I'm on a roll
I'm on a roll
this time
I feel my luck could change
Kill me Sarah
kill me again
with love
it's gonna be a glorious day
Pull me out of the air crash
pull me out of the lake
cause I'm your superhero
we are standing on the edge
The head of state has called for me
by name
but I don't have time for him
it's gonna be a glorious day
I feel my luck could change
Pull me out of the air crash
pull me out of the lake
cause I'm your superhero
we are standing on the edge
We are standing on the edge

Peregrino

Es sutil. Natural. Llevo algún tiempo meditando, pensando… viéndote a través de visiones, en mis noches. Me has quitado más de lo que imaginas. Te has llevado mi soledad en tu maleta de viaje, y has desvanecido tu rostro de mí, para siempre. Me has dejado la inspiración. Las señales chocantes que cautivan mi memoria y entierran mis creencias. Mi fe. Debiste envolverme con más maleza, porque la tierra es caprichosa, y suele dejar fuera el pensamiento, la imagen tenue de un terreno frágil. El vidrio me ha cortado. La sangre no se detiene, corre despavorida a través de mi boca. Me hace llorar. ¿Por qué lo haces? ¿Por qué me besas? No tomes de mí lo que no te he dado. Pero entonces, para compensar tu deseado cariño, llévate en esta cajita dorada, mi peregrino corazón.

This is the song I've been singing my whole life
I've been waiting like a knife
to cut open your heart
and bleed my soul to you
I did it all for you
you and you and you and you
This is the sound I've been making my whole life
I've been waiting for this night
to clear up all the talk
althought I'm selfish to a fault
is it selfish it's you I want
you I did it all for you
This love will stand as long as you
there's really no excuse
I did it all for you
These are the tears I've been crying my whole life
like an ocean of desire
I'm reaching thru the noise
across the dusk of time
within the lilting lies
I am singing out to you
I've been waiting like a knife
to cut open your heart
and bleed my soul to you
I did it all for you
you and you and you and you
This is the sound I've been making my whole life
I've been waiting for this night
to clear up all the talk
althought I'm selfish to a fault
is it selfish it's you I want
you I did it all for you
This love will stand as long as you
there's really no excuse
I did it all for you
These are the tears I've been crying my whole life
like an ocean of desire
I'm reaching thru the noise
across the dusk of time
within the lilting lies
I am singing out to you

Quiasmo

Te acercas caminando tranquilamente. La gente que te observa encantada comprende lo que estás haciendo. Tratan algunos de seguirte, pero todo es inútil. Analizan una a una tus actitudes, distinguen en medio de tu frente la línea imborrable del pasado. Ellos crean impacientemente una efigie tuya más real. Escribir sin objetos, ése es el arte sublime oculto en el alma: volver una circunstancia parte de una historia.
Juegas a no ser gnomo de los sueños, quieres parecer algo más puro. Impresionar a las miradas descaradas entretenidas con los rasgos de tu rostro.

Hot one
Well, you're the grand one
have you noticed?
when you walk in all the fairy boys are very nervous
well, my starship doesn't want me
and neither does his world
I'm glad I caught you on my view screen, sailor
You're the grand one
come and court me
'cause this wooing is what I'm wanting
when my spacesuit comes to warm me
and hold me like a God
I am the captain of the gravity, Maxwell
everywhere I see your faces
Hot one
from a starship over venus to the sun
but it's a crime!
you're mistaken!
momentary seizure of love - oh love
Well, you're the grand one
but darling, I'm a mess
I've got human minds we can form
but the boys are not impressed
when my spacesuit comes to warm me
just hold me like a God
I'll be the captain of the gravity, Maxwell
I see your faces in the strangest places
Hot one
from a starship over venus to the sun
but it's a crime!
you're mistaken!
momentary seizure of love
Hot one
from a starship over venus to the sun
but it's a drag!
you're so mean!
destroying my belief in, in love - oh love

Desahogo

Verdaderamente esperaba sentirme mejor. Arriesgarme. No sentirme señalada por miserables vendedores de libertad. Quería decir mi nombre, el verdadero, y mostrar mi rostro, sin consumir vida. Pensaba en ese instante, incierto, preciso, hastiado. Tocaba continuamente mi cuello, para no advertir que me faltaba el aire cada vez que avanzaba. El corazón comenzó a entonar una melodía insondable, sorda. A cada nota, le asignaba un grado de dolor, o de sufrimiento, no lo sé. En el hoyo donde mis sentimientos habitan, se inició una lucha. Contra mí misma.
Siempre he tenido que engañarme, para evitar herir a las personas que amo. Mi método consiste en convencerme de que las odio. No a todas. Solamente a las que amo menos cada vez que son apacibles conmigo. Existen verdades discutibles, pero no fervientes. Las palomas siguieron su camino, volando por el cielo lleno de lágrimas que cubría mi torpe andar, que me abrigaba. Por fin, llegué. Se agitaba en mi interior un espíritu enloquecido, frenético, completamente furibundo.
He cuidado que mi mirada no diga lo que ocurre, así que la oscura esperanza no pudo molestarme. Rápidamente, comprendí el significado de tus frases disfrazadas, de tus saludos deliciosos, de tu naturaleza admirable. Supe el porqué me había dirigido hacia tu jaula, para encerrarme con tiburones o mariposas. Me encontré rodeada de agujas, que franqueaban mi mente cada vez que un segundo transcurría. Me dí cuenta que esa tarde, iba a entregar algo más que una sonrisa. Yo iba a mostrar un mundo sin luz, con mis sombras.
Iba a aceptar que te amo.

No sé qué ocurrió ayer, pero el gesto de tus ojos que me escrutaban con tanta insistencia y tanta profundidad volvió a estremecer mi piel. No sé qué habría ocurrido si te hubiera hablado con palabras y no con directas miradas. Quizá, lo más probable, hubiera sido romper tu dulce corazón con una suave despedida, que me desgarra el corazón cada vez que se aproxima. Y empiezo a pensar en el día que vuelvo a tenerte cerca. Y ese día, nuevamente tiemblo ante tu presencia y no eres ajeno al sentimiento. Hoy saliste presuroso y enojado con todos por no dejarte a solas, mientras yo me quedaba atrás, ocultando la tristeza porque sé que no me es permitido amarte. Y no quiero despedirme de ti otra vez.
Crestfallen
Who am I
to need you when I'm down
and where are you
when I need you around
your life is not your own
and all I ask you
is for another chance
another way around you
to live by circumstance
once again
Who am I
to need you now
to ask you why
to tell you no
to deserve your love and sympathy
you were never meant to belong to me
and you may go
but I know you won't leave
too many years
built into memories,
your life is not your own
Who am I
to need you now
to ask you why
to tell you no
to deserve your love and sympathy
you were never meant to belong to me
Who am I to you?
along the way,
I lost my faith
(and as you were)
you'll be again
to mold like clay
to break like dirt
to tear me up
in your sympathy
you were never meant to belong to me
you were never meant to belong to me
you were never meant to belong to me
who am I
who am I
who am I
who am I
who am I
who am I
to need you when I'm down

Sutorio y zapatos rotos
Los miraba compasivo. Él pensaba en la tristeza que debía gobernar la vida de la persona que lucía tan feos zapatos. Quizá sentía lástima. O no, en vez de lástima, desprecio. ¿Cómo podía confundirse? Decidió sentir desprecio y cerró los ojos. Se fue a su casa y al llegar vio otros zapatos. Más bonitos, llenos de color, sin ningún daño. Pero había algo que no le gustaba, eran zapatos que tenían una forma extraña. Una altura inadecuada, excesiva quizá. También sintió desprecio por ellos. Los tiró a la basura. Se sonrió. Estaba feliz de poder deshacerse de los zapatos con tanta libertad y de juzgar a las personas que a diferencia de él, no podían hacerlo. Se alegró de no tener zapatos rotos ni amorfos y descubrió una vez más que lo mejor que le había pasado en su vida, era poseer ahora unas bases precisas. Todo era mejor ahora que ya no usaba zapatos. No los necesitaba, sus prótesis le habían quedado perfectas.(Acompañamiento:

If I had it all
Sometimes I can't move my feet it seems
as if I'm stuck in the ground somehow like a tree
as if I can't even breathe
and my screams come whispering out
as if nobody can even see me, like a ghost
sometimes I can't see myself sometimes
Then again if I were a king,
if I had everything
if I had you and I could give you your dreams
if I were giant size, on top of it all
then tell me what in the world would I sing for
if I had it all
Sometimes I feel lost
as I pull you out like strings of memories
wish I could weave them into you
and I could figure the whole damn puzzle out
Then again if I were a king,
if I had everything
if I had you and I could give you your dreams
if I were giant size, on top of it all
tell me what in the world would I go on for
if I had it all
I could take anything
if I had no greed to pay
only the poison that's tainting the clean
then nothing
remembering times
much younger than me now
when my breath was light
when the world raised me up kind
here mother comforts child
every moment was waking up
but now I've grown tired, yeah
if I had it all
you know, I'd fuck it up
If I were a king if I had everything
if I had you and I could give you your dreams

Alucinación

Hoy mi mirada se cruzó con los ojos más bellos que hace tiempo no encontraba en mi camino. Una poderosa sensación de admiración tomó posesión del momento y lo hizo su esclavo. La suavidad del saludo inundó el corazón de felicidad, pues aunque sabía que no me era permitido demostrarlo, sonrió mi mente. El eclipse se completó con el latido mutuo de nuevas esperanzas, como si en ese momento, la traición hiciera a un lado la tristeza, la espera. Una imagen de su creciente fragilidad me pedía a gritos que no la hiriera y así me volví sordo. Cuando me abrazó, la calidez de su alma embriagó mi cuerpo y sentí que podría nacer de nuevo mil veces más. Y sus manos, con la tibieza de sus manos me trató como un niño y me sentí amado. Una imagen inoportuna de su ausente mutismo me pedía que llorara. Y así me volví mudo. La grandeza de su meditación se perdía en paisajes movibles que se veían alterados por insectos y hojas. Sus movimientos suaves, tan delicados como su esencia, me hacían perder en un mar de esperanza. Una imagen apetecida de su alma suplicando afecto me pedía a gritos que la cubriera. Y así me volví insensible. Después de ese momento, la niña me visita todas las tardes y acoge mi duro y rígido cuerpo suplicándole a la imagen que vuelva a renacer. Y yo cierro mis ojos. Le temo a su mirada. ¿Cómo le explico yo que sólo soy un árbol?
