[English]

I'm feeling down

Sometimes okay

I usually hide it beneath my skin

Fragile being

Hard to understand

I always smile

Often out of duty

I paint when I’m alone

Bury fears with pink wax

I'm broken

Broken

Broken

Broken

Broken

I shout loud but inside

I heal wounds

(amidst the laments)

I'm alone

Alone

Alone

Tell me a story

Because I want to escape

Far from danger

From reality

Tell me a story

Because I want to fly

Reach a space

That makes me shine

No, I can't take it anymore

With paper filters

I'm not an actress

What should I do

I might lose

Friends unintentionally

Even I can't stand my way of being

No!

I paint when I’m alone

Bury fears with pink wax

I'm broken

Broken

Broken

Broken

Broken

I'm broken

Broken

Broken

Broken

I shout loud but inside

I heal wounds

(amidst the laments)

I'm alone

Alone

Alone

Tell me a story

Because I want to escape

Far from danger

From reality

Tell me a story

Because I want to fly

Reach a space

That makes me shine

Tell me a story

Because I want to escape

Far from danger

From reality

Tell me a story

Because I want to fly

...

[Spanish]

Estoy mal

A veces bien

Suelo esconderlo bajo mi piel

Frágil ser

Difícil entender

Siempre sonrío

Muchas veces por deber

Pinto cuando me quedo sola

Entierro miedos con ceras rosas

Estoy rota

Rota

Rota

Rota

Rota

Grito fuerte pero por dentro

Curo heridas

(entre lamentos)

Estoy sola

Sola

Sola

Cuéntame un cuento

Que quiero escapar

Lejos del peligro

De la realidad

Cuéntame un cuento

Que quiero volar

Llegar a un espacio

Que me haga brillar

No no puedo más

Con filtros de papel

No soy actriz

Que debo hacer

Puedo perder

Amigos sin querer

Ni yo aguanto mi forma de ser

No!

Pinto cuando me quedo sola

Entierro miedos con ceras rosas
