Anjos do Acaso – The Paradox Me
(Paulo Ernanne de Andrade by Paulinho Andrade)

The Paradox Me

If your clouded eyes are failing to see,
I'm so sorry, I’m so sorry, I can’t speak to thee.
If you’re always searching for reason’s light,
I’ll leave the field, I’ll vanish into the night.
I can’t think, I can’t comprehend,
How everyone acts like they’re meant to bend.
Don’t tell me no, there’s no way out, no solution in sight,
Don’t distract me, don’t steal time, follow your own light.
Don’t be fooled by my silence, don’t believe what I say,
All I do is simulate, to keep the truth away,
I won't admit, for a second, giving myself to you.
I wish I could explain, I wish I could feel,
The same joy you show me, the joy that was real.
But something died inside me, a long time ago,
Tragedies that time won't let us revise or slow.
To go back and change it, to try and repair,
I don’t lack empathy, I don’t lack care.
I try to feel with my soul, but I follow the mind,
The paradox to explain, the paradigm to find.
Don’t tell me no, there’s no way out, no solution in sight,
Don’t distract me, don’t steal time, follow your own light.
Don’t be fooled by my silence, don’t believe what I say,
All I do is simulate, to keep the truth away,
I won't admit, for a second, giving myself to you.
A sickly teen trying to change what he never understood,
And maybe never will, even if he could.
A phase of life that we can't replicate or stay,
Old revolts and past dreams, they've withered all away.
The future I wanted, no one will ever reach.
Don’t tell me no, there’s no way out, no solution in sight,
Don’t distract me, don’t steal time, follow your own light.
Don’t be fooled by my silence, don’t believe what I say,
All I do is simulate, to keep the truth away,
I won't admit, for a second, giving myself to you.
