In the dark I watch you move through the road
I see you stumble, I see you falling into another crisis
I see the smiles you fake; I hear the news about you
Still, I’m watching here, from the background.
I watch the ashes coming down and lay on the ground
I see the flames dim and the light of the morning come
Soon there will be plenty of time to discuss and to rebuild
But for now, I’m watching here, from the background.
Until I fade away, will you notice me leaving the battlefield?
Until I send away my troops and leave you blazing swords with the void
I keep my letters and my souvenirs and the pieces of you I conquered
I leave gifts and wishes and hopeful thoughts of amending
Some day there will be a season for forgiveness and bliss
Nevertheless, I’m watching here, from the background.
I walk the hills and I see the dawn coming slowly but surely
All I ask for is time and patience and hope enough to go on
I sit on my chair and say a silent prayer as I watch you fall again
Don’t worry, I’m watching here, from the background.
Until I slip away, will you notice I’m not there anymore?
Until I start to leave behind but a trace of me, will you wake up soon enough?
from the background.
this is just another break-up song
pronouns and verbs and wasted words, what for?
cringe at the thought of using them anymore
so much has been said still no real advance
miscommunication has become out latest dance
and you don't think of me how i think of you
and the respect you once had for me
has vanished inside the hurt you so carefully keep
no, your heart doesn't want to give in too deep
and my friends tell me that i should just move on
and my heart tells me that i should just move on
you're too young, too raw, too tough and too immature
to consider and see my offer as something just pure
you're locked inside your hurt
see, i've lost the key you gave me
can't open your heart
and set you free
i think i should be dancing on the streets
kissing strangers and jumping up on cars
but instead i'm sititng there on bars
wondering where our life went wrong
cause if this is what freedom means after all
i know i'd rather much just stick to the fall
and knowing you would still be mine
wake up the other day smiling and it's all fine
i think i should go out and find someone new
but i know he would just be a replacement for you
and all the songs i hear tell me something about us
do i dare to think that somehow they do it for you too?
and as time heals, well, time also forgets
will i still feel the need to call you in the middle of the night
sitting in my bed, six months from now?
just wanting to hear you, not wanting to fight
you're locked inside your hurt
see, i've got no key to rescue you
can't open your heart
and set you free
when a door closes, a window is opened somewhere
but now it seems just too small for me to fit in
can't seem to be able to see through
and picture what lies there on the other side
and if i ever was a rock you could cling on
if i was ever your safe place in this world
this land shakes and crumbles without you now
it takes you to make it safe and make it good again
and the problems you have and i want to solve
and the trust i lay on you - and you lay on me
the moments i kissed you while you were sleeping
will they simply disappear in time - that's such a crime
you're locked inside your hurt
throw me a key to rescue you
then i can open your heart
and set you free
i'll climb the walls
i'll walk the roads
i'll time the times
if i have to
you're lost inside your hurt
find me a key to rescue you
then i can open your heart
and set you free

então, quando meu coração não aguentava mais, eu peguei o telefone e disquei.
uma vez. sem resposta. uma agonia. devo tentar. não desisitir. segunda vez.
houve resposta. abertura. e eu disse que o precisava ser dito. ainda que com medo.
eu disse aquilo que sentia. aquilo que ainda era verdadeiro em mim.
me sinto bem melhor agora.
o futuro somente o futuro pode saber.
o futuro somente o presente pode tecer.
e neste presente, eu escolhi parar de me esconder.
parar de negar. parar de me refrear.
então eu disse o que precisava dizer esperando que tenha sido antes que seja tarde demais.
ainda bem.
lacuna: amar
no tempo passado, neste pretérito tão imperfeito
residem os traços de tudo que foi feito
cada palavra para cada traição
cada conforto para cada desejo em vão
em cada onir em cada vivir
mato e reconstruo teu ser para punir
o que nunca foste nem nunca será
escárnio de ti por não querer te amar
repetir para rementir
portas em que aportas
existir para insistir
corredores de correr dores
despejo o desejo ensejo o cortejo
te enterro em areia até o pescoço com o sol a brilhar
para tua pele queimar, para teus olhos cegar
esperando que assim teu conceito eu possar mudar
porque se teu rosto não é mais teu rosto assim
não haveria mais de seres dor para mim
te jogo aos leões e te afogo no triste mar
e me levo ao limite de ainda assim querer te salvar
repetir para rementir
portas em que aportas
existir para insistir
corredores de correr dores
e o que significas ainda em meu reinado
é apenas ser aquele que não permaneceu ao meu lado
te corto a cabeça te jogo aos pés do meu povo
esperando que assim minha dor esqueça de novo
te dou capital punição, e utilizo-me de tua traição
como motivo causa e conceito de minha satisfação
em querer-te destruir, em querer-te longe daqui
a um milhão de anos luz de tudo que já vivi
repetir para rementir
portas em que aportas
existir para insistir
corredores de correr dores
e se logo amanhece e logo te esqueço
em sonhos novamente me entrego e mereço
a ter um instante de paz, um instante longe do saber
das falhas que vivi, das falhas que vou viver
e se o erro foi meu, e se o erro foi teu
a culpa nasceu, residiu e dentro cresceu
neste onir, em suas planícies distantes e nas serras além
da nossa culpa e falha em amar - não saberá ninguém
