January
I would have peace if there was no blood
If the heart couldn't work
I would forget everything from the beginning
And live my whole life without thinking
I wouldn't take so many pills
I would erase what they gave me to smoke
Maybe everything would make some sense
Maybe what is felt can be erased
Erase from your heart
The marks of a time ago
And know that I don't know how to live
With the damage that time does
I try to hide in the open air
And have close by those who hug me without asking
The pills don't understand me
And I don't forget what I paid to erase
I wish I were in your place now
Just to understand what it's like to be in my place
I wish I were in your place now
Just to understand what it's like to see me from the outside
Tell me you don't want to leave
That you have the key to enter
That you solved the equation
That you know how to get me out of the depths
And you know how to save me from the world
Even though I can walk, run, and fly, I don't move
Everything you are to me, removes the dagger from my heart
And takes death out of my life.
I would have peace if there was no blood
If the heart couldn't work
