It's so simple to look at every little thing I do wrong.
It's so simple to overlook every little thing I do right, right?

I think too much.
I feed too much.
I'm gone too much.
I skate too much.

I snore too much.
I'm blowing too much.
I ate too much.
I'm way too much too stuck up.

You're probably right...
... this time, but I don't want to listen.
You're probably right...
... this time, but I don't even care.

I dream too much.
I think too much.
I step too much.
Those things too much.
I am too much.
I'm pissed too much.
I need too much.
I'm not one to trust.

You're probably right...
... this time, but I don't want to listen.
You're probably right...
... this time, but I don't even care.
And if it was mine to say...
... I wouldn't say it.
And if it was mine to say...
... I wouldn't speak.

I'm blowin' too much.
I think too much.
I eat too much.
My face too much.

I feed too much.
I piss too much.
I sleep too much.
I snap too often.

You're probably right...
... this time, but I don't want to listen.
You're probably right...
... this time, but I don't even care.

And if it was mine to say...
... I wouldn't say it.
And if it was mine to say...
... I wouldn't speak.

Lyrics by Deftones/Letra dos Deftones

Post Scriptum: começa aqui com a lembrança poderosa da rapariga que sou na camisola de mangas compridas

que se alastraram.

Mangas que ia puxando até aos pulsos mais e mais e que depois cobriam o tamanho dos dedos de unhas.

Tinha vintes e não sei, e a camisola negra com que eu cobria a carne, fazia-me sentir subversões de afundar os olhos ou só a usava quando os olhos se afundavam…

Vesti uma da família dessas hoje e depois falarei do resto, da voz da canção, do que aí chegou, do que me trouxe e do que me fez recordar.

Tudo isto embrulhado em papel de Natal que vem aos bocadinhos.

Está tudo ali em cima, não é?

É.

Todas essas coisas de -demasiado rapariga de camisola até ao fim dos braços- presa na ponta dos dedos.

De rapariga funda que vai ao fundo, ou o fundo despe-a demasiado para que seja destrinçada e tragada em

porções apropriadas?
