Carne y Ruido

Breathing hurts
Thinking is hard
Silence also makes noise

I wake up with a tight chest
Guilt lives here, it pays rent
There is no faith, only weary flesh
And an inner noise that won't be silenced

I learned to carry things without asking for help
Smile through an open wound
Nobody listens when someone is rotting away
Only when he screams or explodes

I am not peace
I am tension
I am not light
I am pressure

Don't look for me
I've already left
I got trapped inside myself

This is meat and noise
Hitting from within
It's not music, it's instinct

This is meat and noise
Breaking the silence
It's not art, it's what I feel

Meat
Noise

I see shadows where there were once faces
Empty words filling rooms
The past speaks to me with hatred
And the future never waits for me sitting down

I toughened up because I was fragile
I got cold because it hurt
It wasn't a choice, it was a reflection
When loving always came at a high price

I am not calm
I am friction
I am not faith
I am pressure

Don't mention me
I did not exist
I got lost before I got here

This is meat and noise
Hitting from within
It's not music, it's instinct

This is meat and noise
Breaking the silence
It's not art, it's what I feel

If you see me silent
It's not that I'm at peace
Chaos has learned to wait

If you see me standing
It's not a fortress
It's a habit not to fall

Don't save me
Don't understand me
Just listen to the noise

This is meat and noise
From the bottom of the chest
It's not beauty, it's excess

This is meat and noise
Slow bleeding
Welcome to what I carry within

No message
There is no redemption
Just meat
And noise
