lyrics

No Unicorns
Central Park West, NY

Day after day I’ve been wondering why
all that I hear is a noise buzzing from inside,
as if my heart became a bumblebee.
Year after year I’ve been searching for signs
Then I realized I was looking but I was blind.
There are no unicorns to be found.

No fairytales
No epic chase
No other worlds
Nothing but stillness
Nothing’s worth fighting for

While after while I’ve been learning to fly
in every piece of a ceiling that it’s my sky
So I could be and appear as they want me to be
Since there’s no time to take care of my life
how could I furnish my tunnel the way I like?
There are no fairies, no life on mars.

Nothing to say,
nothing to change,
nothing but fragments of days that I cannot deny,
Even when it was a lie,
it was all mine.

Welcome,
Welcome to nowhere,
Welcome to my empty cage
where a dream must come to an end:
it was not enough.
Welcome to nowhere,
I have failed so many times
trying to find my way out,
out from this nowhere.

For all this time
I’ve been dying to reach MY paradise.
Waiting for the moment, waiting for the circumstance
But everyone’s broken, every door’s locked
and I can’t get out.

All this time
I’ve been sacrificing all my life getting used to failure
in a world of Nobel’s and models,
And everybody looks so good
And everybody has to fake a life of happy moments

No fairytales
White ties and tails
Acting, reacting, pretending to be on a stage
Wanting to be just a Truman that never finds out.

Welcome, welcome to nowhere,
It doesn’t matter who you are
It doesn’t matter who you’ve been:
it was not enough.
Welcome to nowhere,
I have failed so many times
searching my way out of this
life in a blank screen.

Well done,
This is not my world
This is not my planet
This is not my world
This is not my planet
This is not my world
This is not my planet
This is not my world
How could I stand still?
