New eyes, new city

Sempre

Sempre quis mudar
Nunca quis que me mudassem

Abomino o controlo
Quero controlar a minha vida
Para sempre

Escolho passear só
Quero companhia
Para sempre

Evito sentir dor
Sinto dor pelos outros
Sempre

Não quero voltar ao passado
Quero que nada mude
Para sempre

As pessoas são estranhas
Quero tocar nas suas almas
Para sempre

Sempre quis o que não tenho
Nunca sei o que quero

I Grieve

It was only one hour ago
It was all so different then
Nothing yet has really sunk in
Looks like it always did
This flesh and bone
It’s just the way that we are tied in
Now there is no-one home

I grieve
For you
You leave me

So hard to move on
Still loving what’s gone
They say life carries on
Carries on and on, and on… and on

The news that truly shocks
Is the empty, empty page
While the final rattle rocks
Its empty, empty cage
And I can’t handle this

I grieve
For you
You leave me

Let it out and move on
Missing what’s gone
They say life carries on
They say life carries on, and on… and on

Life carries on in the people I meet
In everyone that is out in the street
In all the dogs and cats
In the flies and rats
In the rot and the rust
In the ashes and the dust

Life carries on and on and on and on
Life carries on and on and on
It’s just the car that we ride in
A home we reside in
The face that we hide in
The way we are tied in
And life carries on and on and on and on
Life carries on and on and on

Did I dream this belief?
Or did I believe this dream?
Now I can find relief
I grieve


Peter Gabriel

1542

My heart aches with pain
My soul is shattered once more
I don’t want to feel like this again

The glass is still half empty,
There is cheese in the fridge
But the body has no more soul

It hurts, oh my God, it hurts so much
And I feel guilty for my feelings
If I am not strong, who will be?

My throat is closing-up
I’m losing control
I cry silently but don’t hide the tears

And I cry when I look at the others
And feel what they feel
So much pain…so much pain

How can she be dead
If I bought her a present
If I can see her alive in my head?

I hope my tears never dry up
I don’t want her life to become
Just a memory

If I hurt, I feel
I feel her life with mine
Together

I will never be alone
As long as I love
And expect nothing in return
