Tequila envelhecida

Me doi uma dor de ter perdido alguém 
De ter perdido algo 
Um luto profundo e duradouro
Às vezes penso, me pergunto
Se fui eu que morri
E como poderia amar-me tanto
Que tal morte me dilacerou por completo
E então penso, quando, onde?
Tento recuperar fotografias,
Bordados, cheiros de mofo, 
Cheiros de passado,
Os brinquedos que sumiram,
As coisas jogadas fora,
O que queimou no fogo,
E o que morreu afogado
Talvez eu tenha tempo demais
Ou talvez eu esteja pra além
De algo a ser salvo
Quanto mais vasculho, reviro
O sótão e os livros velhos
O cheiro de poeira e ácaro,
O cheiro de metal e água
Eu sei que há rastros 
Que alguém viveu
E o tempo devorou
Feito fogo engolindo florestas
Eu penso no que sobrou
E se eu tenho como encontrar a trilha
Mas é inevitável perder-se
Com tantas falhas, com tantas placas derrubadas
Com tantas marcas no chão; e tantas que seguiram a direção errada
Quanto mais falhas, maior a falta
Quanto mais procuro, mais cavo
E a dor se espalha por mim
Como um veneno, septicemia
Algo que borbulha minhas veias por dentro
E fisga meus órgãos como uma adaga
Eu tento segurar firme em minhas próprias mãos
E continuar buscando
Se eu parar, tenho medo
Do que me sobraria
Do que eu poderia fazer
Tenho medo
Do que vai acontecer se eu continuar procurando
Se eu encontrar
Se não encontrar
O mistério me come viva
O que ainda me restou pra ser
No fim do dia
Quando eu escuto minha voz
Quando eu escuto as várias
Eu sei
Que nada no mundo é maior 
Que minha solidão
Mesmo que o silêncio nunca venha
Ela vai me matar de qualquer jeito
O fim do dia me traz
A esperança de findar também

it'll eat me up alive

I try to freeze the flames
That corrode me inside out
But the ice cream melts
As soon as it touches my skin

I'm not her, I wasn't born

When I first opened my eyes
I looked at you,
And you passed out
I wonder if it was right then
That you figured out, 
I was sent to be the end of you

You shot me in the dark
I tried to hold your hand
And ask you for help
Hoping that you'd hold me tight 
But you pulled the trigger instead.

You look at me
Like I'm not supposed to be
Like it's me vs you
But I didn't come, only to become
The hug of a coffin
And the dirt that'll cover up your grave.

I wasn't born as a fire
To burn you to ashes,
And weight you into the depths of the ocean

When I opened my eyes
Yet before I was blind
I tried to love you
But you loved the idea of death
Way too much, 
To let me be
Anyone else.

If I ever was

If I ever were to kill myself

I wouldn't tell you

I wouldn't write a letter

I wouldn't say goodbye

I would just 

Vanish

And hope that you'd forget

I ever was

Mirror, mirror, anyone but yours

I'm happy when you're gone
But then 
I'm scared you won't come back
I ask myself, am I afraid 
To lose your loveless love?
Or that you might
Drag me with you 
Into your grave?

It could be both

You hear my silence
And you shoot me back
Like it's a big offense
You hit me with opinions,
Opinions and more opinions
Like I'd care, like
I wouldn't 
Nothing very rational,
It's all just vibes 
— God,
I hate your fucking vibes —
You smell of carbon monoxide
For reference, it doesn't;
But that's exactly
What will kill you.

I come around, sweet and fluffy
Like that pillow you end up kicking
To the floor
Because you never use
And it's taking up space
And yet,
It emanates its past,
Proving you wrong.

You build a wall,
One minute, easy to assemble 
I know it took a while
But you nailed it,
You found a way to build a fucking wall
But only when I try to reach you.
A masterpiece of abandonment, 
One could say.
Resourceful, even.

I sit, mouth open
I wait for directions
Arf, arf
Opinions,
I expect,
But silence.
Dead silence, 
I mean,
You move your arm,
Small gesture
Showing me the invisible
Glass, I fail to notice on my own,
(While it's built with intention;)
And then you close the window.

I think, 
What am I doing here?
What's my purpose?
Why do I feel at fault
For something I'm not even sure that happened
Why am I standing, watching the silence
The invisible,
Tasting my life 
Dripping through my tongue
Wetting the floor
Waiting for me to slip, 
and crack my head wide open,
Finally.
Why do I live, if not to die?

You cry,
It hurts my ears
I try to cover them up
Someone demands me to listen
After all,
You need your body-double
Again, 
I am expected
To reflect you, as a blank canvas
I'm nothing but refraction
And light doesn't speak.
I am supposed to disarm
The bomb you raised
To become
I am the bomb you've raised to become
But I'm supposed to disarm it
Do you see where I'm going?

There's no exit
There's no "out"
There's no me

Just vibes
Horrible fucking vibes.

I never meant for you to starve

Hoje é dia de polícia e ladrão
I'll let you out of the cage,
But if you run, I'll hunt you down
Eu não gosto de ser policial
But I need to keep us safe
Still, you deserve some sun
And you deserve some cake
Mother's day is coming, 
Happy birthday,
I'm still trying my best
Mesmo sendo obrigado
A ser o carcereiro.

Thankful

I wish I could be thankful
But you made it so hard for me
How could I thank someone
Who puts their life in danger
Choosingly, and repeatedly
And blames it on me?
I never asked for any of this
You chose for yourself
And for me
You chose for us both
To die.
