I wish someone had told me
When I was in the tales of youth
"Joy is a myth"
Because the truth is that
"Despair is a truth"
Because every moment in my life
Has proven this.
I wish someone had told me
When I was living youth as a legend
"Happiness is a lie"
Because the verity is that
"Sorrow is a verity"
Because every chapter of my life
Has reinforced this.
I wish someone had told me
As soon as I was born,
"Everything breaks,"
Because it's the most honest warning
That one day you will break
Along with everything that has ever existed
Everything breaks.
Dawn breaks.
Dusk breaks.
An egg breaks.
A voice breaks.
Glass breaks.
Ice breaks.
A promise breaks.
I break.
And you were my hammer.
