Born in Cuba, raised in the United States, I have always felt like I didn't quite belong to either one. But I don't know anything. I don't know myself. I don't know other people. I'm just trying to survive in this world with these people who do things.
I know I'm not that old
I know I'm still so young
That doesn't mean I'm not mature
Or that I'm so high-strung
...
I once knew a man who knew me quite well
He had curly white hair and a powdery smell
He knew me more than I could ever know him,
And all at once the future seemed ever so grim
...
It was a wedding of white
Spattered with red—
The flowers sang celebrations
As the old bell rang
...
There's blood on my hands
And it's never enough
There's blood on my hands
And who do I blame?
...
