Arms

Arms

The line of me

is the fire within

to myself I lie

despite a thousand beliefs


The line of this

is my bursting within

rising behind the cover

more than alive its surreal


In spite of this

these flailing arms around me seem to be

the only thing that grounds me into being

forever holding darkness in between

the meaning that this hour gives to me


A line in me

marking fortune within

breaking a tale of magic

this time I know its too real


Despite all of this

these flailing arms around me seem to dig

right through this empty vastness into me

they flash bizarre reminders back at me

they read out what this hour means to me


And in spite of this

these flailing arms surround me and fail to see

the only thing that holds me into being

forever turning darkness into dream

the meaning that this hour gives to me

the meaning that this hour gives to me

the meaning that this hour gives to me

Comfort and Pain


I'm just sitting here, this place is a mess
you're not staying here, you're not even there
the city's asleep, or trying to wake

and I never knew, just how hard it would get
I never believed, this life could just end
instead of relief, this heart lies in pain

this is the comfort that comes from the pain
this is the meaning, so harsh and so frail

I feel like I'm losing, I fear I'll forget
your body is missing, your soul and your face
you said you would fix me, please try once again

this is the comfort that comes from this pain
this pain is the meaning of fear and regret

this is the comfort that comes from the pain
a pain that's eternal and never forgets

this is
my pain
this is my comfort
but also my fate

odd timing


like the setting of the sun in winter
like the coming of a storm in june

like the feeling that will never wither
much like falling into secret pain

finding corners, in a sea of servants
moving blindly through a maze you know
touching slowly, inadvertently
fearing a witness in the eyes of all

this came along
unexpected
this came along
by itself

it came unlooked for
it came unbidden
to drive my senses
to drive my self

I can't deny this
neither can you
our thoughts betray us
much more than you

this broken moment
a gap in space
a section of darkness
unforgiving fate

how odd the timing
how cool your face
in spite of madness
will we lose ourselves?

Repercusiones


Se cayó el cielo
y la luna estalló

El instante, oscuro
dibujó tu figura
bajo un umbral sin color

Tanta ira desbocada
tanta emoción desenfrenada
a riendas sueltas el momento,
se perdió tanto de esto

Inmóvil quedé
y mi respirar olvidé

La idea, esa ternura
consumida en esta enorme locura
delicada y diferente
como cuando el viento cambia de repente

Como cuando cambias
como cuando sientes
Como cuando evitas su mirada
y ni la luna ni el sol te lo resiente

in the evening


All is hanging in this circle
torn between desire and pain
living faded, fearing nothing 
but your weaknesses and regrets 

all that sound
pounds your senses
tears a hole
there's no replacing!

Hey! you! you don't know...
hey you!  but you think you show
hey you, this buried gold
hey, you! distills my soul

Digging deeper, this is sinking
in my pride I delude a pact
all my senses are mistaken
if I really believe your part...

all this sound
all it burdens
fills your eyes
can you remember?

Hey you! you don't know,
hey! you, you think you show
hey you! this buried gold
hey, you! distills my soul

in the morning



all this time I've been sitting away from life
always cornered, never failing to see what's mine
reaching out only searching for peace of mind
looking better (so much better) if I manage to win the fight...

you don't know
what I've seen
things don't feel
how they seem

hey, you... you don't know
hey you! you come and go
hey, you... is it right or wrong?
hey you! you still my soul...

outside everything is left up at stake
inside is always better if you're not there
on your knees, and you feel your heart as it quakes
here's your shelter, here's your sorrow, in this bitter place where it ends.

please don't think
this is real
it's just the face
I reveal

hey you! you don't know
hey you! you come and go
hey, you! it's not right or wrong
hey! you... you still my soul

in the silence, in the fortune, in the shadows in our heads
break the silence, it's not forgotten
we receive and we regain
