Respiro, aguanto tranquilo
Sostengo la mirada en el camino
Pasos seguros, seguro sigo
Hoy no me siento tan perdido
Cargo piedras en los bolsillos
Y en la maleta mi nombre y apellidos
Camino largo, pasos cortos
Voy descalzo y hay vidrios rotos
Ojeras negras en este viaje
Todos iguales, mi camuflaje
Tengo un boleto de ida
Y un pase directo 'para no hacer fila
Trato de evitar la luz al final del túnel
Trato de ignorar esas ideas que me consumen
Un par de monedas para ver a dónde llego
Cruzo la vereda y me siento alguien nuevo
Por más que duele no aprendo la lección
Siento que trabajo mejor bajo presión
Como Mr. Fox, fantástico
Como Bird con un sax de plástico
Hey, claro que no es novedad
Verme tendido en la barra del bar
Uh, seguro no es nada raro
Mirada perdida y semblante enojado
