Se Correr o Bicho Pega

I thought about running from myself
But wherever I went, I was there
The more I ran
The closer I got

When the heel arrived
The big toe had already gone
I found myself hiding
And found myself hidden
I only know that when I think I know
I no longer know who I am
I'm tired of finding myself in the place
Wherever I go, I am

I thought about running from myself...

I'm thinking about taking a vacation from myself
But I also want to go
I'll only go if my shadow doesn't go
If it goes, I'll stay here
One of these days dreaming
I thought: I won't wake up
I'll let myself sleep
And I'll get up to celebrate

I thought about running from myself...

The mirror told me
There's only one way to deal with it
There's no point in wanting to die
Because if you die, it goes along
If you run, the bug catches
But if you clean up, the bug disappears
You have to untangle
The man's life's yarn
