is only a doomed destiny

You were looking for comfort from a twisted man

But the fate is mocking and the breath is already short

For us, there is no cure, there is no medicine

if I feel alone when you are near me.

[Pre-Hook: Fedez]

Consciousness dry clean, a cool head shower

I am so lost so that I find myself no longer

Nothing happens out of nowhere, I'm sure of it

My ambition has far exceeded my talent

[Hook:Stash & Levante]

If all the evil could be erased I would drink it as an absinthe

this night

And how many times I would have wanted to scream but I stayed in silence to think about the things I've lost

to imagine that it was different

For months I haven't looked at myself in the mirror

And for some time I've suspected that in the reflection

there is that mask that they've put on me

[Verse 2: J-Ax]

Eh, like an alien that is about to go back home

I point at the stars and I'm halfway (there)

when I was a boy I was happy when the snow was falling

Now it blocks the traffic, it ruins the day

In middle of the crowd of voices that acclaim

To have a radar and only to hear that loneliness that defames

And later the fame has neither utility nor importance

when you see the one you love go away in an ambulance

Then I asked sky for a pardon

for my whole life

While the nurse was inserting tubes in her arms

And I prayed to God: "Take the money, my motorcycle and career but don't take away my girl"

And to truly understand what matters

to realize, in time, that no one lives forever

How many Sundays at home having a hangover

Instead of going to visit grandmother

Now I miss her and I bitterly regret the sweet life

because when you race to win you don't see what you're loosing

Your mother calls your office, you answer in a hurry, unnerved

Between those who are too advanced and those who arrive late, no one is in time however

I want to cut the rope more than I want to cut the ribbon on the finishing line

[Hook:Stash & Levante]

If all the evil could be erased I would drink it as an absinthe

this night

And how many times I would have wanted to scream but I stayed in silence to think about the things I've lost

to imagine that it was different

For months I haven't looked at myself in the mirror

And for some time I've suspected that in the reflection

there is that mask that they've put on me

[Outro:Levante]

Lighter that the ashes

we fly away if the wind blows hard

More precious than a diamond that

becomes light when it's night outside

I become light if it's night out there
