Cuando Baja La Marea

(EVERYONE)
air
(SWEET)
in this slow summer afternoon
your memory is a gray photo
that the hours are blurring
(CLAUDIA)
how difficult to draw your features
half a day after leaving
(ERIKA)
the mind when the tide goes down
out of pure instinct for self-preservation
tries to cauterize every trace
left behind by the passage of love
(YURIDIA)
the mind when the tide goes down
revealing the structure of pain
activates a defense mechanism
so the heart doesn't drown
(EVERYONE)
air, in this slow summer afternoon
your memory is a gray photo
that the hours are blurring
air, your features but I can hardly
how difficult it is to recognize
that you have barely left a mark, air
(CINTHIA)
I'm out of breath, I can't seem to find it
(ROSALIA)
oh barely outlined, oh no
(SILVIA)
I try to draw, no matter how hard I try
(LETICIA)
with everything we love, oh no
(TOÑITA)
now when the tide goes down
the shipwreck is complete
(EVERYONE)
what a shame
