Flotante

They have taught me very well to try to be the best
And very little to know what I want or if I want to be the best
And I hated what I loved the most just because I wasn't capable of doing it.

It was the lighthouse and it was no longer there
It's been weird
Feeling so useless while they asked for the piece of me
What was I missing?
I can touch it and notice the giant hole
Swallows nested under my floating ribs

You can see me functioning well, almost like a human
But look and you will see that there is no blood left
That nothing beats hidden among so much meat
I can use my eyes, look, but not find you
If I continue without breathing
I can not love you

I had a plan for us
We would be happy in my home
It was going to be beautiful

Forgive me
I turned you into a father, into a husband
I asked you (I asked you)
The mid-afternoon dust
I demanded you
love at all hours
I wanted even more from you

That you would look at me, kiss me
Exactly like that
I asked you to stay here, by my side
I have loved you as one only loves a slave
