Porque sueño

Porque sueño yo no lo estoy. Porque sueño, sueño, porque me abandono por las noches a mis sueños antes de que me deje el día. Porque no amo, porque me asusta amar. Ya no sueño, ya no sueño, ¡ya no sueño!... ya-no-sueño. A ti, la Dama, la audaz melancolia que con grito solitario hiendes mis carnes ofreciendolas al tedio, tú que atormentas mis noches con mis sueños cuando no sé qué camino de mi vida tomar, te he pagado cien veces mi deuda. De las brasas del ensueño sólo me quedan las cenizas de una sombra de la mentira que tú misma me habías obligado a oir. Y la blanca plenitud no era como el viejo interludio, y sí una morena de finos tobillos que me clavó la pena de un pecho punzante en el que creí, y que no me dejó más que el remordimiento de haber visto nacer la luz sobre mi soledad. E iré a descansar, con la cabeza entre dos palabras, en el valle de los avasallados.

El gran teatro de la vida



The pain that grips you, the fear that binds you releases life in me
In our mutual shame we hide our eyes
To blind them from the truth that finds a way to who we are

Can't wash it all away
Can't wish it all away
Can't cry it all away
Can't scratch it all away

Lying beside you listening to you breathe
The light that flows inside of you, burns inside of me
Cast me not away, say you'll be with me
For I know I cannot bear it all alone

Can't fight it all away
Can't hope it all away
Can't scream it all away
It just won't fade away

Can't wash it all away
Can't wish it all away
Can't cry it all away
Can't hope it all away



"Forgive Me"

Can you forgive me again?
I don't know what I said
But I didn't mean to hurt you

I heard the words come out
I felt that I would die
It hurt so much to hurt you

Then you look at me
You're not shouting anymore
You're silently broken

I'd give anything now
to kill those words for you

Each time I say something I regret I cry "I don't want to lose you."
But somehow I know that you will never leave me, yeah.

'Cause you were made for me
Somehow I'll make you see
How happy you make me

I can't live this life
Without you by my side
I need you to survive

So stay with me
You look in my eyes and I'm screaming inside that I'm sorry.

And you forgive me again
You're my one true friend
And I never meant to hurt you
