Marco Mattei's Age of Fragility album cover

It’s been a hard time, you know
I have just been going with the flow – lately
Way way too much time to think
Still, I could not make it sink

I’m not even sure if I should share

Outside there’s sunshine, so I am told
But I’m so drenched in rain and cold – let it be
This is not how I’d like to feel
Reality won’t break a deal with me

Why would anyone even care?

Windows closed, bags of sand around
I wish I could leave it all behind
A trick of the mind

You know, it’s so hard to explain
What is the problem? Tell me again… – it’s not all gray
I already bored you way too much
See you, for sure let’s keep in touch

I’m not even sure you’d understand

Spinning around, around, around
Spinning around and not getting anywhere
The mess that’s in my head is like a lost and found
For years nobody cared about
