Hide the lies
the space around me
is getting tighter and I feel
my tired bones creak and I flee
and the smile upon his face
makes me think about the place
I would like to be today, run away
hide the lies
I realize
staring at the weather
someday I know it will be better
and the voices in my dreams
know my feelings and now it’s clear
that the triumph of doubts will lead me to drift
in an overflowing void
lost direction but trying to avoid
to surrender and the defeat will be sweeter to me

Words of help

Words of help
the sun will rise behind the lines
of the sleeping man
flashing my eyes it will awaken
all the feelings once I felt
I’m not surprised, I’m not surprised
by the shame I have gained
in this holy light I’m just trying
to redeem a failed soul
and the devious sin right in front of me
is calling for release
in my mind I repeat words of help to myself
my ears are tired they cannot hear,
tears smother everything
so many days lived safely
in the shadow of life
the night is mild and regrets make
their presence felt
the frozen eyes challenge the knife
just to take a little time
giving way to those who choose
resoluteness and not shame
and the devious sin right in front of me
is calling for release
in my mind I repeat words of help to myself
my ears are tired they cannot hear,
tears smother everything

Masters of eloquence

Masters of eloquence
Unconscious pragmatism
Has just decided to win
Leading people’s frustration
To an early apathy
Even the masters of eloquence
No longer have words to dispense
So many glorious stories
Of hope and true romance
Have been erased by
Shameful incompetence
Even the masters of eloquence
No longer have words to dispense
It’s been a while since the dreams left their place to the scars
We’re trying to reach’em but they’ve gone too far
it’s been a while since the dreams left their place to the scars
We’re trying to reach’em but they’ve gone too far
Another counting contest
Of vulnerable minds
And the winner will be
The most able to hide
Even the masters of eloquence
No longer have words to dispense
Absence of conversation
Declare the salvation
United as a nation
Divided like our nation
Even the masters of eloquence
No longer have words to dispense
It’s been a while since the dreams left their place to the scars
We’re trying to reach’em but they’ve gone too far

The race
04:15
|

The race
with the grey sky everything seems unfaithful
but our eyes have to learn to be grateful
on the sealine waves alter the perfection
of the landscape no border to imagination
now we wonder If we will have another chance
and we think about the past and we think about the friends
but the race has just begun
feelings of dread settled over our heads
take another step and pay attention to my space
all i ask now is to hold a friendly hand
who could take away this sort of loneliness
and it seems the last sunny day is gone
but other sunny days will come
now we wonder If we will have another chance
and we think about the past and we think about the friends
but the race has just begun

The end of the pier

The end of the pier
the sunny day made everything clearer
with the clouds took away the tears
loneliness found a friend in fear
but a heartbeating was near
oh my friend oh my dear I never been sincere
in a moment I lost what I built in years
oh my friend oh my dear I never been sincere
how many times I told I’ll reach the end of the pier
the field of flowers sways in the wind
in the air smell of sin
my beaten armor is too thin
it falls apart and let me swim
and then the warriors came to take the cowards away
to the unworthy remains the pillory stage
and with the crowd all around eyes fixed on the ground
even the thunderous shame plays a silent sound
and the faces of stone let the hearts all alone
and the faces of stone let the hearts all alone
now the words strike deep and scare
but the time is right to dare
I’ll never hide again I swear
to myself I’ll dedicate my prayers
oh my friend oh my dear today I’ve been sincere
now I know I can reach the end of the pier
and then the warriors came to take the cowards away
to the unworthy remains the pillory stage
and with the crowd all around eyes fixed on the ground
even the thunderous shame plays a silent sound
and the faces of stone let the hearts all alone
and the faces of stone let the hearts all alone

The season of pity

The great season of pity
I remember fallen trees and
and the sun make us shiver
in the great season of pity
we are trying to find a meaning
so the sky posed a question
but we don’t know the answer
our eyes are no longer used to looking
they just merely observing
and it’s all a blur
the season will return
all our hearts confused
we forgot to use
in the great season of pity
in the great season of pity we are trying
in the great season of pity
we are trying to find a meaning
the conceit of the human being
will preserve their integrity
in this great season of pity
we don't want to find any meaning
and it’s all a blur
the season will return
all our hearts confused
we forgot to use
in the great season of pity
in the great season of pity we are trying

Battered town
04:12

Battered town
in the dark ravines
of a shining day
the dancing rose left
everyone amazed
and a smiling boy
was trying to resist
a comfortable jail
in uncomfortable days
and this battered town
has been knocked down
and this battered town
must get up from the ground
the feeling of loss
due to lack of life
contrasts with the need
to deprive yourself of
in order to survive
and the quiet sea
ask for company
in solitude watching us
while we stare at him
and this battered town
has been knocked down
and this battered town
must get up from the ground

Dismay
03:58
|

Dismay
when the ice felt from the sky
we stood staring in surprise
the dull noise all around
and we stayed together
moments of brotherhood
deeply fix our lack of mood
In a while it’s all understood
We need bonding of hearts
i know that look on your face
yhe eyes reveal your dismay
lost lovers
lost friends
lost dreamers
regrets
the eyes reveal your dismay
the eyes reveal your dismay
and a sort of self control
feeds the people’s hoping soul
celebrating our own goal
we forget to gather
moments of loneliness
increase our lack of awareness
we could try to flip a coin
but we’re scared by the choice

Inside our head
04:40
|

Inside our head
and the time is marked by detached beats
everyday we keep on waiting for something real
the mind tries to escape from the deal
looking for a little bit of life to feel
and the daily dose of hope is
wiped out by daily rawness
I see frightened bullets dancing over our heads
wondering if we really care inside our heads
and the words sound so sweetly with those hinted smiles
we all listen to the speech with disenchanted eyes
but the answers do not satisfy the needs of times
everybody will be happy the order has arrived
his reassuring tone made me
immediately feel better
I see frightened bullets dancing over our heads
wondering if we really care inside our heads

You and me
03:38
|
|||
You and me
if you want to take another step
even if you can’t see ahead
just have confidence in yourself
the game will never be the same again
once a child told to me
the house is flying can you see?
floating and waiting to land
on the tree of happiness
there’s a whale in the sky
eating stars with delight
and the space all around
grants darkness on my hometown
and the words can’t explain
why the hearts lost the faith?
the future’s waiting for us
but we don’t know how to start
and the reasons we believe
the most fleeting on the scene
it depends on you and me
what we fight for and what we feel
