«Until my middle name was excess»

por Juan Pablo Anaya

«We wanted to find love

we wanted success.

Until nothing was enough.

Until my middle name

was excess…

And somehow I lost touch,

when you went out of sight.

When you got lost into the city,

got lost into the night.

I was in need of help,

heading to black out

‘Til someone told me,

«Run on in, honey…

before somebody blows

your goddamn brains out».

You shoplifted as a child,

I had a model’s smile.

You carried all my hopes.

Until something broke inside.

But now… we float,

take life as it comes.

We float.

Take life as it comes

So will we die of shock.

Die without a trial.

Die on Good Friday.

While holding each other tight?

This is kind of about you.

This is kind of about me.

We just kind of lost our way.

We were looking to be free.

But one day we’ll float.

Take life as it comes.
