DESIRE - Talita Real
Music & Lyrics by Nico Raimont & Caroline Game
Performed by Talita Real for NYU GMTWP's Cycle 32 Cabaret
WHEN I SEE ME;
WHEN I LOOK INTO THE MIRROR
I DON’T RECOGNIZE THE GIRL THAT STANDS IN FRONT OF ME.
SHE IS BROKEN
AND HOPELESS; DESPERATE TO BE FREE.
I’M BEING EXPLOITED.
BOUND IN CHAINS,
I AM A SLAVE
FOR MEN TO TOY WITH.
I WANT TO LIVE SO I OBEY.
I CLOSE MY EYES AND LET THEM PLAY
SO THEY CAN SPRAY THEIR SHADES OF GREY.
WHEN I SEE ME;
WHEN THEY TAKE WHAT’S RIGHTFULLY MINE;
WHEN HE LURED ME WITH HIS WORDS AND BROUGHT ME TO THIS PLACE.
DID HE KNOW MY CHILD WOULD GROW UP HERE WITHOUT A TRACE?
I’M NOTHING BUT TIRED,
AND THIS BABY IN MY WOMB
MAKES ME MORE DESIRED.
I FEED THEIR FETISH WHEN I ENTER THAT ROOM.
THEY PREY ON MY LOOK WHILE I PRAY BY MY BED
AND DISAPPEAR INTO MY HEAD
MAMA, DÓNDE ESTÁS?
SOLO TE BUSCO Y NADA MÁS.
DAME LA PACIENCIA.
DAME LA PAZ.
MY NAME IS NOT MY OWN
SO I CAN’T HEAR IT WHEN THEY MOAN.
STIFLE CRIES
KEEP MY HEAD ABOVE WATER,
GOD, WHAT DOES LIFE HAVE IN STORE FOR MY DAUGHTER
WHEN THEY SEE ME;
WHEN THEY TOUCH ME;
THEY DON’T KNOW ME;
I DON’T KNOW ME.
