I laugh away
At both death and life
And my visage
Is not morose
At them

I knew things beforehand,
I knew things after that hand,
Digging and clawing a way in the sand,
Looking for something to grab,
Safe for a second or two,
Drifting back to the old you,
Remebering when you were at your best,
And then falling in to your worst,
Can't stop this "curse."

Long beaks point skyward
Gleaming red and orange in the cold winter sun
Each of us in the midst of the harsh metal spikes
The beaks pick mercilessly at the sandstone walls
they built in glory
They built in blood
They constructed the veins which run through these fingers
A tight fist enveloping us in vice grip
While we cling tight,
Each too scared we might fall off
i need to learn how to say no
is it okay not to like it here?
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.
And then there's no good way to end things
Cause it's ending. Y'know?

Making love to you feels like you shot me in the throat,
That bulletproof glass broke,
You shot right through as if it was easy to you.
You said you love me and you showed me the proof,
All that's left is to just satisfy you.
Those radical change-agents Femen
set the men-folk to hawin' and hemin'.
When the girls bared their best
all the boys were impressed.
(Keep abreast of the movement, you womyn).
inspired by the radical Euro-feminist group
Love doesn't take two
I can love you all by myself
and I do...

Love doesn't take a million dollars
I can love you for free
but love is valuable...

Love doesn't take a lot of effort
I can love you easily
but it takes giving a part of yourself...

Love doesn't need a plan
I can love you with great spontaneity
but love takes passionate devotion...

Love doesn't require all your time
I can love you in the seconds of my day
but love takes a lifetime...
