dia de los muertos

Walking around with a bunch of carnations

In my mind I put everyone in face paint

White and black skeletons dance in the street

I move through the crowd and it parts like the sea


A year like a marker on a track 

I keep running my finger over each time I come back

It’s repetitive I’m always roaming and remembering

looking for something


You were afraid of her, you were afraid of me

But I loved her still, felt her sadness within me

She is not a thing to understand

She’s an ocean that beats and caresses the land

I do not need you to hold my hand


Estoy llorando, estoy llorando, estoy llorando

I will not sit silent

Estoy llorando, estoy llorando, estoy llorando

In the face of this violence


Caminando con un ramo de claveles

En mi mente todas las caras llevan pintura

Esqueletos bailan en la calle y cuando paso

la muchedumbre abre y cierra como el mar
