1.
The Earth grows bloated with each roof that collapses The wind cuts like a dagger in the night Scorched metal is made frigid by the low-hanging moon that lies buried in the coal-black sky I whispered, "in a dream, we'll live forever" You may have wanted that once, but not now It's been years since our hearts beat as one The end cannot come soon enough
2.
Manos callosas Ojos borrosos Mentes perecidas Huesos quebradizos Tanto perseguir la luz de la prosperidad Solo para ser cegado ser obcecado Tanto buscar el respiro de la liberta para ser sofocado Tanto alimentar las llamas de divinidad Solo para ser quemado Ser calcinado Tanto cosechar la fruta de la esperanza para ser envenenado Dentro las manos de la codicia Rindo la voluntad Debajo del colmillo de la gula Consumen mi alma Atrapado por las redes de la deudas acumuladas Atascado por pastillas que solo entumen y no alivian Tanto perseguir la luz de la prosperidad Solo para ser cegado ser obcecado Tanto buscar el respiro de la liberta para ser sofocado Tanto alimentar la llama de divinidad Solo para ser quemado Ser calcinado Tanto cosechar la fruta de la esperanza Solo para ser envenenado Da tu vida si quieres paz Da tu vida si buscar paraíso

Skin will wilt Legs will swell Bones will break Lungs will fail Your words won't make me feel better A leucotome to soothe the sick A platitude for the bereaved Your words won't make me feel better The steady pulse of IV drip The gnawing hunger for relief Medicine contours your mind like a chisel that strikes marble My words won't help you get better A pint of blood for labored breath A pious hand for ravaged flesh Our words have lost their meaning Yet we can't stop moving our mouths Bitterness shatters my mind like a hammer to porcelain While we wait… Bitterness shatters my mind while we wait The present sinks into the past and the visiting hour ends
4.
Seguí corriendo la sangre en las calles Y sus llantos retumban como relámpagos Sus Corazones palpitan con furia y angustia Sus Ojos llenos con rabia y con tristeza Las Manos pintan los rostros de blanco Y en la tierra los cuerpos dormirán Las manos pintan los rostros de blanco Y en la tierra dormirán Porque les han robado la inocencia Porque les han quitado la seguridad Porque les han robado su importancia Porque les han quitado su dignidad La tierra tiembla de la fuerza Y El mundo grita ni una mas La tierra tiembla de la fuerza Y El mundo grita ni una mas Y romperán hasta que caiga el feminicidio Y quemaran hasta que caiga el feminicidio Y romperán hasta que caiga el feminicidio

We climbed for years and years only to stumble in an instant Survived for years and years only to crumble in an instant I lived inside a dream, the fading twilight of a youth lost Cashed out / bled dry / gutted Mined for nostalgia And I woke up as an object Re-invented as a product Fetishising my despair Selling memories to old friends Clocking overtime on weekends Cursing the stillness of the air The oceans rose The mountains fell I stayed hidden like a stranger to myself … My debts are measured in the moments I waste While the clock keeps ticking away I try to qualify each compromise as the years grow shorter and my thoughts turn colder "The future beckons from beyond the sea" It's always something It's always something Maybe I have lived too long The curtain fell, the spark is gone And though I lack a self to kill The velvet dark eludes me still So I wait You led me through the deathless night Like a flower bending towards the light Without pity (no pity) or fear (no fear) despite my worry that the end is here In your eyes I found a hint of resolve The future beats within the people we love So breathe in and let the body fall Breathe in and let the body fall You say "it's too late, we're all of us sinners" Well, I point to the river I point to the river Breathe in and let the body fall Breathe in and let the body fall Keep dreaming Keep dreaming (It's always something)

In masks they hide With words they tempt In help they snare With smiles, betray The dreams they paint and sell to us are miseries In vows they lie With wealth they bait In laughs they mock With faith, enslave The peace they state and pledge to us are illusions In gloom they scheme With drugs, addict In books, deceive With death, oppress The dreams they paint and sell to us are miseries The peace they state and pledge to us are illusions I am a fortress You will not siege me I will not be torn down
7.
Somos la lengua que rompen el silencio De la ignorancia Implacables Somos el puño el que derrota La intolerancia Llamas que encienden barreras Almas de la fortaleza Sangre de la resistencia Somos miedo Somos odio Somos dolor Somos terror Ojo por ojo muerte por muerte Se cobrará al oponente Con el escudo de nuestra gente Con la espada de nuestra gente Somos mas fuerte de lo que pensaban Somos más grandes de lo que pensaban No nos daremos por vencidos No nos daremos no
