my heart,
with the weight of you upon it
slowly shattering,
a frozen lake under careless foot
but I do not stop your stride
though you may fall through,
t'is I who will break
seen from China
seen from China
seen from China

seen from United States
seen from United States
seen from China

seen from Australia
seen from United States
seen from China
seen from China
seen from China
seen from United States
seen from China
seen from Russia
seen from United States
seen from China
seen from China
seen from China
seen from China

seen from United States
my heart,
with the weight of you upon it
slowly shattering,
a frozen lake under careless foot
but I do not stop your stride
though you may fall through,
t'is I who will break
te echo de menos
just buy me a one way ticket
and pick me up when i arrive
hold me while the sobbing passes
let these happy tears bleed into your coat
and wash away sorrow cried on my goodbyeÂ
I tell myself no,
like my words could halt these feelings,
as if a wish could hold onto the twilight.
Slow but unstoppable, the sun does rise.
so my doomed heart braces,Â
as the last of the velvet night burns from the sky.
you pushed
or I fell
it only mattered I not smile
and reveal my bloodied mouth
a synapse
a blink
within lies infinity
though a dark, empty expanse
Nobody grows up unscathed. Â If your parents don't divorce and break your heart, the anguish brought by a first love clues you in on how pain comes along with living. Â And if you're lucky enough to make it through your formative years with no real trauma, you end up watching Titanic one day and that's it. You finally feel the suffering around you, and from then on the world is just not the perfect place you knew. Â
I would rather hug a tree than a person, and I'd rather save the rainforest than humanity.
Barely perceptible but relentlessly cumulative, time catches us all.
