Tell me, from the bottom of your heart. Do you really want to do this? Where were we going? A short movie directed by Thales Banzai, with words by Brazilian poet Pam Araujo.
Tell me, from the bottom of your heart
Do you really want to do this?
Where were we going?
It was so familiar
Breath, breath
Feverish
It swallowed me
It ate me
Breath
Caged
I’m sorry
It’s for me
I gave in slowly
Drained
Me, the void
Just an abyss
I ate the fear
An elegant pain looks at me with despair
It would be the fall of a stranger
The instant I know myself the most…
I overflow with absence
While you watch me from afar eating the pieces of what was left
I collected chances
Instants
Afternoons
And imaginary traces of our tongues
When was it?
When did you?
Was it always like this?
I took heart
Noticed I’d been shut down for years
I was so many, that I almost couldn’t find myself
Shivers while my skin feels
My eyes laugh
My fingers come and go and rub
My center aches in hunger
While wet
I speak from inside my mouth
I rip you while absorbing myself
And let go
You do not define me You do not define me You do not define me You do not define me
Who created this void?
How do we represent the absence?
I wish I could just go
But I have a hard time with endings
My scars linger
Our subtle cut still is a wound
I wish I could just go
But I have a hard time with endings
Our subtle cut still is a wound
I balance myself
I desire
And I still don’t understand
Of the many I was, today I just contemplate
As I see me I dive into myself
I figured that
The best way of letting you go, it’s finding myself.
All I feel is pain
And I need to breath
Tell me, from the bottom of your heart…
Do you really want to do this?
