Muchacho

Song for Zula

There are lights on
In houses I don’t know
Curtains half-drawn
Like something left unsaid

Someone’s awake
Listening to the fridge hum
Someone’s pretending
This night will end

I pass a thousand lives
Without touching one
Everyone carrying something
They never show

Loneliness doesn’t look the same twice
It changes its face, learns new names
Sometimes it’s loud
Sometimes it’s quiet
Sometimes it’s standing right beside you

There’s a phone face-down
On a kitchen table
There’s a voice rehearsed
That never gets used

Someone is needed
Someone is missing
Most of the time
It’s the same person

If you’re listening
You’re not the only one
These songs are just rooms
With the doors left open

Another Way

Ten Fé
