Castelo Triste

There, Edu, I'd rather not have woken up
I dreamt I was a player scoring a goal in the stadium
I ran like a sprinter after the ball
Without needing to be pushed in a wheelchair
I was born dead like in an Agatha Christie novel
Confined in the dungeon of the sad castle
Only if I were Hitler in another life
To have atrophied muscles as punishment
That's a sentence for a rapist, a fucking politician
For the cop who puts evidence in the blouse pocket
It's humiliating you cleaning me, changing my clothes
Giving me a bath, food, water in my mouth
The kids my age are skateboarding in the halfpipe
In the breakdance circle, doing the dance moves at the party
While they unhook their girlfriend's bra
I, with a body with bedsores, dream of a waterbed
On my birthday, I ruined the party
It upset me not having the strength to blow out the candle
Nor to balance on a soapbox God left
To help my mom by selling stickers in the subway
I wish she was listening to Roberto, not the market security guard
"Don't bother the customers" asking for change
I left school without reading, without knowing multiplication
Defeated by the laughter of the students who looked at me like an aberration

Throw the last flower
Don't cry when the coffin leaves
It's the drawbridge of the sad castle
Lowering for me to escape

The world worships the idolatry of the perfect body
Throws the defective human in the psychiatric hospital
Without triage, selection, diagnosis
Mentally ill, physically, hearing impaired in a warehouse
A vegetable with a geriatric diaper is disposable to the family
But not your retirement card
Hey, prejudiced asshole, Beethoven was deaf
Stevie Wonder is blind and enchants the audience
After Einstein, the brightest physicist on the planet
Stephen Hawking, the mathematician trapped in a chair
Here they give you a reserved parking space
But no job to buy the adapted car
I hated going to USP for hydrotherapy
The whole bus cursing as the ramp went up
March 26, 1995
I wanted to dismember the screenwriter of my destiny
Fuck, God, wasn't it good enough for me in bed paralyzed?
Did you have to give my mom a heart attack?
I couldn't go to the stadium, fly a kite, ride a bike
Even to put a flower on the coffin, they put me on someone's lap
What's the catch, am I your lab rat?
Are you testing how much hatred a heart can hold?
Bonnie can't live without Clyde, nor the verse without the poet
Romeo can't live without Juliet and I can't live without her

Throw the last flower
Don't cry when the coffin leaves
It's the drawbridge of the sad castle
Lowering for me to escape

Coughing up blood, fever, throat inflammation
Edu, forget 192 and the damn ambulance
Arrive at the ER, it's IV fluids and inhalation
Released in the early morning to return without a bus
The intern who attends as a general practitioner
Prescribes for a leper: Aspirin and Melhoral
After 6 attempts, hospitalized with pneumonia
Edu slept on the floor for 20 days as a companion
Businessman wants his brand to lead in commerce?
Advertise on the program that ridicules the quadriplegic
Tears in the audience, sound effects that move
Melodramatic presenter, instead of a prosthesis, gains ratings
Bro, go to AACD before the crash, the mixed
See how many years of physiotherapy for one step
See how many speech therapy sessions for one word
See already in the Paralympics the overcoming for the medal
The ugly duckling didn't turn into a swan like in the library book
Died after being discharged from medical negligence
For the first time treated without discrimination
I waited 18 hours for the coroner
Don't cry, Edu, heaven exists and I'm happy to go there
If I can't step on the clouds, angels have wings to fly
Sad is the one who stays between prejudice, crutches, amputations
Just don't forget to put the Gaviões jacket in the coffin
