(Currente Calamo)
Lust is growing in my milky bones
Like a summer flower blossoming
I can't stop the ribbons
The crackle of the autumn leaves
My life is an improvised, unorganised harmony
A soap opera, in a rural place
I'm searching for the sugar cane
Stepping over the stepping stones
Under the ocean blue sky
Under the ocean blue sky
I'm attached to the past with ribbons
I'm attached to you with ribbons
Swimming in a spiral, I'm on my knees
In a cloud of insanity
Attached to life with ribbons
I'm freefalling
All I can see is stars
At nadir, I am rooted in inertia
I wallow in pleasure
I'm cellular and bookmarked
On a roundabout
Spellbound by the psychedelic brightness
I drown out the long night moans
Sounds of remorse
I have had enough heartbreak
I'm delirious, but like a cactus
Lost in the world
Trying to find my place
Keeping a straight face
I don't know what else to say
When it's one problem after the other
One ribbon after the other
I've barely slept this week, thinking
My good deeds have backfired
It's a cicatrix on my name
Pain I can't wash away
I'm attached to the past with ribbons
I'm attached to you with ribbons
Swimming in a spiral, I'm on my knees
In a cloud of insanity
Attached to life with ribbons.
