How far I feel
From my element
As if something in me broke

(Throw the shells for me, let's see)
Throw the shells for me, let's see
If someone cast a spell on me or what
I really don't care who
I want to take all this off my skin
I want to take all this off my skin
Throw the shells for me, let's see
Where did my sweetness go
Where did my sweetness go

For some time now I haven't felt well
The words don't come out on their own like before
The good thing is that work is still going well
But there's something inside here that doesn't speak to me
Having friends' hands has done me so much good
But one has to truly heal oneself
The sensitivity for art to flow

Whatever they want to throw at me
It returns to them with more
I have my ancestors to guard me
In every war

Throw the shells for me, let's see
If someone cast a spell on me or what
I really don't care who
I want to take all this off my skin
I want to take all this off my skin
Throw the shells for me, let's see
Where did my sweetness go
Where did my sweetness go

If it were up to the signs, I would keep going
But I have some of that on me and I know it
Tasting that truth made me lose faith
In what you have been, I have already been and returned

Whatever they want to throw at me
Maybe they take away my peace
But the moment the wind changes
The accounts will come
Whatever they want to throw at me
It returns to them with more
I have my ancestors to guard me
In every war

Who would see the sorrow that laughter hides
That disappointment that tightens in the chest
The harsh bitterness that lurks at night
When sleep chooses to stage a revolt
Feeling the coldness knocking at your door
Not remembering if you left it open
It's just a bad dream, wake up
You are worth much more than this crap
Remember, eh

An ointment, a relief
Back home
The sole of the world asks me for a salt bath
The ashtray at hand
The thought between smoke and steam
I almost feel better
