La Llorona
La Llorona - from the Mexican folktale. Don’t go down to the river, child, Don’t go there alone; For the sobbing woman, wet and wild, Might claim you for her own. She weeps when the sun is murky red; She wails when the moon is old; She cries for her babies, still and dead, Who drowned in the water cold. Abandoned by a faithless love, Filled with fear and hate. She flung them from a cliff above And left them to their fate. Day and night, she heard their screams, Borne on the current’s crest; Their tortured faces filled her dreams, And gave her heart no rest. Crazed by guilt and dazed by pain, Weary from loss of sleep, She leaped in the river, lashed by rain, And drowned in the waters deep. She seeks her children day and night, Wandering, lost, and cold; She weeps and moans in dark and light, A tortured, restless soul. Don’t go down to the river, child, Don’t go there alone; For the sobbing woman, wet and wild, Might claim you for her own
"Hello" Playground school bell rings again Rain clouds come to play again Has no one told you she's not breathing? Hello I'm your mind giving you someone to talk to Hello If I smile and don't believe Soon I know I'll wake from this dream Don't try to fix me, I'm not broken Hello I am the lie living for you so you can hide Don't cry Suddenly I know I'm not sleeping Hello I'm still here All that's left of yesterday
Going Under Now I will tell you what I've done for you - 50 thousand tears I've cried. Screaming, deceiving and bleeding for you - And you still won't hear me. (going under) Don't want your hand this time - I'll save myself. Maybe I'll wake up for once (wake up for once) Not tormented daily defeated by you Just when I thought I'd reached the bottom I'm dying again I'm going under (going under) Drowning in you (drowning in you) I'm falling forever (falling forever) I've got to break through I'm going under Blurring and stirring - the truth and the lies. (So I don't know what's real) So I don't know what's real and what's not (and what's not) Always confusing the thoughts in my head So I can't trust myself anymore I'm dying again I'm going under (going under) Drowning in you (drowning in you) I'm falling forever (falling forever) I've got to break through I'm... So go on and scream Scream at me I'm so far away (so far away) I won't be broken again (again) I've got to breathe - I can't keep going under I'm dying again I'm going under (going under) Drowning in you (drowning in you) I'm falling forever (falling forever) I've got to break through I'm going under (going under) I'm going under (drowning in you) I'm going under
