Calaveras y Estrellas

Skulls and Stars

In my life there was everything like in all lives
Candles for God and the devil, war and peace

Days when being happy went out of style
Nights when I laughed to avoid crying

There were bad people and there were good people
And others who were both things at once
Kisses that left bullet wounds
Werewolves that checkmated you in their chess

Sometimes there's no message in the bottle
Sometimes there's no more wax than what burns
Life resembles a tattoo of skulls and stars
Sometimes love was just a game
Sometimes I went heads and it came up tails
But I had the courage to light another fire
And after the shadows, you came

There was a paradise and there was a snake
When I faced myself, I lost
With each fall, I became braver
I learned to burn my bridges
I learned to say no

Sometimes there's no message in the bottle
Sometimes there's no more wax than what burns
Life resembles a tattoo of skulls and stars

Sometimes love was just a game
Sometimes I went heads and it came up tails
But I had the courage to light another fire
And after the shadows, you came
