Mexico

I sat here this evening in a cold quiet room and sketched out some lyrics to a new song that I am writing. The song isn’t finished but here are some of the lyrics. I never know which song is ever going to turn out good and make it beyond light and shade, from pen and paper to full colour song. I have lost many lyrics in the past with songs that have never been sung. Words are important to me. Here is Mexico.

Mexico,
Heart of the sun,
You left your mark on me,
With your stars that hung.

Mexico,
Your moon is a piece of me,
How’d you get so free?
I cannot find my sleep.

The perfect grace of dancing is my heartbeat,
Meaning without meaning feels sad yet sweet,
Swaying to the beat is the only truth,
So hold me,
I got a heart that is doomed that possesses me.

Condemned to live,
I never laugh,
I got two different faces,
With tears in my eyes,
Condemned to live,
Born to die,
I got two different faces,
Kiss one hello and love the other goodbye.

Mexico,
Heart of the sea,
In my eyes there’s so much hurt,
I feel lost not free.

Mexico,
Let’s lie here together,
So that we can dream,
Every time you said you loved me,
You lied to me.

Monstrous dance land waking in my blood beat,
You’re talking without talking why can’t you answer me?
Don’t lie to yourself,
It’s the way it’s always been,
Now d’you see?
Did you ever love me?

Condemned to live,
I never laugh,
I got two different faces,
With tears in my eyes,
Condemned to live,
Born to die,
I got two different faces,
Kiss one hello and love the other goodbye.

Break free of me,
What are you afraid of?
Break free of me,
Mexico.
