The lyrics to “Vultures” by Eddie Brock
Below is the text of Vultures by Eddie Brock in Sanremo 2026:
I tried you know
But I can’t help but think of an us
I already know what you’re going to say anyway
We would ruin everything
Our friendship
It’s worth more than that
And pretending
That neither of them knew
To pretend there’s nothing there
I bite my tongue until I bleed
Telling you that
But if you know
That you always choose what will hurt you
And you’re left alone in a bed that needs to be made
Because it’s easier for you to get undressed
That strips your heart
The words get stuck in my throat
And I’ll wipe away your runny mascara
For that man who is worthless
And you fall for it again and again
It’s you
May you never learn
And you go to bed with it
And then you come back to me crying on my chest
As beautiful as you are
You will never be able to trust
But if you know
That you always choose what will hurt you
And you’re left alone in a bed that needs to be made
Because it’s easier for you to get undressed
Undress
Undress
There’s no point in wasting your time
Consuming those eyes
So beautiful
Crying for that bastard
They always say they are heroes
But they circle you like vultures
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
But if you know
That you always choose what will hurt you
And you’re left alone in a bed that needs to be made
For the fear that always makes you run away
From all this love
