Suicidio estudiantil

Y mira que me lo apunté en la agenda. Pero estamos a las alturas del curso que uno no la mira por miedo a encontrarse algo que no quiere ver, y en efecto. Pieterjan -alias "Dios es bueno, existe y tiene forma de belga" o "El salvador"- está viniendo a por mí para ir a la biblioteca de la universidad a pasar la noche hasta que acabemos una reseña de un libro que aún ni tenemos ni hemos abierto...

Ah... Sí, mi amada biblioteca desde la cual he escrito la mitad de palabras de este sucio cuaderno de apuntes, una vez y durante muchísimo tiempo seguro resguardo de mi yo virtual, aunque cada vez más mancillado por mi yo real.

Seguramente escriba algo desde allí, así que, hasta entonces.

Estaba tocando y cantando con la guitarra hoy, cuando un vecino del piso de estudiantes me ha escuchado desde la galería interior y me ha invitado a subir a su piso y tocar con él y sus compis. Hoy la escucharemos: Corduroy. Eddie Vedder la llamó así porque antes de popularizarse su imagen él compraba la misma chaqueta de pana por unos pocos dólares en lugar de los cientos que pedían por las de buen material. El mundo... qué curioso.


The waiting drove me mad
You're finally here and I'm a mess.
I take your entrance back
Can't let you roam inside my head.

I don't want to take what you can give
I would rather starve than eat your bread
I would rather run but I can't walk
Guess I'll lie alone just like before.

I'll take the varmint's path
Oh and I must refuse your test
A-push me and I will resist
This behavior's not unique.

I don't want to hear from those who know
They can buy, but can't put on my clothes.
I don't want to limp for them to walk
Never would have known of me before.
I don't want to be held in your debt.
I'll pay it off in blood, let I be wed
I'm already cut up and half dead
I'll end up alone like I began.

Everything has chains, absolutely nothing's changed.
Take my hand, not my picture, spilled my tincture.

I don't want to take what you can give
I would rather starve than eat your breast
All the things that others want for me
Can't buy what I want because it's free
Can't buy what I want because it's free
Can't be what you want because I'm...

I ain't s'posed to be just fun
Oh, to live and die, let it be done.
I figure I'll be damned, all alone like I began...
It's your move now...
I thought you were a friend, but I guess I, I guess I hate you...
