lyrics

VENEZUELA © K Mazzella

Off the coast of Venezuela
boats bob like little corks
Sailors wont you take me with you
Cross the horizon to my home

I am tired of being an exile
But with you it seems so easy
To unlock my box of secrets
that stumble from my tongue for free

As they spill into your lap
my shame’s a dress dropped on the sand
I feel the air move around
my aching skin and swollen history
As you take me in
As you take me in

Before you I am naked
It’s not just my body holds your gaze
A thousand ghosts and demons dance here
In the middle of my blaze

Like a swarm , soldiers came to our door
Beat us up -now we spit blood on the shores of Europe, America, Australia
Everywhere, we fill these skies
With bloodstained butterflies



While our books and families lie scattered on the floors
Of the empty rooms
In the ruined houses
In the empty rooms

Off the coast of Venezuela
The breeze blows through our little room
The Sailors have all gone drinking
We’re like twins
Inside a womb, inside a womb ….
