Shiva
Suddenly every machine stopped at once,
And the monitors beeped the last time.
Hundreds of thousands of hospital beds,
And all of them empty but mine.
Well, I was lying down with my feet in the air,
Completely unable to move.
The bed was misshaped, and awkward and tall,
And clearly intended for you.
You checked yourself out when you put me to bed,
And tore that old band off your wrist.
But you came back to see me for a minute or less,
And left me your ring in my fist.
My hair started growing, my face became yours,
My femur was breaking in half.
The sensation was scissors and too much to scream,
So instead, I just started to laugh.
Suddenly every machine stopped at once,
And the monitors beeped the last time.
Hundreds of thousands of hospital beds,
And all of them empty but mine.
Shiva
De repente todas as máquinas pararam
E os monitores apitaram pela última vez
Centenas de milhares de camas de hospital
E todas vazias, menos a minha
Eu estava deitado com as pernas pros ares
Completamente incapaz de me mover
A cama era disforme, desconfortável e grande
E claramente feita pra você
Você se deu alta quando me colocou pra dormir
E rasgou aquela faixa do seu braço
Mas voltou pra me ver por um minuto, ou menos
E deixou a sua aliança na minha mão
Meu cabelo cresceu, meu rosto se tornou o seu
Meu fêmur estava se partindo ao meio
A sensação era de tesouras e intensa demais pra gritar
Então eu só comecei a dar risada
De repente todas as máquinas pararam
E os monitores apitaram pela última vez
Centenas de milhares de camas de hospital
E todas vazias, menos a minha
