Los Amigos Que Perdí

I went in search of lost time
Following the trail of a sunrise
And I joined with people without measure
Whom no one wants to meet

A madman taught me about strychnine
A writer spoke to me about dishonor
A judge absolved me of my routine
And a flower removed my pain

If you want to see me
You'll have to explore
Those deserts I can't abandon
I opened a door that closed behind me
And I don't feel the friends I lost

I specialized in suicidal nights
Just the day I met her
And I confused windmills with giants
After a week without sleep

If you want to see me
You'll have to explore
Those deserts I can't abandon
I opened a door that closed behind me
And I don't feel the friends I lost

Fear is a sharp knife
Revenge is a stuck arrow
There's nothing more useless than hate
There's nothing more painful than resentment

I try to get out of my mind
I strive to ignore
I go the reverse way
I look for the origin
I look for something out there

If you want to see me
You'll have to come
To places I can't describe
I opened a door that closed behind me
And I don't feel the friends I lost

If you want to see me
You'll have to accept
That there are certain things that will distance me from you
I opened a door that closed when I fled
And I have forgotten the friends I lost
