Gli occhi della mente

It's the eyes of the mind
That make me see you
I can't caress you
Delirium, delirium
It's the eyes of the mind
That make me see you
I can't caress you
Delirium, delirium, delirium

Do you know what's more fragile than crystal?
Every conviction on my pedestal
For me, who follows reason and strike always a straight line
But the first depression makes my foot err
You don't need to get into my castles bearing an axe
An X-ray plate against light between finger pads is enough
A doctor with surgery tools is enough
And the worst nonbelievers invoke Olympus
Like Calvin I gave life to the bodies of puppets
Because I still expressed myself with verses like in the Jurassic
I've had real friends, imaginary friends
As long as I could tell them apart, nothing to worry about
But on the saddest days I spoke to crucified christs
Photos of my loved ones who are dead, new lipsticks
I defended my illusions like a grizzly bear

It's the eyes of the mind
That make me see you
I can't caress you
Delirium, delirium
It's the eyes of the mind
That make me see you
I can't caress you
Delirium, delirium, delirium

When I went to school as a boy
I had a friend who popped wheelies on his moped
When he was expelled he hadn't opened a book
He said teachers had it in for him (delirium)
Conspiracism close
Gurus motivated only by my wallet
Sacred texts to justify an extermination
I promised to myself I wouldn't be attached to (delirium)
And now I live in my dominion
I sever ties with the divine like Hirohito
I don't believe in me, but I've at least existed
I won't let every individual lie about everything like mint on the mojito
While I'm nailing evidences to my soles
A new absurd thesis takes off (takes off)
Being the project of a higher mind
Has never made anyone less of an idiot
Flat Earth, delirium, hollow Earth, delirium
That story about the old astronaut is a delirium
They even predict the past for a delirium
From an expert who is simultaneously the fountain and the narcissus
Ectoplasm, delirium, pseudo-pharma, delirium
This entire story which is a fire on a wax match
The pyramids of Cheops, Chephren and Menkheres
Have nothing alien about them

It's the eyes of the mind
That make me see you
I can't caress you
Delirium, delirium
It's the eyes of the mind
That make me see you
I can't caress you
Delirium, delirium, delirium

I feel bad (I feel bad)
I'm alone in my (delirium)
In the delirium (delirium, delirium)

You see I know, I don't hide
The inadequacy of being in the world (delirium)
I know that which gives you protection and comfort
Is not love (it's the eyes of the mind)
With all sorrows of young Werther
Imagination is the strongest weapon (delirium)
Aim for the stars or aim for the temples
But who choses it?

It's the eyes of the mind
It's the eyes of the mind
That make me see you
I can't caress you
Delirium, delirium, delirium
Delirium, delirium, delirium
Delirium
