Stairs To The Attic

Escadas Para o Sótão

Stairs To The Attic

Eu decidi naquela tarde
I decided on that evening
Que estava cansado de ficar sentado
That I was through with sitting still
Eu me levantei e comecei a me mover
I stood up and started moving
Com um fascínio de criança
With a childlike fascination

Em direção às portas sem trincos
For those doors that don't have locks
E as escadarias que estavam fechadas
And the stairways that were blocked
Então eu cavei através da obstrução
So I dug through the obstruction
Escalei a grade
Put my fist around the railing

E cada passo estava largo
And each step was far apart
E muito longe dos passos que vieram antes
And far away from steps before it
E o ar ficava mais raso
And the air was getting thinner
Até eu não conseguir respirar
Until I couldn't breathe at all

E se eu olhasse para trás
And if I happened to look behind me
Eu veria milhas e milhas de escadas
There were miles and miles of stairs
O suficiente para fazer a porta desaparecer
Enough so I couldn't see the doorway
Mas eu sabia que ela estava lá
But I knew that it was there

E no último degrau eu estava tonto
And on the last step I was dizzy
Porque haviam escadas em todo canto
Because there were stairs in all directions
Mas eu encontrei mais uma porta
But I found another door
E através dessa porta estava o sótão
And through the door there was the attic

Sem roupas velhas
Without old clothes
Sem telhado
Without a ceiling
Tudo se abriu claramente
Everything had opened wide
Nas mandíbulas de algo maior
Into the jaws of something bigger
E de repente percebi que estava
And suddenly I saw that I was

No andar de cima e do lado de fora
Upstairs and outside
Congelando no telhado
And freezing on the roof
Finalmente, eu encontrei
Finally, it had found me
A resposta, o sentimento e a verdade
The answer, the feeling, and the truth

Que eu sou pequeno
That I'm small
Que eu sou pequeno
That I'm small
Que eu sou pequeno
That I'm small
Eu sou menor que a menor bola de fogo
I'm smaller than the smallest fireball
