Lilith [English translation]

Body full of tattoos, soul of scars

You learned to burn, but not how to put it out

Amongst erased shadows and the blue cigarette smoke

You bury regrets and the disappointments of yesterday

I screwed up, I left Lilith in my heart

She burned me, she totally destroyed me, she roasted me

I have all my ribs in place, but I feel incomplete

I don’t have space for Eve in my heart anymore, I want . . .

To lose you, but not totally

Because I like to drown in fire

To abstain, but I can’t

Because I like to drown in fire

You are fire of ice, life after death

The last that I want, but the first amongst all

Guilty pleasure, a drop in the glass

Never perfect, but a necessary evil

Innocent, guilty, ugly, but beautiful

The most beautiful paradox, you do everything inside out

It is boring in peace

I feel unclean and I like it

I’m done with all that is good and well, I swear!

Come on, lose me in you now

I don’t want to run from the bad, please, do it to me

Give it to me, I know that I want you to dominate me

Now you play Marla Singer

Where they wounded you, you put a sticker

I give you love through verse

“Times New Roman” for me, “Comic Sans” for you

I don’t want the truth, I want sugar

I don’t need wings, I want chartered

Dear, you turn me into pieces

Pain, alcohol, and drugs.
