This emptiness I've been through has shown me things I wouldn't even think live within me the dark night of the soul hit, and like a house of cards my world fell down and all was wilderness I saw the face of the unsettling guest and tried to act like he wasn't there but there was no way to avoid the test, the resonance of his call was loud and present everywhere
to help me seeing my task you firmly grasped my hand and all games were over, over
all this time I've felt like a needle had found its way into my head that constant itch that made me want to scratch the skin off my own flesh hunger and thirst for food and water I could not steal from the earth free to walk blind and deaf I carried on to gain the right to rest
felt safer to stay there, locked up inside a safe I didn't realize that no lips can kiss the child hiding from their love inside a chest
and never again I will accept to lay behind these walls of lies and sleep through numb and timeless nights, and never again I will obey the king inside the archetype supposed to be my very strength that for too long I left free to rule me oppress my soul with his tyranny, never
I'll try to drop this choking mask and show my scars, to embrace my fear, let you come near, and see what happens then lower my hands, be defenseless, and risk to drown, take on your challenge, be myself and see what happens then

alive and dead, enemies, friends, rulers and slaves, the children of men bleeding within, forsaken down here, still fighting to breathe, and grant ourselves air something to believe, some heaven to see
all these lives entangled like two snakes around a branch that's stretching out from the eternal sacred tree
oh now I feel violent vibrations shaking the very foundations of the earth all connected, roots and branches, light and darkness dance inside my head am I mad? no more judgement, spite or anger, every piece is falling into place
