BROKEN

When you can feel the pain

That physical pain that involves no muscles

An unbelievable pain of the soul

The excruciating storm that navigates the mind

With the uncontrollable sensation of having lost everything

But incomprehensible to the rest of the world around

Think for just a moment, you’re not alone.

Because it irritates more when you suffer in loneliness

Even with a thousand people surrounding you now

Knowing that they don’t understand your bitterness

And they feel annoyed by your arrogance and misery

They soon forget no one is immune

One way or another, the agony will take us all

Harassing us until death, we know we can’t escape

Believe me old friend and when you are looking in the mirror

Know without doubt that I always be there

Ready to hear you

When you can feel that pain.

DEPARTURES

I don’t want to get up

I want to lay like the night hasn’t ended

Relieved of my dreams never reached

Be loved as I never was

And believe that is real.

I don’t want to get up

I want to feel the silk on my body

Keep my eyes closed and see what I want

A different world and a different time

And believe that is real.

I don’t want to get up

I want to think that if I stay still

If I’m capable of creating a different reality

I won’t be hurt this time as badly

And still believe that is real.

I don’t want to get up

I don’t want to go back to the lost days

I don’t want to remember that it is too late

To change what I did and who I am

And still believe that is real.

I don’t want to get up

I don’t want to open my eyes

I don’t want to ever talk

Of my pain and my scars

And still believe that is real.
