Unnamed Rant
There’s a scent stenching up the air
Reminiscent of fallen leafs long forgotten in despair
As our branches dropped the weight they could not bare
There’s a tune conducting the way we flow
Mnemonic of a dance we so well used to know
Apathically we stand on the doubt on to lead or to be lead
There’s an unknown color painting our worlds
Its light shedding warmth on our own very souls
There’s more to black and white when you dwell yourself in grey
There’s a path opening ahead trying to show us the way
Paving our next move as if on the subject we have nothing to say
Blindly we wander it but always looking into the path sideways
There’s a shiver within, harsher than the shivering cold
Shaking our own primal existence, defying us to be bold
Indulge the freezing water for the fiery sun is only three strokes away

“Não gostas de mim, nunca gostaste. Pior, tu não gostas de ti próprio e por isso mesmo duvido que gostes sequer de alguém. Não sabes, nem queres, ser feliz, apesar de insistires que é tudo por quanto anseias. Assim que a felicidade ameaça, retrais. Foges e isolas-te no teu buraco escuro ao qual chamas casa apesar de todos saberem, e ninguém melhor do que tu, que não passa de um beco sem saída onde te afogarás em lágrimas e no qual conviverás só e apenas com os teus próprios demónios.” Ela vira costas fazendo os seus cabelos escuros, que tantas vezes fiz passarem pelos meus dedos, esvoaçarem agressivamente na minha direcção como se de uma fria estalada se tratasse, e parte em direcção ao esquecimento.
Poderia tomar estas palavras como um ataque insensível de alguém a quem roubaram o, e não um, sonho. A quem mais nada sobrou senão o poder acutilante da vingança no seu estado mais selvagem: as palavras. Mas não as tomo como um ataque. Estou demasiado ocupado a pensar que já ninguém fala assim, tão eloquentemente, senão em livros. Além disso, ela está muito perto de ser a senhora da razão e o meu silêncio é, assustadoramente, comprometedor.
Enquanto dou por mim a absorver tudo o que foi dito e a analisar mais um relação que eu, tão profissionalmente destruí, noto uma ligeira pausa na sua marcha apressada. Os seus movimentos são agora visivelmente reflectidos e menos guiados pela emoção. Está, obviamente, a pensar nas últimas palavras que (pensa ela) me dirigirá, pois a última palavra é a única arma que resta a um orgulho ferido por um coração partido. Antecipo-as, como tantas outras vezes antecipei o que lhe ia na alma. Eterna maldição dos frios e calculistas.
Por fim parece ter o discurso pronto e bem afiado. Interrompe a marcha imperial e eu ponho-me a jeito dando-lhe toda a atenção e pondo o ar culpado mais inocente que consigo. Dá meia volta e diz ininterruptamente, sem oscilações na voz: “Espero que sejam muito felizes, tu e eles, porque ninguém mais neste mundo vos há-de aturar”. Previsível, mas não dói menos por isso.
Volta a dar meia volta e faz o seu corpo moreno dançar dentro do seu vestido, calculadamente largo, deixando-me com as memórias das curvas e formas que durante tanto tempo me deixaram embriagado, as formas que o vestido largo esconde, deixando os outros, insistentemente, a adivinhar, enquanto acelera novamente o passo e sai de cena.
A pálpebra do meu olho direito treme continuamente. Sorrio, não com o meu habitual sorriso desafiador e ligeiramente aberto, mas antes um sorriso cínico que esconde uma lágrima. Pois a minha pálpebra não treme sozinha, toda a minha existência treme com ela, fruto de mais uma enorme desilusão da qual o único culpado é o mesmo filho da puta de sempre. Eu.
Penso por breves instantes na minha primeira amante, uma mulher descomplexada, experiente, com uma beleza bem acima do meu potencial e um bolso que parecia não ter fundo às vontades de um puto de dezasseis anos. Por mero acaso, vim a descobrir que era amiga da minha mãe mas essa história fica para depois, mais para a frente. Pensei no conselho que ela me deu na altura: “Se queres mesmo ser feliz, não sejas de uma mas de todas e dá-lhes o amor que me dás agora. Eu conheço-te e és igual a mim, nunca serás verdadeiramente de ninguém. Somos demasiadamente apaixonados por nós próprios. Se fores contra a tua própria natureza espera-te uma vida de sofrimento e incompreensão, perguntas sem resposta, caminhos sem saída. Dá o amor que sabes e não o que fantasias”.
Na altura ri-me, ainda novo demais para perceber que todas as verdades que preciso e viria a precisar me foram ditas pelas mulheres da minha cama (dizer da minha vida seria uma terrível ampliação de uma realidade, já por si, distorcida). Na altura ri-me, sim, e limitei-me a dar-lhe a única coisa que mais tarde vim a perceber, à custa de frases horríveis, tão verdadeiras, que me foram atiradas em tom de vingança e destruição, ser a única que tenho para oferecer a uma mulher: prazer sem compromisso. Por todas menos uma.
Sento-me na rede, tentando ainda perceber tudo o que se acabou de passar e sobre tudo o que já se passou. Deixo descair o meu corpo, lentamente, até este tomar as formas do pano imundo e coçado pelo tempo, deixando então que este me envolva plenamente no seu morno e familiar abraço. Pego na minha fiel companheira, uma pequena caixa de madeira oriunda de Marrocos e entregue pelas mãos dela, da única. Abro a caixa e deixo os meus sentidos serem absorvidos pelos aromas das montanhas do Atlas, das florestas Canadianas, do calor húmido das Caraíbas, da chuva gélida de Amsterdam que disfarça o odor do sangue derramado no Afeganistão. Fabrico, habilmente (ou não fosse muita a experiência) um poço de esquecimento. Dou-lhe luz e deixo-me ser guiado pelo nevoeiro que entretanto desceu sobre mim, imaginando que a cada inspiração e expiração dou um impulso em direcção ao limbo, para um espaço intemporal e de fantasia onde os meus pensamentos voam livres de censura.

People Always Leave
Why do people always leave
Do they ever look back
Their gift is disbelief
and a route just off the track
Why do people always leave
Most never even come back
What's left is some wicked sense of grief
In a sky perfectly pitch black
Close your eyes to the endless rewind
In your dreams they'll never kiss you goodbye
For you can never unwind, can't ever have peace of mind
No matter how fast you run or how well you hide
You can hold on to the light
Gather all you can harness
but once the lights are out
It's really all the same darkness
People always leave
Maybe I just drive them away
So I toast to the fallen and deceased
Void of thoughts and wity words to say
I'm sorry I drove you away...
Do they ever look back

A Razão da Alma
Tantas palavras poder-te-ia eu escrever
Usar e abusar de imagens e metáforas
Uma míriade de paisagens e palavras caras
Tudo isso para te dizer que tenho de te ter
Dissecar e dissertar sobre os sentimentos
Sobre medos que me assolam e arrebatem
Teus olhos escuros que me isolam e atraem
Tudo para dizer que te quero a todos os momentos
Falar de futuros próximos e presentes tão longínquos
De promessas e juras eternas, ridículas e efemeras
Etéreis como o alcool ainda quem me embriaguem, deveras
Tudo para te dizer que és dona e senhora do meu umbigo
Ainda assim nessas mesmas palavras me acabei por perder
Traído e usado por esta obscura alma de escritor maldito
Às voltas com tudo o que sinto e tenho dito
Com tudo o que não disse e teimo em não querer dizer
Palavras intensas, segundo a minuto
Num espaço sideral, num tempo resoluto
Um sentimento absoluto, sem explicação
Entendo-me pela alma onde me falta a razão
Usar e abusar de imagens e metáforas

Sleep Pills for Thrills
Sleep pills for thrills, if I can’t sleep I might as well hallucinate
Bills for pills, it kills, but day dreaming is something I appreciate
Head spinnin’ like windmills trying to relate to my dubious trait
Blink and bake, now I’m ready to debate
With my only mate whatever it was I dreamt awake
They say I’ll lose my mind if I keep playin’ with my subconcious
I’m conscious of the inconsciousness still I’m not very cautious
Coz the mind’s already lost and the visions are atrocious
Abnoxious, I walk but I can’t feel a fucking thing
Put it down in words, maybe they’ll mean something, anything
Gotta find a way, stop messing with my brain
It’s like a thunder storm around me but there is no fucking rain
To relieve the storm’s tension, to appease the lightnings driving me insane
Shut out to the world, lock myself up while closing the lids of my window pane
For the light is now unwelcome, I tolerate myself better in the dark
A lonely, life-craving persona, forever carrying a broken heart
The one you carried and nurtured, only to break, abuse and rip apart
It’s so late I have doubts if I’m asleep or if I’m awake
As I scar these words deep inside my head in dire need of a clean slate
There’s a shiver, it slowly ravages to a full-on quake
The pressure in my soul’s just about to alleviate
I smile faintly, knowing it’ll be back tomorrow
For another day carrying myself in the shoulders of my own sorrow
Now I’ll sleep and deal with all this shit in the morrow
Sometimes wishing tomorrow’s would never see the light of day
But they keep on coming, so come as they may
I’ll still be here, raging and writing, ‘til there’s nothing left to say
As if I ever say anything worthy, my life is more like the sketch of a book
Lost words, loose thoughts of what I gave but mostly took
It’s up for grabs but evidently no one dares to take a look
We’re sorry chief, we cut you off, you’re out of the band
Maybe I’m stubborn, maybe I do need a helping hand
As much as I push you, I do need you as friend
But I guess it’s all good
Being the outcast has always been my trend
Bills for pills, it kills, but day dreaming is something I appreciate
Head spinnin’ like windmills trying to relate to my dubious trait
Blink and bake, now I’m ready to debate
With my only mate whatever it was I dreamt awake
They say I’ll lose my mind if I keep playin’ with my subconcious

Faking
A shiver second to a tremor
Consciousness hardly makes it any better
You swing, dash and you swerve
Desperately fighting, rejecting the herd
Stained sheets still reap what you deserve
Split second to refractory change
No receipt for what it is you want to exchange
You scream, rebel and try to file a complaint
In search of something you can never really obtain
Battering day-to-day, walking dry under the rain
So why are you faking
As if you really didn’t know it
Why are you hiding
And do you wanna talk about it
Why are you smothering
When you really should be breathing
Light after day after dark comes the night
You skip it and trick it, you just stay out of sight
But it’s bound to come knocking down your door
Head struck off-guard and down on the floor
Hardly ever what you were hoping for
Moving unnoticed, flyin’ under the radar
As if under the beacon you’ll find your saviour
Running and running out of places to go
Being like everybody else when you know it ain’t so
So why are you faking
As if you really didn’t know it
Why are you hiding
And do you wanna talk about it
Why are you smothering
When you really should be breathing
Split second to refractory change

Drifting Through Broken Glass
Staring at the mirror on the wall
There’s no reflection at all
Looking up laying down on the floor
Can’t remember ever feeling like this before
Phone screen filled with unanswered calls
Don’t believe a word she says when she talks
Unwritten letters spread all over the stand
Full of empty words forever left unsaid
I can see the seasons shifting by
From the different colors that paint the sky
Everything’s in motion but me
‘Coz the past is all I can see
Drifting through broken glass
Smoking my thoughts away
Chasing a fake laugh
That will keep the others at bay
And the dreams I´ve been dreaming
Like a sow without the reaping
They’re the dreams I’ll never believe in
As I wake up all alone
Craving the things I’ve always longed for
Wishing I could just belong more
Step inside and rush right in
Welcome home reality
I can see the seasons shifting by
From the different colors that paint the sky
Everything’s in motion but me
‘Coz the past is all I can breathe
Drifting through broken glass
Smoking my thoughts away
Chasing a fake laugh
That will keep the others at bay
Why am I so afraid ?

The Mask
You can play the part and wear the mask
Be another circus monkey performing the expected task
The price is at hand, your life is all they ask
When finally you realize your dream is an illusion,
Hidden behind a desk
If you can remember it for so long have you been hypnotized
All your opinions, ideas and laughter
Criticized
All your thoughts, dreams and expectations
Vandalized
It's an honest attempt,
Of that you shouldn't be ashamed
'Coz even if it's your own fault,
Society's to be blamed
For all the unwritten rules
You will, and have, sustained
Break through, run free,
Your life will never be the same
Or are you just another wild beast
Waiting to be tamed
But wouldn't that really be in vain
Wouldn't it ultimately drive you insane
Knowing that all you live, feel and breathe
Is a lie
That you never knew differently
´Til the day you eventually die
Realizing that never once have you lived
You were just here passing by
And never really enjoyed the ride.

Chillum Dreams
Are you friend or are you foe
Ghost from the past who won’t leave me alone
I’m lost, senseless, got nowhere to roam
So many faults, too many mistakes, one day too must I grow
My heart and soul I no longer own
Trusted them to the one I loved and used to know
Now I drag myself through life but I feel much too empty
Found out the hard way that of such gift and trust you weren’t worthy
Fighting and striving, wanting to be known
Yet no one will ever have an image of you quite like my own
See, to me you were already shining brightly to eternity
Blinded by love I failed to see that we were never meant to be
Soon another battle I will have to fight
So happy, so scared to read your message tonight
I’m tired, stoned, I think of you and I can’t sleep
Sometimes I curse this feeling for being so deep
Already too late, I’ve made up my mind
I will love you forever but tonight I kiss you goodbye
You stole my heart and soul and that I can never forgive
Heartless and soulless...You’ve left me with nothing to give
Chillum dreams and twisted vibes
Never could read in between the lines
Best if you focus on plain black and white
I too would live in ignorance,
And forever forget you sight
Ghost from the past who won’t leave me alone

Cold Town
This is the cold part of town
Where devils are bold
And soul lovers frown
This is the dark side of the city
Where dogs dare not bark
And hope dwells in self pity
This is the place where all the wretched go
Where passengers go out on a blaze
But always say it ain’t so
No, this is not you, this is not your scene
But all of this is new and vaguely obscene
Look at all the colors, look at all the light
Look how they swallow you, so shalllow
Forever out of sight
Follow the light, swallow the light
Nothing will ever shine so bright
So they’ll say and so you’ll hear
‘Til one day you watch it all disappear
For the light was an illusion, reality is black
The darkness consumed everything
And you will never have it back
But this is not you, this is not your scene
and all of this is new and vaguely obscene
Look at all the colors, look at all the light
Look how they swallow you, so shalllow
Forever out of sight
Follow the light, swallow the light
Nothing will ever shine so bright
Where’s the light? Fading, it’s fading
You’re caught between racing and pacing
You sway, but all you ever say
Is somebody’s always getting in your way
Somebody’s always getting in your way
This is the cold part of town
Where devils are bold
And soul lovers frown
This is the dark side of the city
Where dogs dare not bark
And hope dwells in self pity
This is the place where all the wretched go
Where passengers go out on a blaze
But always say it ain’t so
This is your home
Where you’re always surrounded
Feeling alone
Where devils are bold
And soul lovers frown
This is the dark side of the city
Where dogs dare not bark
And hope dwells in self pity
This is the place where all the wretched go
Where passengers go out on a blaze
But always say it ain’t so
No, this is not you, this is not your scene

The darkness consumed everything
And you will never have it back
But this is not you, this is not your scene
and all of this is new and vaguely obscene
Look at all the colors, look at all the light
Look how they swallow you, so shalllow
Forever out of sight
Follow the light, swallow the light
Nothing will ever shine so bright
Where’s the light? Fading, it’s fading
You’re caught between racing and pacing
You sway, but all you ever say
Is somebody’s always getting in your way
Somebody’s always getting in your way
This is the cold part of town
Where devils are bold
And soul lovers frown
This is the dark side of the city
Where dogs dare not bark
And hope dwells in self pity
This is the place where all the wretched go
Where passengers go out on a blaze
But always say it ain’t so
This is your home
Where you’re always surrounded
Feeling alone
