Lyrics:
Portuga,
I’m so afraid
In a world they want me to save
I’m asking for direction
In these concrete halls
And smiling faces
Hey, Portuga
Don’t go away
The words I wanted to say
Were not my own, so
I’m taking it back
I’m running it back now
Can you tell me-
Why do all kids have to die?
Oh, their soulless eyes...
I chose to keep the light!
Portuga, my love
I am lost in a desert island
Drowning in heartbreak and lust
What happened to dark days
When you would come around?
Eyes bloodshot...dead
In the dark, I taste blood watching the concrete halls
But hey, Portuga, my…
Hey, Portuga
I’ll be waiting…
Can you tell me why?
(We don’t feel our bones grow,
but we feel it when we’re all alone
They say the youth is never set in stone
All day I’m searching for an exit
I’ll spell it out for you
Making way for you)
Can you tell me why?
(Portuga, I’m not so sure about it
You said I’ll be growing up, but be fully honest-
We're not in Never-Ever Land,
I’m sure
But I've never met a grown up like that)
