Such, such is Death: no triumph: no defeat:
Only an empty pail, a slate rubbed clean,
A merciful putting away of what has been.
And this we know: Death is not Life effete,
Life crushed, the broken pail. We who have seen
So marvellous things know well the end not yet.
Victor and vanquished are a-one in death:
Coward and brave: friend, foe. Ghosts do not say,
“Come, what was your record when you drew breath?”
But a big blot has hid each yesterday
So poor, so manifestly incomplete.
And your bright Promise, withered long and sped,
Is touched, stirs, rises, opens and grows sweet
And blossoms and is you, when you are dead.

Speed up and wait for me,
You know that I cannot sleep,
Clod on my eyelids, no blinkin', no pause,
I'm sorry,
but I could never let it go...
Go,
Go astray,
No more,
Again...
Find me where the things, the things don't die
Find me where I can't, I cannot lie
I am only just a few miles apart
Would even the devil
Try to tear us apart?
I don't think so
I never did,
I never lived,
I never cared,
I only lived, I only lived, for him to stay
Please, santify me, take my pigments, blow it all away
Make me a number, put on some hate and
End it
End me
End it, end me.

ARE YOU REALLY SYRIOUS?

Mírame, mírame, mírame
Mira como ando sin freno,
Mira como es mío el terreno,
Mira que te piden que sueltes,
Mira que allá arriba no hay leyes
Mírame, mírame
I always thought I couldn't go through the sandstorm,
But none of predictions stands tall
I could not help but wonder,
¿Qué es lo que realmente escondes?
Why am I being so obvious?
Maybe i just want you to...
Look at me, look at me, look at me (yeah)
What are you gonna believe,
My heart just wants you to bleed?
I never cared if you breathed,
That whas not part of the deal,
I am not naive like that eve, you see?
I just want to look at my self steem
Tryna conceive, tryna complete
When I'm are around, baby, I wanna leave.

By being broken i just learned
That pain is only over when you are dead
Blood will tear us apart, let me show you
I will never be that thing you want, i always told you
I always told you
I always told you
What is the worst thing I'd ever done to you?
Have I ever done the unimaginable ? the unforgivable? the unspeakable?
Show me the line i crossed...
I will step back, i'll kneel,
I always felt what you feel, but i have to lie to you,
I have to lie to you
Every time
I am a liar , I can't stay
I am a liar, I won't play
I am the fire, I'm not honest
Lowkey much higher, reset, reconnet
Give me your light, and please go away
I am a liar , I can't stay
What is the worst thing I'd ever done to you?
Have I ever done the unimaginable? The unforgivable? The unspeakable?
Show me the line i crossed,
I will , step back, i'll kneel,
I always felt what you feel, but i have to lie to you,
I have to lie to you
Every time

BOXES AND LIGTHS

Whenever a line is crossed
Whenever your god is gone
Whenever my past is shown
Whenever a secret is told
Whenever my ears are gold
Does it matter if you are there or not?
If the place you wanna go is closed
By a fucking stranger
Find myself forgetting my words
Being the lie I was told once
Being...
Luckly my fears rise with grace
Sadly your words no longer remain
My chains are suspended
What's the perfect time to surrender?
you still here, even though I'm helpless
Whenever a line is crossed
Whenever your god is gone
Whenever my past is shown
Whenever a secret is told
Whenever my ears are gold
Find myself forgetting my words
Being the lie I was told once
I was told once, I was told once...
When you say you need me, are you lying?
I cant speed a promise, you are not running
Remember my eyes, that night, so black
Surrender to them, so bright, my life is
Kind of just a memory, and im so sorry that I could not be
The most precious trophy of yo urs
The bravest girl now i am so cold
It's time for you to mark my words
I think I am no longer yours

Y tú en verdad la atravesarás, claro está.
La violenta tormenta de
arena.
La tormenta de arena metafísica y simbólica.
Pero por más metafísica y simbólica que sea, te rasgará cruelmente la carne como si de mil cuchillas se tratase.
Muchas personas han derramado allí su sangre y
tú, asimismo, derramarás allí la tuya.
Sangre caliente y roja.
Y esa sangre se verterá en tus manos. Tu sangre y, también, la sangre de los demás.
Y cuando la tormenta de arena haya pasado, tú no comprenderás
cómo has logrado cruzarla con vida.
Ni siquiera estarás seguro de que la tormenta haya cesado de verdad. Pero una cosa sí quedará clara:
Y es que la persona que surja de la tormenta no será la misma persona
que penetró en ella.
