RAÍCES

Ramas de un árbol viejo
Caído, consumido, 
Aburrido,
La sombra es su espejo
Oscuro y podrido
Ve en su reflejo
Es cada segundo más viejo

Caen, golpean, retumban
Dentro de sí
Cada hoja, cada segundo,
Ya no estará ahí
El sol, el mundo
Sequía que inunda
Raíz profunda
Hojas secas se tumban
Y caen llevándose
Lo mejor de tí

Coraza que aplasta
Y se desvanece
Un vez hecho el daño
Su cuerpo envejece
Lo arruga
Sus raíces estorban
Vive en zozobra
Luz que subyuga
No hay escape, 
No hay fuga

Lo inmundo
El sol, el mundo, 
Lo absurdo,
No moverse, 
Deber aceptar,
Renunciar
Ver su sombra inerte
Raíces que crecen
Buscando reiniciar
Entre hojas secas
Verde despertar
Sus ramas se caen 
Pero se permite soñar
Por dentro se expande
Sueña en grande
Consciente de un final
Por el que sus ramas,
Raíces y hojas
Debieron pasar
Sin sombra al partir
Esa que lo refleja
Oscuro y podrido
Pero le ayuda a vivir.

Un árbol senil 
Sin fruto o semillas
Sin flor, sin astillas
Quiere vivir
Su absurda quietud
Lo ha forzado a sentir
Le ha obligado a entender
Raíces que no puede ver
Que no le dejan morir
Y le muestran lo bello de ser
De existir, sin desistir
Hasta que una vez secas
Le indiquen su fin.

The more you try to fight it
The more you try to hide it
The more infected, rejected, you feel alone inside it
You know you can't deny it
The world's a little more fucked up everyday

I'm gonna save you from it
Together we'll outrun it
Just don't give into the fear
So many things I would've told you If I knew that I was never gonna see you again

I wanna lift you up into the light that you deserve
I wanna take your pain into myself so you won't hurt

Don't you dare surrender
Don't leave me here without you
Cause I could never
Replace your perfect imperfection

The way you look us over
Your counterfeit composure
Pushing again and again and sinking lower and lower
The world is on our shoulders
Do you really know the weight of the words you say?

You want a little of it
You just can't let go of it
You've got an ego to feed
Too late to rise above itDon't look now but the little girl's got a grenade

I'm gonna lift you up into the light you deserve
I'm gonna take you down to the real world so you can watch it burn

Don't you dare surrender
Don't leave me here without you
Cause I would never
Replace your perfect imperfection

We stand undefined
Can't be drawn with a straight line
This will not be our ending
We are alive, we are alive

Don't you dare surrender
Don't leave me here without you
Cause I would never
Replace your perfect imperfection

Don't you dare surrender
I'm still right beside you
And I would never
Replace your perfect imperfection
