Reminders
Julio Ramos
Sometimes it's not so complicated
Sometimes brightness won't blind your eyes
Even the grotesque can create beauty
And death can remind us to survive
Always thought I'd have to fight for love in this life
Never noticed it was right by my side
So until the day I die
Promise I will try
To keep living with my eyes open wide
Sometimes it's not so complicated
Things begin and they end
Sometimes love's not enough to keep us alive
There's breath then nothing
Thank the trauma
Thank the exorcisms
Thank obstacles in our path
Thank you all for the constant reminder
Of flaws
Thank the pain of our past
Always knew I'd have to fight for love in this life
Even if it stood there right by my side
So until the day I die
Promise I will try
To keep living with my eyes open wide
