Escuta Aqui

Escuta aqui
Eu não sou culpado de tudo
Se não vi
Que as coisas iam mal, me desculpe
Estou aqui
Isso é o que importa agora
E não vou criar palavras de paraíso

Eu preciso de um espelho
Eu preciso te escutar
Que o silencio vai alimentar
A minha tristeza

Olha aqui
Eu não estou farto de tudo
Apenas vejo um caminho confuso
Tudo bem, estou aqui
Isso é o que importa agora
E não vou criar palavras de paraíso

Eu preciso de um espelho
Eu preciso te escutar
Que o silencio vai alimentar
A minha tristeza

Não vou beijar teus pés,
nem vou te ignorar
Só quero uma chance
pra fazer voce acreditar.

Must Get Out

I've been the needle and the thread
Weaving figure eights and circles round your head
I try to laugh but cry instead
Patiently wait to hear the words you've never said

Fumbling through your dresser drawer,
Forgot what I was looking for
Try to guide me in the right direction
Making use of all this time
Keeping everything inside
Close my eyes and listen to you cry

[Chorus:]
I'm lifting you up,
I'm letting you down
I'm dancing til dawn,
I'm fooling around
I'm not giving up,
I'm making your love
This city's made us crazy
And we must get out

This is not goodbye she said
It is just time for me to rest my head
She does not walk, she runs instead
Down these jagged streets and into my bed

[Chorus]
There's only so much I can do for you
After all of the things you put me through

[Chorus 2x]
I'm not giving up
I'm making your love
This city's made us crazy and we must get out

Fuga

Nunca mais vai estar em casa
E nada será igual
Olhava as pessoas em volta
E niguém podia ajudar
Tinha o fogo em suas mãos
E dentro de si o medo

Pensava em tudo que ficou,
Quando todos percebessem
A garota se mandou

Tudo em volta parecia um sonho,
Nada fazia sentido
Nada será igual
E o silêncio das paredes esperava
E o silêncio esperava
Então adeus é mais que um pensamento
Então adeus
[palavra triste]

Pensava em tudo que ficou,
Quando todos percebessem
A garota se mandou

[a lembrança do silêncio daquelas tardes
a vergonha do espelho, daquelas marcas
havia algo de insano naqueles olhos
havia...]

A Stroke Of Luck

Hanging by threads of palest silver
I could have stayed that way forever
Bad blood and ghosts wrapped tight around me
Nothing could ever seem to touch me

I lose what I love most
Did you know I was lost until you found me?

Stroke of luck or gift from God?
Hand of fate or devil's claws?
From below or saints above?
You come to me

Here comes the cold again
I feel it closing in
It's falling down
And all around me, falling

You say that you'll be there to catch me
Or will you only try to trap me?
These are the rules I make
Our chains were meant to break, you'll never change me

Here comes the cold again
I feel it closing in
You're falling down
And all around me, falling

Stroke of luck or gift from God?
Hand of fate or devil's claws?
From below or saints above?
You come to me now

Don't ask me why
Don't even try

Stroke of luck or gift from God?
Hand of fate or devil's claws?
From below or saints above?
You come to me

Here comes the cold again
I feel it closing in
It's falling down
And all around me, falling

Falling...

Vienna

Slow down, you crazy child
You're so ambitious for a juvenile
But then if you're so smart, tell me why are you still so afraid?
Where's the fire? What's the hurry about?
You better cool it off before you burn it out
You got so much to do and only so many hours in a day

Don't you know that when the truth is told
That you can get what you want or you can just get old?
You're gonna kick off before you even get halfway through
When will you realize Vienna waits for you?

Slow down, you're doing fine
You can't be everything you wanna be before your time,
Although it's so romantic on the borderline tonight

Too bad, but it's the life you lead
You're so ahead of yourself that you forgot what you need
Though you can see when you're wrong,
You know, you can't always see when you're right

You've got your passion, you've got your pride,
But don't you know that only fools are satisfied?
Dream on, but don't imagine they'll all come true
When will you realize Vienna waits for you?

Slow down, you crazy child
Take the phone off the hook and disappear for a while
It's all right you can afford to lose a day or two
When will you realize Vienna waits for you?
When will you realize Vienna waits for you?

Dias Vermelhos

Hoje o dia não amanheceu
E eu não vi nada
Ou não queria ver?
Nem as tardes de verão
Não eram mais vermelhas
Como eram as de então

E quantas vezes me peguei
Caminhando pros seus braços
Me perdi e tropecei
Confuso nos próprios passos

Quantos dias ainda virão
Sem nos tornarmos aço?
Esperando que nascesse
Flores no asfalto
Poeira e ácido

E quantas vezes eu errei
Olhando pro passado
Me perdi e tropecei
Confuso nos próprios passos

Quantos dias ainda virão
Sem nos tornarmos aço?
Esperando que nascesse
Flores no asfalto
Poeira e ácido

E quantas vezes eu errei
Olhando pro passado
Me perdi e tropecei
Confuso nos próprios passos

E quantas vezes me peguei
Caminhando pros seus braços
Me perdi e tropecei
Confuso nos próprios passos.
