intro (cross)
01:46
|
|

|
the book of lies lays behind me
as the crossroads opens ahead
and my left hand points the way
and i know the other path will lead nowhere
the cross begs me to think again
i don't turn to look or speak
i won't be there to be its saviour
for my strength is what makes it weak
the morning star shines on my path
my steps are now firm and strong
and life awaits at the end of the road
though now i must walk alone

roads
03:30
|
|

|
the trail of blood i left behind
was washed away by the morning rain
the cuts that were made in my feet
were healed and left no pain
and those who claimed to walk near me
will never know all the roads i took to get here
and those who claimed to walk near me
will never know all the roads i took to get here
the voice i had said nothing
until i taught it to sing its own song
the smile i had was never real
until i found what brouhgt me a real one
and those who claimed to love all of me
will never know why i sought to be free
and those who claimed to love all of me
will never know why i sought to be free

fly away from me
02:49
|
|

|
fly away from me
lift your feet off the ground
take the memories i have of you
and never come back around
fly away from me
i'm taking back the time
i wasted caring about you
and putting it back in my life
i'll throw away into the wind
the ashes of what we were
i'll never let you back in here
the door is closed, you're out, just
fly away from me
fly away from me
i'm closing my old wounds
know that my care for you has
sunken into the ground
i'll throw away into the wind
the ashes of what we were
i'll never let you back in here
the door is closed, you're out, just
take the memories with you

flowers will bloom again

every time it's the same shit, i know
everything comes at once to bring me down
people like you who said they'd die for me
but scorned me when i became who i am now
i know the truth, you can't hide it
the only reason you want me dead
is because you're afraid to live
'cause you see happiness as a crime, like that
you can try all you want to scare me with death
but it will never be enough to change me
you tried and failed to poison my hope
and you will never destroy my dreams
and flowers will bloom again
my garden will rise after each rain
and don't you think i'll cry for you
and don't you think i'll cry for you

butterflies
02:52
|
|
||
|
dark lipstick, long sleeve black dress
do you make me real or was i always myself?
are the things i've been doing lately
really freeing me or were these chains never there?
dozens of butterflies are here now
so many colors i never saw before
now that they roam free around me
now that there's so many more
am i becoming like them?
are my wings breaking through my skin?
is it free flight that awaits me too?
is it reality and no longer a dream?

look around
02:53
|
|
||
|
look around and you won't see
but infinite movements pass you by
every second is impossible to count
but every second is made of new life
every cell of your body is an universe
how many universes create you?
are any of these universes made of
what once made a killer and its victim too?

olhos

|

fechei os olhos uma noite de meus dez anos
e quando os abri
outros dezessete haviam somado
e se apoderado de mim
os medos de minha infância agora
eram fragmentos apagados
e o medo do futuro me corroía
junto a lembranças
do passado
eu acordei e vi ao meu redor um nada
em tudo que me cercava
era em meu peito que habitava o tudo
que matinha viva minha alma
senti algo que palavras jamais explicariam um dia
mas o que importa
se no corpo adulto que sou
a esperança de criança
ainda mora

the winds may blow forever
but i won't leave unless i need to
the winds may try to scatter
all my dreams, but i won't let it happen
i know i'm not going nowhere
unless it's the right time
and i won't be dragged around
by no one else in any world
i won't live my life
by the designs of no one
i won't give my life away
i will bow for no one
'cause i won't live my life
as the fallen leaf no more
'cause i'm no longer the white hair
which fell on the snow out of sight
i am my own saviour
i am my own hero
i am my own saviour
now and forever more

flores nunca vistas
03:04

|

|
eu invejo, não nego, o vento
que toca seus cabelos e os faz dançar
e tudo que sou capaz de imaginar
é como eles ficam espalhados sobre o travesseiro
toda tarde, verdade, não invento
vejo o sol se por bem lentamente
e tudo que chega e ocupa minha mente
são sonhos de um futuro que quero verdadeiro
mãos dadas, uma casa, seu sorriso
dormir e acordar ao seu lado
e sentir em meu corpo descansado
a paz que tanto busquei, e que nunca antes tinha visto

so there i was.
i have no idea how i arrived at that place, but there i was.
to one side, a giant house - not in height, but in extension.
i couldn't see where it ended.
i tried to find a way out.
all i found, instead, was a vast space.
as if the house wasn't big enough already, it was surrounded by a vast, grassy landscape.
i thought, "okay, i can exit through here."
but there were fences with barbed wire, through which i couldn't pass.
and the highest spots... though i could reach them, they were impossible to cross as well.
shards of broken glass which i couldn't jump over.
with no choice, i knocked on the house's door, deathly afraid of being mistaken for a criminal.
instead, a kind looking woman opened the door.
i explained my situation.
"can you show me the exit?"
and she said, "of course. come with me."
she took me through a corridor, and there was a door at the end.
when she opened it, i was in a street near where i live.
as i thanked her and stepped outside, she said:
"you're welcome to visit me whenever you want."
i thanked her again and we said goodbye to each other.
but when i was a few steps away, i turned to look at the house.
and i could only think one thing:
"something tells me i won't ever find this house again."

to be close to you
02:52

|

awake late at night
aware of my beating heart
and dreaming
of your warm touch in my skin
laying alone
longing for you, my only one
as the rain
lulls me to sleep and dream again
