Hope

I used to have a hope to keep
Now everyday feels like a pin
It’s a new bump, a new defeat
(She said)
"Everything’s forced when nothing fits"
I thought this time it was for real
I thought I had nothing to f-f-f-f-f-f-fear
Now my whole world’s about to reel
Now my hope’s gone but I’m still here
I would have given anything
I would have lived it like if every day was the last day I would live
I used to have a hope to keep
I used to have a ground to dream
I am about to give up, I am about to quit
I am about to surrender, no matter where...

Hold your breath
Imagine living like this
Forever
Hold that air
What keeps you alive can become
So painful
Then I found myself one night
Somehow trying not to cry
With my chest aching inside
With more thoughts than I could manage
In a mood I couldn’t hide
Then I found myself one night
Overhauling words and facts
Unexplainably uptight
With an unremitting choking
and some answers still to find
Then I found myself one night looking for pornography just for trying not to burst into tears… and it almost worked. I didn’t even got an erection. The girl at that video reminded me of her.
Then I found myself one night repeating the same song once and once again, reproaching my mind for not being able to recover in a whole year. I remembered all the pathetic things I’ve done since she decided I didn’t worth it. There was no romantic spark, she said. She just couldn’t be the same in a relationship, she said. I guess she’s not to blame, but my hair began to fall after that.
Then I found myself one night thinking of each and every girl I could’ve had something with. Me, cursing every detail and telling myself off. What could have been? Would I be happier now? Bullshit. Shame on me, shame on them, shame on her.
She hurt me, and I’m starting to think there’s no solution, I’ve tried it all and nothing worked. So screw me, screw my thoughts, screw them all and screw her.
Now I find myself tonight with too many conclusions,… but nothing’s getting better.
And this defeat’s because
She needed that romantic spark
She needed that romantic spark-k-k
She needed that romantic spark-spark-spark...
Hold your breath
Imagine living like this
Forever
Hold that air
What keeps you alive has became
So painful
She needed that romantic spark
She needed that romantic spark-k-k
She needed that romantic ssspppaaarrrkkk

Unavoidable

I was asleep
and then you slid between my sheets
I had a dream
that made me wake up shocked and weak
I crossed a street
and then you casually met me
I greeted you in our familiar way
mimicking an ex-friend
noticing my heart started beating faster
We hugged each other like there was no shame
like if nothing had changed
and then you said you felt the same
Then you said you felt the same
At last you said you felt the same
Now I'm afraid
of getting into bed again
because I’ve learnt
you're unavoidable in there
you're unavoidable in there
you're unavoidable in there

A Tunnel

Tonight I see the light at the end of the tunnel
I’ve seen two worlds collide
I’ve had to leave the best part of my feelings behind
Trying to run to the end of the tunnel
The anguish could make me fall apart
My body’s moving slowly but I think my heart’s about to collapse
I will be stuck if my feet get back
I will go blind if I reach the light
This must lead somewhere
There must be someone
I might find some way
Looking for no one
Hiding from something
Hurting me sometimes
Full of remorses
I might be no one
Sometimes I can’t help missing all the girls I have ever fucked. Even the ones I never really liked.
This road is dark, uncertain, made of sleeplessness and stones
The din surrounds me, grows, gets foggy, pulls and never stops
This must lead somewhere
There must be someone
I might find some way
Looking for no one
Hiding from something
Hurting me sometimes
Full of remorses
I might be no one
You stretch your arm. Now you can touch what you want to catch. You pass your fingers over it, caressing the parts you reach. Your arm, stretched. Your fingers, at it. You feel it’s time to take it. That’s what you want. You are touching it, so you can grasp it, get it, keep it. But in the mean of closing your hand you push it away. It’ll be out of your reach forever.
Some days I think I’m about to perk up
Some nights I feel I will never recover
Here every breath’s hiding a sigh inside
And every day necessarily turns into night

The End
05:03

Nothing matters when you have lost it all
I wish I could
I wish I could simply put what you mean to me right out of my head
I wish I could erase you
Remove every ache ‘til I feel I don’t know you again
But I can’t
Why does it take so long?
At least I tried / Why should I mind?
But I wish I’d never taken that step
Each day feels like a glory hole
They screw my mind / And I can’t hide
It’s my skull and there is nothing I can do to fix it…
I can’t spend my life pretending I’ll be fine, pretending I will be this strong forever
I can’t spend my youth pretending I don’t care, I am afraid I’ve never been so clever
I wish I could
I wish I could simply put what you mean to me right out of my head
I wish I could erase you
Remove every ache ‘til I feel I don’t know you again
Reset me
Reset this unchanging grief…
