This One Flees


If I stopped changing today
I surely wouldn't live long,
but I've got nothing to say
and, when I say it, it's wrong.

I'm leaving just for a while,
I hope you all understand.
For some, I leave you a smile,
I'll do the best that I can.

I know I'm not saying something,
I just don't know what it is,
but if I leave only one thing,
I'm gonna make sure it's this:

I love you all very much,
I love all the memories,
but life, it ends up as such
while some will stay, this one flees.

Ojos del tiempo


Hoy en tus ojos vi la gloria deseada
y al heleno que la eternidad ideara.
Tardía, a veces necesita la melancolía
de un abrazo genuino o de un beso prohibido
para crear lo que en los insomnios se desea.
La noche de tus ojos 
desaforados gigantes crea…
 
Un rifle que no dispara no sirve de nada
ni la musa que a su poeta le niega la mirada.
Vi sangre y amor en la arena de una tierra lejana.
Desde el alba ese mirar tuyo me destierra.
Hay silencios que torturan más que otros,
los ojos se te van como los billetes en la guerra…
 
Tomo, pensando follar con la memoria;
del remoto ayer, hoy su musa la reclamo.
No hay historia ni fabula detrás de su hermosura.
El tiempo no para, 
su mustia paciencia me tortura.
Vi bengalas destellar más que los astros
pero ella me dijo que ya no me amaba;
el desierto y sus dunas 
me despiden con aplausos.
Que torpe es creer que el tiempo regresa,
pero aun así me arrastra y cumple lo que profesa.
La memoria es porosa y aún
así no la deshecho de mi disco duro…
 
Hay amores distópicos con altos muros;
cada amor es una mitología que creamos;
somos imperfectos dioses y amamos lo que ideamos;
erigimos pedestales que ni de coña escalamos
por eso derribamos lo que siempre adoramos.
Mi escalera jamás te alcanza
pesa más el amor ajeno que el propio en la balanza.
La mente no es más que un fantasma que siempre duerme
y despierto con pesadas cadenas en mi frente…
 
Es el tiempo tiempo, es el tiempo que no muere
soy yo el que muere sabiendo que existe el tiempo...
 
Yo no pedí existir y ahora desaparezco.
Siempre tu desdén me da lo que merezco
y me acecha de prisa cuando combato indefenso.
La breve eternidad no es más que tu sonrisa
del tiempo pasajero y el tiempo que duele tanto
existo y no existo porque no pienso que pienso
mi realidad no es más que el reflejo de tus ojos abiertos...

When It Starts


Through
the sky they fall;
please, tell me why,
why do they all
continue to die?

Explosions began any kind of action,
ruled under one benefitting faction,
throwing at us so many distractions
to cover they're, oh, so hasty reaction.
They say I'm unpatriotic not supporting the cause,
when the cause of all our problems are the patriot laws;
instead of "protection" from all the "terrorist" threat
give us all free medical, education, and less debt.
Billions of dollars sent to countries we destroyed,
no money kept here for the ones who need employed.
Two years spent in the sand and again deployed,
won't ever get to hold the hand of his baby boy.
I'm so sick of this shit and I hope you all are too!
Whatever happened to our good Ole Red, White and Blue?
It's crazy because I'm starting to ask myself the question:
What if what the whole world's saying is true?

Enough crying there's people dying,
we may never see the end, but it won't stop me from trying
to figure out why it is that this country
can't see that all of its politicians have been lying.
I heard a man say that this is all a big plan,
that liberation's not the reason we're going for Iran,
Iraq, Afghanistan, it doesn't really matter,
just as long as those assholes wallets keep getting fatter.

World War 3 won't be labeled until it's done!
How much longer will we keep letting them have their fun?
Leaving our problems to be dealt with for our young,
it's like handing a little kid a fuckin' loaded gun!
React too slow and it will be too late.
They'll start in the courts, yeah, then through your front gate.
So many people call it crazy, shit, I wish he was kidding.
He said, "we won't see it coming if it starts in the city!"

We won't see it coming if it starts in the city!
We won't see it coming when it starts in the city!

No, we won't see it coming.
We'll never ever see it coming...
