Veleno


The poison that I drink today Is what keeps me living in this fray Her poison keeps me alive While slowly ripping me apart inside The continuity of my heartfelt battle Shakes me to the core like a snake's rattle I beg for the removal of this ambiguity But it's impossible when I foresee Dis aliter visum As I lift my bottle of rum Hoping to douse out her pestilential love It only reminds me that she's as fragile as a dove Well at least that's true for her line of reason It's like the never ending change of seasons And whilst I wage a war for her admiration She resides in the poison with the cruel intention After many months of struggles and tribulation I thought I had won and I celebratated with delectation But alas, when the battle seemed to have been won I find out the poison has not yet been undone It now runs deep in my blood-filled veins And she is the only one who holds the reins What I feel I do not show The lack of emotion starts to grow Vehemence in my mind Despondency now all the time She is the cause of my pertubation Her poison makes me numb to all sensation But it keeps her love flowing freely And I cannot hide from that malady Vorrei solo che lei avrebbe scelto solo a me Ma ora so che questo non sarà mai Ma io l'amo ancora e lo sarà sempre...
