[Couplet 1]
Am I the only one who hears this obstinate voice?
It lets you think that you live in a remote place
That you can't die by jumping off an inclined roof
But haven't you ever thought deep down
That it was possible that you're the Chosen One?
Yeah, I have, the only one, chosen among men
Stuck in a world where all I've been taught is rubbish
I'm becoming awaring of it after all this time
Who says that my teachers were right?
As soon as I bring this up, someone tells me that science has the answers, phew!
And what proves that this science is truly genuine?
Tonight, I'm strangely doubting myself
I live with people, that's true, but I only have my head
To see and hear them, how is that different to my dreams?
Right?! And what if my brain has dreamt it all up?
Hey, only need to think about it and everything suddenly makes sense to me
Have I really spent a quarter of my days settling myself into*
A fake world? Shit, I feel that I'm losing control
[Chorus]
And I feel alone, torn between reality and insanity
I can no longer take hold of life with both hands
I don't want to give in before my dreams are fulfilled
I need a remedy fast, it's tense
And I feel alone, torn between reality and insanity
I can no longer take hold of life with both hands
I don't want to give in before my dreams are fulfilled
I quickly need a remedy before my head explodes
[Couplet 2]
I'm far from being a vulgar beast
But does that make me a genius?
No, not one great psychic has predicted the good life for me
And I might've be born to make toilet bowls shine
But I'm far from being a young lout who's too curious
I look for the problem rather than its solution, so I'm stepping forward with
A fixed gaze and I'm starting to become furious
I just need an absolute proof, wait, hold on...
Those who tell me to stay rational are idiots
May as well get a lobotomy, it's cute
Fuck, they've already dropped too many hints
In this madness I have visions
They're making me more paranoid than Johnny and Benicio
I'm not saying that my thoughts are clear but maybe
The answers are to be found in places
Where I've never set foot, here we go I'm getting worried
What's going to cure this fever that's rising within me?
Shit, Anthony, get a grip...
[Chorus]
You'll end up alone, torn between reality and insanity
I can no longer take hold of life with both hands
I don't want to give in before my dreams are fulfilled
I need a remedy fast, it's tense
Fuck, I feel alone, torn between reality and insanity
I can no longer take hold of life with both hands
I don't want to give in before my dreams are fulfilled
I quickly need a remedy before my head explodes
[Couplet 3]
Anthony, Anthony be reasonable
If you keep putting it on, they'll silence you
I beg you to believe that life's not a stupid game
And you must adapt if you want to survive - what?!
Who's going to make me fit in the mould
Also, who can really see if my head's messed up?
Fuck the others, I won't change, my sermon's upfront:
If they give me shit
I'll respond by perforating bodies
I'll leave them alone, torn between reality and insanity
I do intend to succeed in elaborating my legend
I'll let them give in while my dreams are being fulfilled
The crown, the sceptre and the throne all go to me
'cos I'll never again be alone, torn between reality and insanity
I mean to succeed in elaborating my legend
Shit, I'm still waiting for this dream to be fulfilled
And I have to come back down to Earth before my head explodes
Fuck, it's a shitstorm
Angst is rising and I'm losing track of all this shit...
In my head...
[Bridge: 4x]
Thousands of thoughts are intertwining
My head's on fire tonight
For now, I'm waiting for my blood to cool back down
Everything's going haywire, it's about time that I look after myself
It hurts when
[Outro: voiceover]
You think that people are gonna dance to your pitiable stories? Don't you want to talk about money and women like everybody else? Yeah, there you go, women, love... love's great! Don't you have a song about love?
