Brick by boring brick.

Edificar a torre.
Tijolo por tijolo.
Que coisa chata.

No mundo dela isso não existe.
Tudo já vem pronto, como os Sitcoms americanos que seu pai assistia.
Comida congelada era só uma foto do seu panorama.
Ela vive num mundo mágico.
Mas não nota como isso é trágico.


/título em homenagem ao Jam, que me mostrou a música homônima.

Romeu e Julieta na Geórgia.

Então, a guerra nos uniu.
O ódio nos trouxe aonde estamos.
E tudo o que se perde em nossa volta...
Só dá contornos dramáticos à nossa saga.

Se sem isso estariamos aqui, quem sabe?
O destino e uma estrada de terra batida.
Os sons de explosões, o cheiro de carne queimada!
Minhas memórias nunca serão mudadas para algo que não me faz.
Eu sempre levarei nossa epopéia em busca do lugar perfeito.

Mas o lugar perfeito não pode ser onde estamos.
Se a humanidade não nos permite ficarmos juntos,
Ficaremos fora dela.
Ficaremos num canto alcançado com o brilho branco do metal.
Num último beijo envenenado!

Como salvar uma vida.

"How To Save A Life"

Step one you say we need to talk
He walks you say sit down it's just a talk
He smiles politely back at you
You stare politely right on through
Some sort of window to your right
As she goes left and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
And you begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

Let him know that you know best
Cause after all you do know best
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you've told him all along
And pray to God he hears you
And pray to God he hears you

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

As he begins to raise his voice
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you've followed
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or he'll say he's just not the same
And you'll begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

How to save a life

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
