This song was written during a very long journey along Australia, just after I met a man that I thought was very important to me. After a while, I discovered that he was treating me like a doll. This is how I felt. This is what I wrote.
lyrics
My eyes are burning,
my lungs are burning,
while you're asking me what's the matter.
You slide inside me on your toes,
I hardly realize it, you know,
but I'd want to spit you out from my pride
And I would say “stop, please,
it's not time anymore!”
My mind is screaming
my soul is screaming
Can you feel my secret inside?
But what comes out from my mouth
is just the bitter taste of you.
You swore you loved me, and now
you smile and just let me crawl,
naked on my knees on the floor.
Well... you laugh, going away
and you already know that soon you'll be here again.
And so I.
Meanwhile the sun rises
the morning rain comes
maybe it could wash away the stain.
Well... you laugh, going away
and you already know that soon you'll be here again.
And so I.
