As Palavras [English translation]

The words come out almost unwanted

They pray for the two of us

Be aware of the things you'll say

They are inside my eyes

Inside my mouth and my shoulders

If you want to hear them

It's easy to notice

Don't hit me

Don't fence me in

Absolve me

Make light where there's involution

Choose the verses to be my good and not my evil

Send my heart to rehab

I tried to

I tore your soul apart and set fire to it

I didn't blow it

I wasn't reluctant

The holes I dug

I didn't want to see them

But their bitterness wound up by hitting me

I couldn't live in peace

I'm here to beg you to forgive me

Don't hit me

Don't fence me in

Absolve me

Make light where there's involution

Choose the verses to be my good and not my evil

Send my heart to rehab

Words run away

If you let them do so

The impact of this is big

Cities are born from this happening

They do violence, turn them crazy or make me sleep

They make you sick, heal you or give you limits

Think twice before you say something

Don't hit me

Don't fence me in

Absolve me

Make light where there's involution

Choose the verses to be my good and not my evil

Send my heart to rehab
