[Intro: Cristina Scabbia]
I wish you were dead
Inside of my head
A particle of dust
That slowly disappears
[Verse 1: Cristina Scabbia]
Please, keep walking with that grin on the face
You're still making me feel smaller than a grain of sand
Ten thousand prayers cannot heal the regret
In our ceremony of despair
[Verse 2: Cristina Scabbia]
I didn't think the epiphany of decay
Could come back to me tenfold in unexpected ways

[Chorus: Cristina Scabbia & Andrea Ferro]
I wish you were dead
Inside of my head

That slowly disappears
The curse in my breath
Spit out in the wind
If this is the end

[Chorus: Cristina Scabbia & Andrea Ferro]
I wish you were dead
Inside of my head
A particle of dust
That slowly disappears
The curse in my breath
Spit out in the wind
If this is the end
You need to disappear
[Bridge: Andrea Ferro]
I wish you were dead
[Chorus: Cristina Scabbia]
I wish you were dead
Inside of my head
A particle of dust
That slowly disappears
The curse in my breath
Spit out in the wind
If this is the end
You need to disappear
[Outro: Cristina Scabbia]
I wish you were dead
I wish you were
