Em branco

Sentado sob a copa, olho para cima.
Vejo um ramo que se mostra.
Para que me serves tu, ramo?

De olhos neste rio, andado pela beira,
descubro uma linha de um falso fim.
Para que me serves tu, horizonte?

Voltado de costas para o resto, em ensimesmado balcao.
Perco tempo no fundo de um vaso.
Afinal qual é a tua solucao, líquido?

Esquecido no escuro, debato-me com os projectos que acabam por nao ser.
Escondido na confusao de cadeiras vazias pergunto-me
Para que me serves tu, cinema?

Bailando enquanto tudo mais se amorfa num sofá.
Pintando os dia e determinando disposicoes.
Por que te abro sempre a porta só a ti, música?

Vendo-me rodeado de faces, expressoes sem profundidade, natureza morta.
Ouvindo conversas a preto e branco, enquanto se finge pertencer a este espaco entre os ombros.
Para que preciso de ti, eu?

Porque estou sem bolsos para ódio e nao sei mais onde o jogar.



"I stand on the cliffs with my son next to me
This island our prison, our home
And everyday we look out at the sea
This place is all he's ever known

"But I've got a plan," He sung
Wax and some string, some feathers I stole from a bird
We leap from the cliff and we hear the wind sing a song thats too perfect for words

But son, please keep a steady wing
And know your the only one that means anything to me
Steer clear of the sun, or you'll find yourself in the sea

Now safely away, I let out a cry
"We'll make the mainland by noon"
But Icarus climbs higher still in the sky
Maybe I've spoken too soon

But son, please keep a steady wing
And know your the only one that means anything to me
Steer clear of the sun, or you'll find yourself in the sea
Wont you look at your wings
They're coming undone
They're splitting at the seams
Steer clear of the sun, for once wont you listen to me?

Oh God!
Why is this happening to me?
All I wanted was new life for my son to grow up free
And now you took the only thing that meant anything to me
I'll never fly again, I'll hang up my wings
Oh God!
Why is this happening to me?
All I wanted was new life for my son to grow up free
And now you took the only thing that meant anything to me
I'll never fly again, I'll hang up my wings
Oh God!"
