Incansable

Incansable.

Esta ansiedad prematura,
cronica,
omnipresente.

Se acorta sola
y regresa cuando quiere.

Como un azote en blanco,
y la llaga del engaño.
Una bofetada de mentiras,
y el sin-sabor de antaño.

Se vierte y se recoje
me pierde y me absorbe.

Te recuerda, 
pero también me impone.

Ranting

The question will drive you
the need will find you
The concern in stone and heart will mold you
while your thoughts and sights withstand you

It's not something that is new
you've felt it run through you
You've seen what it can do
and wished it wasn't you

The turn has come
this round is through
The end will see
just how well you breathe

And once this dream is over
once this night's forgotten
once this road's already trodden
the door you desire lay open
you will see closed and lost and stolen

Thanks Mr. Cohen for Mr. Buckley


Well I heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
Well it goes like this
The fourth, the fifth
The minor fall and the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah...

Well your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
she tied you to her kitchen chair
And she broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
Hallelujah...

Well baby I've been here before
I've seen this room and I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew you

I've seen your flag on the marble arch

Love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah...


Well there was a time when you let me know
What's really going on below
But now you never show that to me do you?
And remember when I moved in you?
And the holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah
Hallelujah...

Well maybe there's a God above
But all I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who'd outdrew you


And it's not a cry that you hear at night

It's not somebody who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah...
Hallelujah...
Hallelujah.
