Please Bleed

Make me feel like a beggar
Make me feel like a thief
Make me feel like a battle, that cannot end in peace
Make me feel like running, as if I've lost my nerve
Make me feel like crying, tears I don't deserve

Please bleed
So I know that you are real
So I know that you can feel
The damage that you've done
Who have I become
To myself I am none
I am none I am none

Is this really living sometimes it's hard to tell
Or is this a kind of gentler hell
Turn out the lights
And let me stare into your soul
I was born and bled for you old

Please bleed
So I know that you are real
So I know that you can feel
The damage that you've done
Who have I become
To myself I am none
I am none
I am none


Never said thank you
Never said please
Never gave reason to believe
So as it stands I remain on my knees
Good lovers make great enemies

Please bleed
So I know that you are real
So I know that you can feel
The damage that you've done
Who have I become
To myself I am none
I am none
I am none

O aperto

O aperto de não te ter, aperto de te perder, aperto de não te compreender
Aperto de ter aperto por te ter.

Aperto de te ter apertado, entalado entre o racional e o emocional.
Aperto por ter medo que te sintas um dia apertado demais em mim.

Aperto que quero manter
No lado que é para apertar,
Com muito cuidado e atenção
No cofre forte (apertadas as porcas e os parafusos) do meu coração.
