Despedida

Father, I give you these heretical desires of sleep
Where I know you
Father, dismiss stillness bless my endeavor
I will leave
I am much of what you tried
But a bit of my time
My voice doesn't deceive you
I am from the same mountain as you
But I dwell in the lee

Look closely
You can see
This thirst for stars in my heart
And hear
A scream trying to be a conversation
I can provide
Elements
Feeling fire inside me
How do I free myself from this bitter
Burden
How do I not make life
Farewells
How much forgetting fits in goodbye
How much? How much? How much?
How much?
But, how much?
How much?

Earth, always lying beneath the tree
I will wake up
Like a shadow that knows of whom and of no one
I will be there
And in the heights of your voice
I will await my time
In case someone comes to take away what is yours and mine
Or to break your will

Look closely
You can see
This thirst for stars in my heart
And hear
A scream trying to be a conversation
I can provide
Elements
Feeling fire inside me
How do I free myself from this bitter
Burden
How do I not make life
Farewells
How much forgetting fits in goodbye
How much?

If I never told you about loneliness
Just the appetite for a better life
I will lick my wound
Not a cry
Not a 'don't go'
Not a moan
Look for your wind
I will never speak of my lament
Look closely
You can see
This thirst for stars in my heart
And hear
A scream trying to be a conversation
I can provide
Elements
Feeling fire inside me
How do I free myself from this bitter
Burden
How do I not make life
Farewells
How much forgetting fits in goodbye
How much? How much? How much?
My voice doesn't deceive you
How much? How much? How much?
How much forgetting fits in goodbye
