La Puerta Violeta

A sad girl in the mirror
Looks at me cautiously and doesn't want to talk
There's a gray monster in the kitchen
That breaks everything, that doesn't stop screaming

I have a hand on my neck that subtly
Prevents me from breathing
A blindfold covers my eyes
I can smell the fear approaching

I have a knot in the strings that dirties my voice when singing
I have a guilt that tightens me
It rests on my shoulders and makes it hard to walk

But, I drew a purple door on the wall
And upon entering, I freed myself, like a ship's sail unfolds
I woke up in a green meadow, far away from here
I ran, I screamed, I laughed
I know what I don't want, now I am safe

A flower wilting
A tree that doesn't grow because it's not its place
A punishment imposed on me
A verse that crosses out and nullifies me

I have my whole body chained (uh, uh, uh)
Cracked hands, a thousand wrinkles on the skin
Ghosts whisper in my ear
The wound reopens and bleeds (uh, uh, uh)

There's a goldfinch in my throat flying with strength
I feel the need to turn the key and not look back

So I drew a purple door on the wall
And upon entering, I freed myself, like a ship's sail unfolds
I woke up in a green meadow far away from here
I ran, I screamed, I laughed
I know what I don't want, now I am safe

So I drew a purple door on the wall (uh, uh, uh)
And upon entering, I freed myself, like a ship's sail unfolds
I appeared in a green meadow far away from here (uh, uh, uh)
I ran, I screamed, I laughed (uh, uh, uh)
I know what I don't want, now I am safe
