STRAIN UNDER STREETS - PANDEMIC - ESCARLATINA OBSESSIVA
I tried,
Searched into memories
Something to elude me,
To make me forget
Were real
The youth beliefs
In silent pains
And hopes
That were vain,
But it's always in vain
One morning I may dream
I wake and I'm still young,
But it's no use,
'Cause there's a strain,
Constantly,
Under the feet,
Bellow the meat,
Runnig under paved streets,
Between the commas on the cheeks,
On the smiles
That make my faith despond
When I'm on the dusty paved street
There may be joy in this world
I see the sun still burns
Despite the grass will parch
There may be joy in this world
I see a smile that shines
Despite the gloom will grow
There may be hope in this world
I see the sun, it needs to burn
For the leaf may parch and fall
For the tide can drown us all
How can curtains
Have shades of sky
If when they fall
It's a cruel show?
There may be joy in this world
I see the sun still burns
Despite the grass will parch
There may be faith in this world
I see a heart that shines
Despite the gloom that grows
There may be hope in this world
I see the sun, it needs to burn
For the men may parch and fall
For the tide can drown us all
How can curtains
Have shades of sky
If when they fall
It's a cruel show?
Eyes, shades of sky
Soul, color of blood
