Jenny, You're Barely Alive
And it's all the treasures that shine in the street
As we drive right over them
And its all the mornings we missed for sleep
As the sun glides over our apartment
And it's all the subtle change in landscape and business
Reminds you of your limited time
This time you'll listen to the movement in your body
How it keeps on despite you and it frightens you
Cause you're barely alive
You're desperate in finding something else to please you
You've been searching your whole life
Something to mute, change, or just distract you
Something to put inside you to give the illusion of life
Cause you've always been barely alive
Cause you're barely alive
Cause you're barely alive
You've always been barely alive
Have you not?
And the greatest escape that you ever did make
With your arms by your side left it up to fate
And the coast that you've seen though you're watching them weekly
You've cursed all perfect days as you walked away
I can hear you say, "Jenny, you're barely alive"
a metal rods you put in your fucking jaw to keep you from grinding your teeth at night
Cause you're barely alive
You've always been barely alive
Cause you're barely alive
Always been barely alive
Jenny, Apenas Estás Viva
Y son todos los tesoros que brillan en la calle
Mientras pasamos por encima de ellos
Y son todas las mañanas que nos perdimos por dormir
Mientras el sol se desliza sobre nuestro apartamento
Y son todos los sutiles cambios en el paisaje y los negocios
Que te recuerdan tu tiempo limitado
Esta vez escucharás el movimiento en tu cuerpo
Cómo continúa a pesar de ti y te asusta
Porque apenas estás viva
Estás desesperada por encontrar algo más que te complazca
Has estado buscando toda tu vida
Algo para silenciar, cambiar o simplemente distraerte
Algo para poner dentro de ti y dar la ilusión de vida
Porque siempre has estado apenas viva
Porque apenas estás viva
Porque apenas estás viva
Siempre has estado apenas viva
¿No es así?
Y la mayor escapada que hayas hecho
Con tus brazos a los costados, dejándolo en manos del destino
Y la costa que has visto aunque las veas semanalmente
Has maldecido todos los días perfectos mientras te alejabas
Puedo escucharte decir, 'Jenny, apenas estás viva'
unos varillas de metal que pusiste en tu maldita mandíbula para evitar que rechines los dientes por la noche
Porque apenas estás viva
Siempre has estado apenas viva
Porque apenas estás viva
Siempre has estado apenas viva
