Catene

Missing the happy ending, there's no reason
Even the open sea today seems like a prison
Someone on the phone asks me: How are you?
I reply: All good, even though I don't know who you are

Can't find the chords or even the words
Time always travels in one direction
While in the opposite you only find rubble
The old ones know well, it's better not to go there

Since grandma died, it seems like cruelty
My father was reborn, with a more serene face
Perhaps the chain that united them in pain
Broke among the waves of their storm

I wanted to tell her, I wanted to scream
In front of everyone in that hospital room
That finally free she could fly
But I fell asleep with the aftermath of the funeral

You don't die of love, you die without giving love
I've always received it but I don't know how to reciprocate
You've been telling me for a while now that I need to work on it
But the more I work on it, the more you try to escape

Hating oneself for the same reasons
That make children hate their parents
That make lovers hurt each other
Only to forget and start over

My mother had a dream where this man
Told her to talk to me before dying
So today she wrote to me: Even if you still don't believe
You were my best Christmas gift

I wanted to tell her, I wanted to scream
That I've always known despite the pain
Even when she came back destroyed from work
Even when we yelled at each other against all the evil
If I can't give love, if I can't talk about it
Inside a guitar
I tried to imagine
