Soy

I am the womb of a mother
The shield of a sister
I’m the one who doesn’t beat around the bush
The sideways glance
The bag in the hallway to make it to bed on time

Abandon those who possess
And my breath is the most beautiful thing I can give to the air
And let it reach you and my parents
May it brush your neck and calm you

I’m the same one who messes up
The one with wild hair
And nature in the kitchen
Open the window and say hi to the neighbor
Say hi to the neighbor

But, sew my lips shut 'cause I don’t have the skill
To keep quiet when anxiety tightens
Get those hands off my chest
That burn, that burn, that burn

Sew my lips shut 'cause I don’t have the skill
To keep quiet when anxiety tightens
Get those hands off my chest
That burn, that burn, that burn

I’m the time that’s missing
That easterly wind that takes you to the beach
To be a girl, a castle, a quarter, grandma’s purse
Who knows what it’s like to live when it’s lacking

I’m the house without pajamas
The diva, the kid, the other, the fair without a goat
The one who knows more for what she keeps quiet
And carries it on her back
And carries it on her back

Sew my lips shut 'cause I don’t have the skill
To keep quiet when anxiety tightens
Get those hands off my chest
That burn, that burn, that burn

Sew my lips shut 'cause I don’t have the skill
To keep quiet when anxiety tightens
Get those hands off my chest
That burn, that burn, that burn

I’ll be everything but don’t tell me that
I’ll be everything but don’t tell me that
I’ll be everything, I’ll be everything but don’t tell me that

I’ll be everything but don’t tell me that
I’ll be everything but don’t tell me that
I’ll be everything, I’ll be everything but don’t tell me that

Sew my lips shut 'cause I don’t have the skill
To keep quiet when anxiety tightens
Get those hands off my chest
That burn, that burn.
