Nubes de Humo

I don’t know where to look or what I might find
In the eyes of the people who don’t see me pass by
Blind to the way I crash in
The plot of a story I never belonged in

With just a blink, everything gets confusing
Because an eternity has passed, and it was just a minute
How can I not dream awake in a world so asleep?
Not a sum, just subtractions, and no one’s moved a bit

Oh, if not today, then when?
Has anyone noticed the silence inside me?
How many things did I miss out on, scared I’d get hurt?
The words left unspoken keep me from sleeping tonight

Clouds of smoke with no weight
We’re not always alone in the face of adversity
It was an agreement without a deal, a secret left untold

And what if the sunset didn’t want to fall?
I’d be left without witnesses, losing my own voice
In the day, my reflection shifts with the sunlight
And the nights remind me who I’ll be and where I’m going

Among voices, they only know how to shout, and the loudest one isn’t heard
And they tremble, hiding their fear of the wolves that are praising
I’m just a stranger wandering, invisible to the eye, weak to the touch
My shadow hugs me, it’s my company, even if I don’t feel it, I wouldn’t trade it

How many things did I miss out on, scared I’d get hurt?
The words left unspoken keep me from sleeping tonight
Everything always so deep, anchored in resentment
For not giving a little more, I’m the one who put myself here

Clouds of smoke with no weight
We’re not always alone in the face of adversity
It was an agreement without a deal, a secret left untold

Lives so far apart brought together for a reason
We’re so many pieces of the same heart
It’s what I tell myself that helps me heal
And just as I feel, thousands will feel too
