Cafecito Quemado

The rent was left unpaid and a change of clothes at the Chinese store
He sold his motorcycle and stepped on his phone
But before that, he called the office
He wasn't good at goodbyes
But to the boss in the end
It was a special greeting
He left his father's last name on an old receipt
And the sober cheap tie on the LED lamp
And the miles from so much work he exchanged for
Looking from below, who could know
What comes next

Rise, rise, rise, rise
The tide over the wooden clouds
Marijuana and marzipan
A solitary spark ignites a prairie
I'm out of the system
I'm no longer part of the plan

On the way to oblivion
He passed by her house
And standing in the middle of the street
He sang the song
That they once sang drunk
And now angers the trash cans
But his Juliet didn't appear
On the edge of the map, he waited
For an empty beach
A love from Ipanema
A bonfire with zenithal light
A bar with twenty bottles
A night burned with stars
And the brutal luck of starting over

Rise, rise, rise, the tide rises
Over two girls on the sand
Who don't hide when they kiss
They cross without looking at the parallel lines
Each one what they desire
They can't negotiate

The days on the calendar turned red
The cups of disinterest filled with grace
He forgot all the passwords
While burning the firewood
And to think that he treated
Power with respect
He left the cowardly presenteeism
To his invisible friend
And the damn desk with a view
Of the sad wall
And he exchanged the burnt coffee
For the air we don't breathe
Who could know
What comes next

Rise, rise, rise, the tide rises
Through impossible stairs
That come from the depths of the sea
You can't build without a fight
Paradise flickers, all I have left is to sing
All I have left is to sing

That I wait for you, on the other side of fear
But if you see that I don't arrive
Wait for me
I wait for you, on the other side of fear
But if you see that I don't arrive
Wait for me
Because I see
I wait for you, on the other side of fear
But if you see that I don't arrive
Wait for me
Because I see
I wait for you, on the other side of fear
But if you see that I don't arrive
Wait for me
Wait for me
