Pessoas Sentidas

Words are rare but when you face the situation
You fake a smile and don’t stop even hearing that no
And since the day the magic didn’t spark in your mind
You had the guts to create something you didn’t want at the time
And so I see you, sitting in a chair alone
Trapped in a separate world, drawing in the dust on your own
And fingers more yellowed than your wedding band
And the bottles that are empty are more than hope can stand
So you close the door and forget another day
You push away the good vibes and kiss apathy away
You’re focused on the drink, you don’t think about giving in
And treatments for what? Just need to want to begin
Live what you once dreamed you’d get to live
Have a house, have a car, to match what you want to give
Don’t stop thinking of the sun even when it’s pouring rain
No one rises without first having to feel the pain

And all your life gets summed up
On a burnt-up page
Short but long (but long)

You just want to go out at night and wait for dawn to break
Lean against a column and meet new faces for your sake
Not stuck at square one with your heart racing fast
You’re clinging to a bottle, not knowing what’s in the glass
The neurons you’ve killed will flow back in your mind
But don’t think you’re free, you’re still on trial this time
I spend my life advising you not to jump from the ledge
Even with a door beside you, you want to go through the edge
We’re growing up, man, gotta get your head straight
Virtues and attitudes fade but your smile won’t abate
When you cast the spell, something strange came to be
In an unexpected moment, your wand broke, you see
And there were cups and cigarettes resting on your table
The frog you enchanted never turned into a fable
You didn’t think, you stopped, created another sorrow
And you sway with bad thoughts in your head, oh tomorrow
Don’t try to give words to someone who won’t hear
Don’t run from the monster, lies have short legs, my dear
I’ll live my life, the day that I die
My eyes are made of fire, not the earth that’ll make them cry
Even if you cry, smile, just to be someone new
Even if I fall, I fell, at least I tried to push through
Even if the battle ends, it’s not you who surrenders
Learn from what you live, never live from what you remember

And all your life gets summed up
On a burnt-up page
Short but long (but long)
