Spit Fire

Num buraco negro sempre há saída, por mais denso e singular que você o encontre
E é nisso que se agarra até a mais lúgubre das poesias
Deito em mais uma árdua tentativa diária de deixar a mão da escuridão escorrer entre meus dedos
Com o sentimento de que aquelas partículas gritam pela minha vigilância e controle dos seus medos
Ao mesmo tempo que gritam pelo meu abuso de seus despertares

I'm fallin’ now
I'm diggin' deep in my own shell
The more I keep silent, the less I gain
I need to introduce myself to my own domains

I have to spit fire to face my demons
But it hurts when it gets so close to me
The sunset looks so beautiful from my backyard
The summer days don't feel that warm inside of me
I need to spit some fire just to face my demons
So they don't have strength enough to face me

The premonition of the rising force that comes from the inside
It's like a guiding light, a cry for help, an eye for the blind - at the same time!
A tiger needs to hunt and prey, and my desire's just the same
So many fears and feelings and more feelings - but I must win the game

The world starts falling down
No time to look around
I'm coming safe and sound
The way I deal with my demons
I need to spit some fire

Feeling that breath on the back of my neck - a familiar and cold breath
Whispering slowly hey, I'm back!, intruders take my brain
I'll find sobriety, I'm not alone, but things just stay the same
This endless battle must have an end
My body is my territory

The world starts falling down
No time to look around
I'm coming safe and sound
The way I deal with my demons
I need to spit some fire

My body is my territory
