Merlí

Stupid, how can you be unique?
The shop windows scream in this city
Roaring from their cages, hysterical
If you step back a millimeter

Stupid, how can you be unique?
I know what you write when you lock yourself in your room
Besides, I caught you looking at me
If you're ready, let me know

And without instructions
Questions grow by the millions
What do we do?
Merlí, what do we do?
Live, live, live, kid!

I've wasted time
Looking in others
What doesn't let me be free
I've looked for excuses
Not to look
What's inside here

I see I'm not the only one
Who doesn't want to let
Their words die
On their lips

It sounds peripatetic
But honesty is a boomerang

When truths
Expose our vulnerabilities
What do we do?
Come on, Merlí, what do we do?
Laugh, laugh, laugh, kid!

I've wasted time
Looking in others
What doesn't let me be free
I've looked for excuses
Not to look
What's inside here

If it makes any sense, it might be
To find the difference
Between passing by and leaving a mark

I've wasted time
Looking in others
What doesn't let me be free
I've looked for excuses
Not to look
What's inside here

What's inside here
