12 / Romantic Collapse

Clavada en Tu Voz

The Land of Silver and Sorrow

Sun bleeds out behind the ridge
Sky bruised red and blue
Every step across the square
Leads me back to you
Lanterns sway in evening wind
Casting broken light
Even shadows seem to know
You died tonight

Ay mujer, por qué te fuiste
Sin decir adiós
Dejaste mi alma abierta
Clavada en tu voz

"Side by side till death"
Vows cut through my chest
Nothing lets it pass
Every word pulls at the wound
Won't let it close
How can something once so warm
Turn this cold?

Ay mujer, por qué te fuiste
Sin decir adiós
Dejaste mi alma abierta
Clavada en tu voz

Your comb still rests beside the sink
Strands of dark still there
I can't move a single thing
The room still smells like prayer
Bootheels echo in my head
Though the street is bare
I would break this pride in two
Just to feel you near

Ay mujer, por qué te fuiste
Sin decir adiós
Dejaste mi alma abierta
Clavada en tu voz

Friends pour fire into a glass
Say I'll be just fine
But they never felt your hand
Steady holding mine
They don't wake before the dawn
Grasping empty sheets
They don't hear your name repeat
In my heartbeat

Ay mujer, por qué te fuiste
Sin decir adiós
Dejaste mi alma abierta
Clavada en tu voz

Moonlight floods the silent room
Silver on the floor
I sit staring at the door
You won't cross no more
If love was meant to make us strong
Why does mine destroy?
How can hands that once held life
Leave only void?

Ay mujer, por qué te fuiste
Sin decir adiós
Dejaste mi alma abierta
Clavada en tu voz
