I lived to leave a mark
As if it never ended
I pawned my faith
So it wouldn't slip from my fingers again
I felt the chills of the sea
When it sings rusted voices
I prayed a lot at an altar
Of empty hopes shattered like nuts
I drew a parallel universe
Where I was no longer like this
And I built a terrace above the sky
To be anywhere but here

Here along a path to reach the center
Here facing the wind that blows against me elsewhere
Here on the edge of the forest that has me inside
Here in the whirlpool of a trail

I played the theme of the evening
Without knowing how to read the stars
I slept among the clouds in a row
To find a bust for a rebellious soul
I chased for more than a thousand years
Waiting for the last tomorrow
I shot at the dawn of deceptions
So the dream would never dirty its hands
I colored a man like a child does
Who never got up from there
And I lost my passport in the destiny
Of being anyone but not who

Here on the chest searching for my center of gravity
Here in the echo of a room never a response elsewhere
Here behind the door between a flight and a return
Here in a mirror that spies on me

In every night lit up to rehearse
New stories in the wait
Of that enterprise that moves
That never gave up and moves elsewhere

Here at the bottom of my heart the epicenter
Here under the skin of an eternal clash elsewhere
Here in the world asking myself what I have to do with it
Here with the time that flew away elsewhere
Here with a music that beats inside
Here for a life that runs towards me elsewhere
Here where I will always be off-center
Here in this story that is mine
Mine
