Voice and guitars: Stefano Droghetti

Truth may break your dreams, it’s indisputable
may lead you to relive a heinous youth
Always unrevealed, dim and mutable
naked, lost and bare, it’s just the truth

Living in your lie was so beautiful
telling which is which and who is who
with all those you deceived you’ve been so merciful
but then again appeared the awful truth

Hey, can you feel the adrenaline?
please don’t mess with your medicine
it’s twisting your face
And wait, are you feeling delusional?
your own life is material and now it points at you

Hidden in the dark all those minions
crawling in the dirt for just a quid
they have been designed with rack and pinion
looking for the sign, they never stop

Some day in the woods you’ll see the orioles
gliding in the wind they’ll sing at you
and then you’ll recognize the secondary role
you had in all the stats they call the truth

Hey, can you feel the adrenaline?
please don’t mess with your medicine
it’s twirling your brain
And wait, are you feeling delusional?
your life is material and now it points at you
oh, it’s pointing at you

The Truth.

Stefano Droghetti
