Lyrics


I might search for a small piece in my memory, and cut it out with a protrusion.

And if one day I find a girl to tell me a story, it ends sadly.

I dig from my heart an image that makes me resemble her in a moment.

We become mirrors for each other, and a great love shines within us.

A light-year grows within us, and we see it in a ridiculous moment, it's over...


And I go back and search through the pain until I build an idea for myself.

I dig through the hills of yesterday, planting a cactus or a rock in each hill, and I carry it.

To a house whose roof and walls I build, waiting for my fate.

And a girl knocks on my door, entering without asking me or her.

She likes me a little, without love, and a terrible fear shines within us.

It lights up all the dark stories of the past, and we decide to start over.


And I keep searching through the pain until I give myself meaning.

I weave a breeze from the threads of regret, and a winter that benefits us. And we wear

Evening and day I light the heater and try to draw my dreams with charcoal

And the green wishes within me I leave on the dam and they are forgotten

And turn to ash, affectionate, filling a pillow for the children

They wake up in the morning to colour their drawings and we hang them on the refrigerator of sorrow
