Love Is The Law

Love is the law, I hear them saying
Love is the law, I hear them saying
And i have no jurisdiction standing up for my rights
I have no jurisdiction endorsing my fights

Twenty-One

21 and out of reach
Reading out loud the pages of a magazine
For girls, cause I am a girl
It’s getting hard to believe
That I deserve more than a faded dream
That’s locked and weak and lacks of air
Twenty first year, twenty first time I’m shy
For blowing my candle
I’m shy, in public
Covert overt, that’s the main deal
I’m wringing my hands while I talk dear
I am tossing, turning, twirling, toddling
Cover overt, that’s the main deal
I bet you think I’m calm and tidy
I’m volcanic
With the back of my hand I sketch a hundred people
In ink, while I thought I was lonely
I was a number on the list
In a generation of misfits
And things moved on and I left my gods
Oh alegría …

Tightrope Walking
04:49
|

// Between the skin and the flesh, there’s some space left
Some very soft pieces of meat
Between the panes of my windows and the noise of the town
There’s a voice, humming around, urging me to escape soon
You’ve got to pick that other road, design it, shape it, build it gracefully
And ultimately let the sun in
Between the floorboards and the crust, there’s a heart beating for more
Sometimes I really have to lend an ear
Sometimes I swear I can’t hear my heart beat
Those days I have to walk more, talk more
Make peace with yourself first
Walk more, talk more, make peace with yourself at last //
But you end it before it starts
And there’ll be no line-crossing,
No tightrope walking
In the first chapter and in the following pages
The man that is a lonesome wolf he doesn’t play it safe
He’s a gambler
Now he’s got an issue he should make his point home
Now he’s got to make his point home
I’m 48 now, I’ve been dating a woman
She’s got the style, the grace and the crown
And now she’s got an issue she should bring it
Bring it home
// At night I see a train, and it’s taking me
From the window to the ground and I jump
Cause I want to wake up //
I’m 48 now, I’ve been dating a woman
She’s got the style, the grace and the crown
And now she’s got an issue she should bring it
Bring it home
But she ends it before it starts
And there’ll be no line-crossing,
No tightrope walking

Independent Mind
04:03
|
|||
Useless strings on a piece of wood
That rust in the wind, untune in the night
Asleep I don’t realize
The shapes and nails
The waves
The rust of the strings that I used to know so well
I used to know so well
To know so well
Unvoiced sounds, locked in the sigh
It breathes, pushes and shouts like a baby
I forgot how to
Shut, shut the voice
Leave, leave the rest
And the rest of us are trying to find a voice, a voice
Independent mind…
Mind…
(I have a lot on my mind, the trouble is inside)

Jeans
03:58

Tonight I’m having trouble sleeping
Cause I can’t rest my head over the thought of you
The whole day entangled in my sheets
What on earth am I going to do with this life?
You came and turned the light on, I was wrong to make so much room for you
I was over and out for quite some time
But the thought, the thought, the thought
Well it takes a thought to ruin the sharp and healthy reasons you had built for yourself
It takes a sharp delusion to lose count, and I lost count on my own
It takes too many miles to realize that you packed your sorrow
Right next to those jeans of yours you think fit you the best
I swear those jeans of yours, they truly fit you the best
Tonight I’m having trouble planning for a future I no longer wanna work for
I was the best employee, where’s my degree?
Please look up to me
I never came to be paid but
I was wrong to believe you’d leave me
Without some kind of treat, some kind of special leave
A bitter taste
Well you win I have not, I will not
Will you will you?
…ever forget
In two month time, when I’ve moved out and started over,
Will you say those words, like “I never thought we’d be strangers so fast”?
And “we cut the bonds so efficiently”
Professionals, professionals, professionals
Tonight…
Well it takes a thought to ruin the sharp and healthy reasons you had built for yourself
It takes a sharp delusion to lose count, and I lost count on my own
It takes too many miles to realize that you packed your sorrow
Right next to those jeans of yours you think fit you the best
I swear those jeans of yours, they truly fit you the best

Bright Side
03:13

Looking on the bright side, the body is alive
Looking on the bright side, the body is alive and bleeding
// I think that you should dance, I think that you are the boss of you //

You Will Never
04:18
|

I will never sleep again, you will never…
Hear my breathe widen and expand wildly
I have no farewell to say, you will not know me then…
In all my teenage moods
I took the long way towards your door
I left a note, it reads just like:
“I don’t know who you’ve been and the feelings involved
But I thank you for the stroll and the sight
The stroll and the sight.”
I will never love again the way I’ve loved
You have drawn your heart across my skin, my skin, my skin, my skin
Go fetch the cat so late at night
Go feed them right or I will get no sleep
I will give up the ghost from your absence around me
I will shake hands
You will never sleep again
I cast a spell on you
