the lovers stand on the grass
in the park in front of my house
they rarely dare to sit
someone did before and didn't last
and when the animals kiss
and try to kill our kids
i would often stay home
and try to see beyond those trees
in the corner of the shame
the only safe place would remain
the shadow you create
before they took you away
it was july 2010
and in the absence they will see
only concrete and nice deals
another parking lot
that i wanna fill with fear
and no shadow to cover me
and i wasn't there
when they took you away
i couldn't be there
i chose something else
your self-destruction in a video
while a trumpet plays
i wish that i could stay
i didn't get to say goodbye
but your memory will stay
and the kids are gonna play
i'll throw rocks at every window
that didn't see you breathe
and my heart will stay the same
i will love you till the end
i will spend my life searching for something
as good as this
