Parla in fretta e non pensar 00:05
Se quel che dici può far male 00:10
Perché mai io dovrei fingere 00:16
Di essere fragile come tu mi 00:20
Vuoi nasconderti in silenzi 00:26
Mille volte già concessi 00:32
Tanto poi, tu lo sai 00:37
Riuscirei sempre a convincermi 00:40
Che tutto scorre 00:44
Usami, straziami, strappami l'anima 00:47
Fai di me quel che vuoi, tanto non cambia 00:53

[English]
Speak quickly and don't think
If what you say can hurt
Why should I ever have to pretend
To be fragile like you want me to be
You hide yourself in silence
Already given a thousand times
But then, you know
I would always manage to convince myself
That everything flows
Use me, tear me apart, rip out my soul
Do whatever you want with me, it doesn't change
The idea I now have of you, green rabbit
With a thousand funny faces
Tell me again how much your wax mask weighs
Because then, you know, it will melt away
Like snow in the sun
While everything flows
Use me, tear me apart, rip out my soul
Do whatever you want with me, it doesn't change
The idea I now have of you, green rabbit
With a thousand funny faces
Shoot at me, missed target
Try again, it's a minefield
What remains of our past
Don’t deny it, it's wasted time
Indelible stains, covering them is a crime
Cast the stone, those without sin
Cast the stone, those without sin
Throw it because I’ve failed in everything
Cast the stone, those without sin
Throw it because I’ve failed in everything
Use me, tear me apart, rip out my soul
Do whatever you want with me, it doesn’t change
The idea I now have of you, green rabbit
With a thousand funny faces
Shoot at me, missed target
Try again, it’s a minefield
What remains of our past
Don’t deny it, it’s wasted time
Indelible stains, covering them is a crime
Cast the stone, those without sin
Cast the stone, those without sin
Throw it because I’ve failed in everything
