Legião Urbana
Clarisse
I'm tired of being
Vilified, misunderstood and discarded
Who says they understand me?
I never wanted to know
That boy was admitted to a clinic
They say that due to lack
Attention
From friends
From memories
Of dreams that are sad and inert
Like a still hourglass
Don't move
Does not move
Does not work
And Clarisse is locked in the bathroom
And leaves marks on your body
With his little pocket knife
Lying in a corner, her ankles bleed
And the pain is less
From what it looks like
When she cuts herself
She forgets
That it is impossible to have from life
Calm and strength
Living in pain
What nobody understands
Try to be strong
At each and every dawn
One of your friends is already gone
When another police occurrence
Nobody understands me
Don't look at me like that
With this good Samaritan face
Doing your duty
As if I were sick
As if all this pain was different
Or non-existent
Nothing exists for me, don't try
You don't know and you don't understand
And when antidepressants
And the tranquilizers
They no longer have any effect
Clarisse knows
That madness is present
And feel the strange essence
What is death?
But this emptiness
She knows very well
From time to time
It's a new treatment
But the world
It's always the same
The fear of going home at night
Men who rub themselves disgustingly
On the way to and from school
The lack of hope and the torment
Knowing that nothing is fair
And little is certain
And that we are destroying the future
And that evil is always around here
The violence and injustice that exists
Against all girls and women
A world where the truth is the opposite
And joy no longer has an address
Clarisse is locked in her room
With your records and your books
Your tiredness
I am a bird
They lock me in the cage
And they expect me to sing like before
I am a bird
They lock me in the cage
But one day I can resist
And I will fly along the most beautiful path
Clarisse is only 14 years old
