I remember on arriving that you didn't even look at me
I was only one more of hundreds
Nevertheless, they were yours,
the first ticketholders
Why didn't I realize
that there are forbidden elevators,
that there are shared sins,
and that you were so close
I disguise myself as you.
You disguise yourself as me.
And we play at being humans
in this gray room.
I try to help you with your problems1
You glide around me
and we play at being two cats
that don't want to go to sleep.
My anchors didn't stop your instincts,
nor yours my moans,
I let myself loosen up
and tingle with excitement.2
I don't want you to stop squeezing me
without me telling you anything
That your fingertips be dried tears
attached to my vertexes 3
I disguise myself as you.
You disguise yourself as me.
And we play at being humans
in this gray room
I try to help you with your problems.
You glide around me
and we play at being two cats
that don't want to go to sleep.
I don't know what just happened
I only felt darts inside.
Our uncomfortable position
dilated in space
The pain sinks into my side
the corners become blurry
I am thirsty and I'm swallowing,
I don't want to not be by your side
I disguise myself as you.
You disguise yourself as me.
And we play at being humans
in this gray room.
I try to help you with your problems.
You glide around me
and we play at being two cats
that don't want to go to sleep.
I will die of desire to tell you
that I will miss you...
And the words leave me,
my guts are empty
I pretend that I don't know, and that you haven't found out
I pretend that I don't like being with you...
And as I get lost inside myself
I remember you effortlessly
I will die of desire to tell you
that I will miss you...
