oblivious to an averse horizon
to the disturbances inside her,
maybe for her the future is

Stroll and feel the power
of these arms, walls

Here the lions come to drink water
and sometimes blood, water bearer

Dear friend, all the people think you forget me.
Listen: How stupid do your parents thinks you are?
but I am waiting for you on the corner, oh
my name don't wear it out
...

I would like to travel beyond the end of everything,
searching for the genesis of the colors
and the bones of fear.

I don't know how many fears (sicks) I have
but she says: Prove you're not a robot

Don't talk about the dead
