Empty ...

memory comes when memory's old
i am never the first to know
following the stream up north
where do people like us float?

there is room in my lap
for bruises, asses, handclaps
i will never disappear
for forever, i'll be here

whispering
morning, keep the streets empty for me
morning, keep the streets empty for me

i´m laying down eating snow
my fur is hot, my tongue is cold
on a bed of spider web
i think how to change myself

a lot of hope in one man tent
there's no room for innocence
so take me home before the storm
velvet moths will keep us warm

whispering
morning, keep the streets empty for me
morning, keep the streets empty for me

whispering
morning, keep the streets empty for me
morning, keep the streets empty for me

uncover our heads and reveal our souls
we were hungry before we were born
uncover our heads and reveal our souls
we were hungry before we were born
uncover our heads and reveal our souls
we were hungry before we were born
uncover our heads and reveal our souls
we were hungry before we were born

(Fever Ray)

Floresta...

Coloca uma palavra
no vale da minha nudez
e planta florestas de ambos os lados,
para que a minha boca
fique toda à sombra.

Coração...

Dear ...

Dear God
Hope you got the message, and
I pray you can make it better down here
I don't mean a big reduction in the price of beer
But all the people that you made in your image
See them starving on their feet
'Cause they don't get enough to eat
From God, I can't believe in you
I can't believe in you

Dear God
Sorry to disturb you, but
I feel that I should be heard loud and clear
We all need a big reduction in amount of tears
And all the people that you made in your image
See them fighting in the street
'Cause they can't make opinions meet about God
I can't believe in you
I can't believe

Did you make disease
I can't believe
And the diamond blue?
I don't believe
Did you make mankind after we made you?
I can't believe
And the devil too
I don't believe
I can't believe

Dear God
Don't know if you noticed, but
Your name is on a lot of quotes in this book
And us crazy humans wrote it, you should take a look
And all the people that you made in your image still believing that junk exist
Well I know it ain't, and so do you
Dear God
I can't believe in
I don't believe in
I don't believe

I won't believe in heaven and hell
No saints, no sinners, no devil as well
No pearly gates, no thorny crown
You're always letting us humans down
The wars you bring, the babes you drown
Those lost at sea and never found
And it's the same the whole world 'round
The hurt I see helps to compound
That Father, Son and Holy Ghost
Is just somebody's unholy hoax
And if you're up there you'd perceive
That my heart's here upon my sleeve
If there's one thing I don't believe in

It's you

(Tricky & Costanza Francavilla)

Pino

Se miró en el espejo
convencido de que no se gustaba.
Resolvió ponerse boca abajo
y entonces se vio mejor.

(Gracia Iglesias)

Gato preto

Certa noite, ao regressar a casa, completamente embriagado, pareceu-me que o gato evitava a minha presença. Apanhei-o, e ele, horrorizado com a violência do meu gesto, feriu-me ligeiramente na mão com os dentes. Uma fúria se apossou rapidamente de mim. Não me reconhecia. Dir-se-ia que a minha alma original se ausentava do meu corpo num instante e uma ruindade mais do que demoníaca, saturada de genebra, fazia estremecer cada uma das fibras do meu corpo. Tirei do bolso do colete um canivete, abri-o, agarrei o pobre animal pelo pescoço e, perverso, arranquei-lhe um olho da órbita!

(Edgar Allan Poe)
