i was lost,
and Jesus found me.
even when i wasn't looking to be found.
now hallelujah, for He persists to share Himself with you too.
Cada vez mais me cansa existir
Bate-se-me em ânsia o coração
Todo o café não me livra do cansaço
Que trazem as noites sem dormir
Por sonhos temorosos atormentada.

Sinto nos olhos o pesar da vida
Que penso demais para poder viver.
Sinto da alma um distanciar imenso
Cada vez mais incerta do que é ser.

Pudesse eu saber os murmúrios do destino
O que me guarda o fado, o porquê
Da demora do sossego fugido.

Pudesse eu não tanto pensar
Ouvir cantar as musas (onde estão?)
Fazer deste corpo um lar.

ghost queen
all and everything burns around us
a wall of flames consuming the world
a personal hell projected into reality
a final reckoning for our collective sins
none are absolved not even the innocent
an angel’s dream the beginning of the end
overwhelmed wrung out by the quotidian
too tired to fight too tired to care
we lay down and wait our turn to die
I got no time for hate
it’s a heavy weight

I actually could,
but it’s no good

and even if I don’t like you
I still wish you great
everyone has their fate

I’m too busy living my life
too happy to be alive

so you can leave,
there is the door
’cause I’m too busy loving the ones
my heart beats for.

Dare to be
Dare to live
Dare to love
Dare to dream
Dare to fly
Dare to challenge yourself
Dare to believe that you are extraordinary
