Oh No
03:03
|

At the peak of a circumstance,
You did not expect what would happen next.
Now you feel like a fool as you disconnect
No one else is here
too busy running around in circles.
The world goes you know the rest
No need for explanation I’m taking you right to the crest
Ready free fall even if we fail.
We better be smart, we cannot see well,
Mind blurry
We all gonna die but some seem to be in a hurry.
Economy over ecology
now We gotta be stupid
They can put us on lock down
but no they can’t be stopping the music
Are you sick?
I think we all are,
In other words we can call it a Cold War
No more but of what exactly?
If the truth is gone, are we just some actors?
Oh no do we really have to feel
Like we have nothing to do
Scared of walking in the streets
Oh lord
When I look up to the sky
I don’t see you there so why
So should I even believe

In Your System

Mass media manipulation
Mediocrity, speculation
I got my ticket for these crazy times
No time to rest for the lazy minds.
Coherence doesn’t show around these days
If only it wasn’t about to break,
Crumbling on the every day news
You think it’s funny but it really ain’t cool.
So what’s in it for us?
a system starting a fuss but ain’t got the guts to finish
we’re living, losing, gaining, trying, renouncing, fighting
The list grows longer.
But do we get stronger?
I heard them say, my words wouldn’t hurt the page
If I put all my heart in it.
Fear Is starving here
Look at them wallow
At a pace they can’t follow.
they’re going to swiftly get swallowed.
Here you pay you don’t borrow
No one cares of your sorrow.
It’s your in your system
so stop resisting
and you can feel it in the air
When you wake up in the morning.
you can see it but can’t believe it
Too scared to know what’s really happening.
What is the next chapter?
Laughter, tears and free joy
I can’t let my fear go.
I wish it wasn’t what it is
‘Cause what is was was so sincere.
either know too much or don’t know nothing
No in between your soul won’t wonder
No more stories to tell, hope you get better
you know very well.
It’s your in your system
so stop resisting
and you can feel it in the air
When you wake up in the morning.
you can see it but can’t believe it
Too scared to know what’s really happening.
What is the next chapter?
If only we can find maybe more than one solution
We all could be alright it’s not always that simple
If only we can find maybe more than one solution
We all could be alright it’s not always that simple

Inside
02:07
|

Severe isolation
Sickness of heart no clear destination
No time for temptation
Wonder if we can make it how they did
Not even a minute we don’t want to know
what is really hiding behind that door
I hope one day we can let go and take it slow
Oh
And if one day it changes I,
Wanna see these faces smile feeling love now
oh why is it so hard to make ourselves proud
seek for trust in this loss of confidence
Weigh your options what is it you want the most?
we can’t know what’s better
’Til it’s done so let’s run and just hope we get there
Why is it we have to hide?
What’s truly beautiful inside.
Memories are all collected
Whatever we don’t know we guess it
We can’t change what has been done
But we can promise to face the sun
And let our souls melt like gold
Under skies that are eternal
Let clouds guide us as we drift on
By gliding in the distance
Fly as quietly as a whisper.
Enjoying what there is to live
Not knowing what the meaning is.
It ain’t funny to be living if you don’t know how to give
You’re just forgetting what the essence is.
learning and remembering true energy finds shelter where good intention lives

Long Life
02:38
|

Long life to this timeless art
we’ll shine when the sky is dark
Some day we’ll be riding stars
some of us should be trying harder
We won’t rise if we don’t make a few exceptions
Accept that we need patience for a greater liberation
Expectations have never been so sacred
No matter who we are we don’t know who will be saved here.
Lately there’s not much to understand so we waiting
Fingers crossed soon it’s new hands we will be shaking
energy and strength for the doctors and the patients
time to be creative
Social workers giving shelter to the homeless
Police still being violent to the people in the street
injustice as disgusting as it looks
We see it everyday
another page in in this never-ending book
Another day, another song
It’s not too late too keep it going
If we wanna change we gotta wake up in the morning
Think of what we have learn how to enjoy it.
Another day, another song

More options for the option less
Less money for the government
humanity recovering
Resilience our only weapon
in these times gotta expect the unexpected.
Connected to the world and all the infinite particles
Believe in less than half of what is written in these articles
They try to trick your mind but you too blind to even see
That it all relies on the fear they try to seek.
They easily find the spot but you try not to be scared
‘Cause fear is only here as an instinct of survival
Poisoning your eyes with live news and all the rest
Meanwhile you forgot to live your life here.
People getting mad, everyone’s puking their opinions
not knowing what they saying it’s our brains that they’re abusing
Think before you talk and check your information
Respect yourself for starters before you start complaining.
Another day, another song
It’s not too late too keep it going
If we wanna change we gotta wake up in the morning
Think of what we have learn how to enjoy it.
Another day, another song

Underground
01:02

Underground like using garage band with no mic
Alone in my flat I see no hands in the sky
so eager am I , to figure it out,
drawing they same circle to linger around.
Apparently I got my way with rhymes,
But I’m sorry I cannot stay this time
Eventually end up just talking to my cat
My girl’s getting sick of me rhyming day and night.
I can’t stand it, if I don’t write I feel like my day came empty handed.
It can’t be planned here. But the hours surely fly by.
It’s all here we’re just not looking through the right eyes
Social media got my mind flushing
at least we have the chance to make some nice cooking.
the table is round and I am alone
No way to get out I’m stuck here at home.

The Wind is Blowing
03:46
|

Okay, listen, come on
There’s no good time to say goodbye
but always ways to make things right
So many things you can’t explain
Your eyes are dry outside it rains
The wind is blowing from east to south
There’s still no food to feed these mouths
The line is straight we go in circles
Always looking for a purpose
What it is we will discover
If we wish to help each other
It’s plain and simple
The game is meant to
Be played together
Don’t wait forever.
If you can’t do nothing at all don’t worry about it
If you can’t find somewhere to go then you need to get out
All I really want is a place to be free here
Why is it so difficult to make such simple things clear
Im looking for order it all disappears
I told life I only wanted to dream
can I swim with current believe what I see
These thoughts are recurrent at night when I sleep
But this is a new day
That’s what I tell myself every morning
Way too fast I can’t catch up
Slipping away from all these moments
Face the truth everybody wanna break the rules
Are you even gonna let them through
don’t even know what you’re meant to do
Say
All the places you could go
But aren’t you fine just where you are
To stay in place is the hardest
especially when the day just started.
The wind is blowing from east to south
There’s still no food to feed these mouths
The line is straight we go in circles
Always looking for a purpose
The wind is blowing from east to south
There’s still no food to feed these mouths
The line is straight we go in circles
Always looking for a purpose
If you can’t do nothing at all don’t worry about it
If you can’t find somewhere to go then you need to get out

Try
03:05
|
|||
Looking around
the world seems so different
Everywhere I go it’s all the same
And change never comes
But I want to
Even if I can’t
I must try
I’ve got my whole life passing me by
Got my whole life passing me
I’ve got the all these thoughts asking me why?
Why don’t I try.
Life’s not worth it if you ain’t gonna try
If you keep living and pretending with the same old lies
you're just carrying your pain with your weakest shoulder
always wandering around the bleakest corners
Try to listen more
Don’t predict too much
Start giving more
You’ll start feeling love
It’s all about the attitude
you choose to have
show yourself some gratitude
Remove the mask
Try to make it ’til the end of the beginning
Each day is a new phase you gotta face,
sense a new vision
Instead of always reinventing your fate
Try to make it to the end of the day
Simple questions
Are asked by those
Who look at life in the eye who really try to know
If you can try then try and help
The people dying who can not find a shelter.
Waiting for
You to brave
Life might die
Tears of joy
When I’m afraid
I can face my own fear.
I’ve got my whole life passing me by
Got my whole life passing me by
Got the all these thoughts asking me why?
Why don’t I try.
No hay otra cosa tan maravillosa como la vida
Porque sin la vida la maravilla no existiría
Uno tiene que intentar porque vale la pena darse amor propio.
La belleza se encuentra donde menos lo pensamos
Hay que buscarla, hay que soñarlo para vivirlo.
Al menos intentar de vivirlo.

Fly
02:48
|

Who’s not trying to fly here?
In these times it’s hard to keep our mind clear
Spending days looking for excuses
what they say makes it so confusing
So we get lost in the music.
Somehow we forgot we were human.
Things are slipping out of our hands
‘Cause we stick to none of our plans
Now it feels like fate is not showing the way,
But what is about to happen soon will appear.
Feel it coming like you never did
Like the weather that you can’t predict.
There’s no ending here.
If everybody wants more of what they already have,
How can they truly ignore the effect that it has.
Gotta stop pretending like we ain’t the cause
People don’t change I just hear them applaud.
They can’t tell us how to live!
No they can’t tell us how to live
Tryna steal the air we breathe
No they can’t sell us all these lies.
It’s all for profit anyways
they got our money in the banks
We can forgive but not forget
you give what you can
What do you get in return?
while they Keep messing with our minds
We wanna dream the day and sleep at night
Feel awake we all need see the light
What is our true nature?
If we’re so powerful why don’t do greater
Things that really matter
question ourselves and think before we answer.
At the end of the road we can gaze at the scenery.
And really understand what it means to be.
Cause we all got a place to go
But for the moment there’s no way to know.
Where and how, with who and when
so we might as well aim for the here and now.
please hear me out gotta leave this cloud
And take a meeker rout.
We can’t put all the pieces back together
but we can have each other backs once and forever.
They can’t tell us how to live!
No they can’t tell us how to live
Tryna steal the air we breathe
No they can’t sell us all these lies.
It’s all for profit anyways
they got our money in the banks
We can forgive but not forget
you give what you can
What do you get in return?
while they Keep messing with our minds
