Joey

(Dedicated to all those who have suffered in silence)

A small diary found in a forgotten loft
Faded witness of distant times
Pale writing... of a dead boy

Wasted shots of a remote reality
They breed ravaging memories
Stolen feelings - details of life
Daily adolescent recollections... invade my mind

A cold autumn day, a trip with my friends
A tormenting image... and that boy dressed in black!
A cold autumn day, Lady Pain is here
An image of death, a scream in my head!

I fear that my feelings are useless
Our games and those strange things...
Recollections of a boy and his unforgettable voice;

In memory of the innocent ones
Of all those souls betrayed by ignorance
An image of death, a scream in my head...

"...Joey..."

I'll pretend not to remember, again and again...
I'll shield my essence, my pride, my consciousness...
I know that a tear could slash my face
A blue point on an endless white space
I'll shield my essence, my pride, my consciousness...

"Everything happened in just a moment
Time of a breath, and I was lonely with my regret,
With my pain
Time cannot soothe a memory; that strange laugh,
Sunny days, the yellow dress
A flower for a memory"

A cold autumn day, a trip with my friends
A tormenting image... and that boy dressed in black!
A cold autumn day, Lady Pain is here
An image of death, a scream in my head!

"...Joey..."
