El trotamundos
Para el niño que vagó para encontrar la nueva ciudad, el amanecer te encontraré Una vez fui una ciudad llamada chica Era huérfano y las tragedias me seguían como perros por la calle Todos me decían que el precio del amor era ser valiente, sufrir el dolor, sentir Pero el precio era demasiado alto para…

The wanderer
To the child that wandered off to find the new city, the sunrise I will find you I was once a city named girl I was an orphan and trouble followed me like dogs down a street Everyone told me the price of love was to be brave, to bear the pain, to feel But…

A Good Man and a Good Woman
Heartbreak Like the depths of anxiety and depression Feels so exquisite Like 1600 volts through the heart The organ of remembering His best friend died Buried six feet in your brain That you didn’t know how to touch The space he left because he knew how to feel those things When I think of how…

Colosseum
The space between what dreams men give us and what they actually do, when they run the other way scared with no explanation Is the measure of their power Or rather The ghost of power Like the height of the rows of the colosseum After centuries of plumagging The measurements only architects can estimate In…
