Rotten

Look away, pretend you did not see
Accessory, an accomplice, a thief,
You steal, conceal.
You wash your hands
A crook that would make Pilate proud
Don’t need a conscience, don’t need guilt
Believe you have the right to do
Quite all you want (just) because it’s you
You demand and claim,
It’s yours to take
It’s their mistake
They lack the guts, you lack the shame,
What a privilege
Rotten to the bone
It’s just a cent, a dime, a million bucks
A traffic light, a parking spot
A job, a seat, a tax you evade
A nap, a ride that you won’t pay
Why would I, cheating is for free.
You’re witty, cunning, smarter too
The dumb, naive, follow rules
I’ll get away with all I may
I’ll find a way, to feel no blame
To grab it all, I’ll make no mistakes
Rotten to the bone
A robber, thief
Corrupt, it’s me
Illegal, bent
Entitlement
It is ok to be like this
´Cause I deserve only to win
I want, I take
I need, I break
I feel I use
It’s no abuse
I want, I break
I need, I take
I do abuse
It’s nothing new!
Rotten to the bone (What for) x4

Shame on you (español)

Quieres acusarme
Es tu mente voraz
Solo con mirarte
Empiezo a temblar
Mírame, acércate
huéleme, aléjame
no me dejes de tentar
No me tortures con ver sin tocar
Shame on you
Sh-sh-sh-Shame on you
Shame on you
Vienes a insinuarte
No respondo por mí
Basta de acosarme
No soy solo un desliz
Rózame, muévete
Exhíbete, muérete
Muéstrame un poco más
No me tortures con ver sin tocar
Shame on you
Sh-sh-sh-Shame on you
Shame on you
Un espejismo no está
Solo queda imaginar
Tus límites cederás
Tus prendas voy a rasgar
Shame on you
Sh-sh-sh-Shame on you
Shame on you

Lullaby

Not long ago I can recall
All our evenings ended with a lullaby
I’d tuck you in, hug you tight
A kiss while you closed your eyes
Every little trouble was a golden chance
To be there, to have your back
To show you how strong you are
Suddenly, you’ve grown
And now you can have it all
You get to call your shots
And make it on your own, my dear
Now the time has come to see you fly away
An open sky, limitless
The pride, yet, the empty nest
See you fly away
An open sky, limitless
The pride, yet, the empty nest
Challenges, come and go
And sometimes you will fall
Before you rise you need to crawl
But darling, you’ll stand tall
Cause you, my dear
(You know you got to) Heal yourself, as you go
(You know you got to) Take a break but never stop
(You know you got to ) See the beauty in it all
And keep your friends really close
‘Cause at times you’ll feel alone
And they’re a piece of home
The siblings that you chose
for when we´re not here
(We won´t be here for long)
(That’s why you got to) Be the love, that we know
(You know you got to) Show the best, in your soul
(You know you got to) Be as kind, as you’re tough
And if you ever feel like coming
Find your way back home
We’ll be here, as before
With open arms and open doors
My dear

The truth is

You walk through life like everybody else
friends, and family and some regrets
But the truth is… the truth is….

The wink of an eye is your magic spell
A love or two, it’s hard to tell
But the truth is… the truth is

You are as kind as life has been to you
You render smiles that can fill up rooms
You give it all in all,
But the truth is.. the truth is

Sometimes, in life, it won’t make any sense
It seems a burden and it is no game
but the truth is.. the truth is…

Ah, ah.

No one’s rid of troubles, you know you aren’t too
you’re not the exception, you are the ugly rule
Shadows in your vision, it’s just a premonition
For all that’s yet to come

The light around you quickly turns to gloom
You made your choice, for doubt there is no room
You know pain is coming, is it worse than knowing
what you leave behind?

The rope, your neck, the knot, your shame
The fear, the sweat, the mightful dread
The kicking and the choking,
the tears and the throat burn
The last gasp of air, the tokens of despair

With the bit of oxygen left in your brain
You realize you left so much unexplained
It doesn’t really matter,
Dreams are already shattered
But not only YOURS.

Love is a cushion for all the pain
Anyone who’s close can take the blame
But the truth is… the truth is

The truth is we are here and you are there,
It feels so lonely, do you feel the same?
We can feel what we can’t see
But, God knows, we miss every little thing

The words, the smiles,
The steps we walked with you
The time for laughter, the time for blues,
Is it too much to ask of you

Be back soon.

Flow (The River)

I’ve been told that you have been all over
And the pot of gold can’t seem to find you either
And the roads, and the trails, and the ways are always curvy
And to heal, and to feel, and to let go is always
worth it

I’ve been told that you’ve been chasing your tail
And you’ve been doing so ever since your life set sail
And the waves, and the tide, and the storm are
meant to be there
And you ache, and you yearn, and your shame is
to admit it

You are the river, you are the river, let it flow
You are the river, you are the river, let it flow

I’ve been told you didn’t smell the roses
because you were afraid to be the last who crosses
But the rush, and the run, and the race will get you nowhere
and your speed, and your haste, and your angst are a mask you wear

You are the river, you are the river, let it flow
You are the river, you are the river, let it flow
To be yourself, to let it show, the river, let it flow
To love yourself, to be your whole, the river, let it…

Flow, like the wind, to behold and begin
Flow, like energy, to release, to be

To be yourself, to let it show, to take it slow (the river, let it flow)
To love yourself, to be your whole, to show it all (the river, let it flow)
To find your own, to grow some balls, to shame no more (the river, let it flow)
To honor your skin and soul, to embrace it all (the river, let it flow)

The One

I’d say it’s clear you knew her
Before this or any other life
The way her smile rules your heartbeat
Her laughter’s reign makes me think she is
the one

There is no need for pretensions
But you still shout it out to the world
To hold her hand, a peacock boasting
The pride you wear let’s me know she is
the one

You give her your all
You make her whole world your own
You trade the “yours” for the “ours”
The “nevers” for “always”
Who have you become?
Why are you looking so radiant?
Who is that child next to your soul?
All this time it was you
The real you and now I know she is the one

Being true means exposure
She’s trusted you with her best and worst
Guard her boldly, soothe her gently
It will come easy, we are all sure she is the one

Chorus
You give her your all
You make her whole world your own
You trade the “yours” for the “ours”
The “nevers” for “always”
Who have you become?
Why are you looking so radiant?
Who is that child next to your soul?
The whole time it was you
The real you and now I know she is the one

Natural

The air is toxic, dare to breath it
(inhale your wit)

The sea is plastic, let’s go swimming
(so let’s go and fish for oil too)

See the trees fall down, shout “timber”

Chorus

Don’t you clean their air, let them choke today
Don’t you be their shade, let them suffocate
Don’t you hold their soil, let them dig their grave
Don’t you feed them fruit, this is what you get)

(See me, I see you too)

The land is packed, just seven billion

(Still feel alone?)

Let’s defend our world with weapons

Don’t you give them home, they’re nomads anway
Don’t deflect the sun, let them burn away
Don’t you show the north, let them be astray
Don’t you feed them more, let them starve to death)

(show them your worth/You’re Earth)

Is this really human nature?

(Not human at all)

(Not natural)

Calm Down

Who do you think you’re fooling, take my advice
No one’s really falling for that friendly mask
That smile won’t conceal all of your despise
The warmth you show is anger burning deep inside

Apathy is you being compassionate
Loyalty, a beautiful sentiment
But you can’t afford it, not without regret
Empathy is something you cannot pretend

Calm down! These words are your ignitor
Calm down! The way to set you on fire
Calm down! Your wrath is your denial
Lit it up like a cigarette?
Just lay back and watch it burn

Mentally imbalanced, lacking any taste
My habit with you? Underestimate.
Boring to the bone, uninteresting, yeah
Your appendix bursting will make my day

Calm down! These words are your ignitor
Calm down! The way to set you on fire
Calm down! Your wrath is your denial
Lit it up like a cigarette?
Just lay back and watch it burn

Careful, Joker, cause the cards you play
They’ll be your doom and your disgrace

Calm down! These words are your ignitor
Calm down! The way to set you on fire
Calm down! Your wrath is your denial
Lit it up like a cigarette?
Just lay back and watch it burn

Careful with the words you say
They’ll be your doom and your disgrace

Never Be

Humanity has a chronic disease
To figure out life and all that it means
Science and gods, answer my questions, please!
Should all these matters remain a mystery?

Evolution
It is crucial
Eternal return
Momentum vitae

Chorus
We will never be
We could never be
We should never be
We ain’t gonna be
Anything we used to be

Clinging to any set of beliefs
Paradigms, dogma… naivety
Consciousness, mindfulness, messianism
Is this reality all that there is?

Institutions
Are delusions
See it around
Grace really abounds

Chorus (Em)
We will never be
We could never be
We should never be
We ain’t gonna be
Anything we used to be

Bridge
You are the light
Carry the spark
With dignity
Light won’t be bound
It defines
Both space and time

Chorus (Em)
We will never be
We could never be
We should never be
We ain’t gonna be

Anything we used to…
Anything they used to…
Everything but lying still

Hero

The troops are on the ground
The enemy’s around
The silence is so loud
Do not make a sound

Adrenaline flows
but fear never goes
sweat drips from your nose
the cold is in your bones

A signal of distress brought you to this place
Trenching in fear with no bullets or space
Biting your own teeth while clenching your fists
you are here for your beliefs, but…

Who needs a hero?

The countdown has begun
Get ready to run
The bomb is gonna drop
The flare is in the gun

The helicopter soars
Explosions start to roar
You’ve never heard before bodies being torn
(courage through your pores… the sky is being torn)

The enemy you fight is a billion noses
Coke and blow and snow and lines and overdoses
It’s a binary code: polarized politics
you know that we can’t win this fight but…

Who needs a hero? x 2

Is the love of one man worth it, saving this world
Full of selfies and Kardashians, things are so absurd
Loneliness and duck faces, they correlate
Will it take one man to save us:
Jesus, what do you say?

We need a hero! x 3

We need a hero!

UNVEILED

At every smile you frown back,
you dodge the bullets to your heart, that’s you
You feel the water with your toe
«Not too deep, I won’t let go”, that’s you
But I know the truth,
I feel the fear, in you
Titanium shell, the force feel fades around you

Mmmmmm

Chorus
From closed to close
Distant like north and south
Together as gravity and ground

Roll your eyes like you don’t care,
Stay alert and play it safe, that’s you
Don’t trust, don’t dare and don’t believe
Pain will loudly resonate with you
But I know the truth
Fear founds its prey in you
Motionless, playing dead
Harm can’t find you
Mmmm

Chorus
From closed to close
Distant like north and south
Together as gravity and ground

Silence is your sword and shield
The foggy nuisance of no speech guards you
Turn around, walk away
Be the coward, yeah, that’s you
Please let go, let me in, it’s me
Feel me now, hear me now, I’m here
Mmmm

Chorus
From closed to close
Distant like north and south
Together as gravity and ground
Synergy is what we found,
Together we’re what music is to sound

Secret

The eye
of the door
you adore
you can see right through it

The veil
won’t be torn
it will show
it’s a two way mirror

Peek
Through the hole
Fantasize
it could be you right here

This
Telescope
Understand
It will bring you near

CHORUS

Time
Is up
you must
shout your secret

Realise
the lust
shout your secret

No
display
When you look
It is all explicit

The silk
The lace
And the skin
Have their own exhibit

What
You get to see
is just the tip
of a full-sized iceberg

the rest
of the scene
incomplete
you can only imagine

CHORUS

Time
Is up
you must
shout your secret

Realise
the lust
shout your secret

BRIDGE

Do you enjoy
what you see
it’s fire in your retina

your
your brain
is a slave
of a hormone cocktail

CHORUS

Time
Is up
you must
shout your secret

Realise
the lust
shout your secret
