i´ve been witnessing mankind
raping our planet earth
money fuels the modern man
turns him into a parasite
every river we pollute
every tree being chopped down
it´s our death that we salute
as blue skies are painted brown
is this what you want? tell me...
kill this doubt
i find it revolting
change must sprout
our last chance to make a difference
or else deal with a case
of too little , too late
goddamn human race
destroying planet earth
silly little man´s a slave
blindly serves corporate interest
every river we pollute
every tree being chopped down
it´s our death that we salute
as blue skies are painted brown
questions in my head
what will become of us?
i dont know if you are all aware
that our future´s not so bright...
our last chance to make a difference
or else deal with a case
of too little , too late
so let´s make it turnaround

Number One

that hot summer night brought love at first sight
when we kissed..
fireworks painted my sky
for so long i´ve been feeling down and so left out, so left out
she made the tables turn
and i´m feeling number one
are you real?
do you feel the same?
love is revealed...and my heart is healed
brighter nights and a moon that sings
with a kiss that my lover brings
she´s like an ocean that is filling my soul
and i´m wishing you wishing you more
American girl you brought the sun again
back to my life
P.D.A... no need to hide
for so long i´ve been feeling down and so left out, so left out
she made the tables turn
and i´m feeling number one
are you real?
do you feel the same?
love is revealed...and my heart is healed
brighter nights and a moon that sings
with a kiss that my lover brings
she´s like an ocean that is filling my soul
and i´m wishing you wishing you more
cuz when you smile..i´m sent far in outer space
it´s like a thousand galaxies bursting in my heart

Better Way
03:52

quicksand under my feet
press play, rewind and repeat
venomous snakes i´ve been carrying on my shoulders
"earthquakes", backstabs from your lover
heroes, villains and spies
kids with their heads full of lies
met the truth in the alley today
left them bruised but they liked it that way
don´t you know you can´t run away??
stand proud, react with no doubt
the system is wrong and the house is about to shake
get loud, bouncing crowd
we are the future and the house is about to shake
mission remains incomplete
held by the arms of defeat
imprisoned by the claws of society
arresting bodies but the spirits are free
heroes, villains and spies
and people with their heads full of lies
politicians are legal, untouchable thieves
and a revolution is what this country needs
don´t you know you can´t run away??
stand proud, react with no doubt
the system is wrong and the house is about to shake
get loud, bouncing crowd
we are the future and the house is about to shake

Bye Summer Bye

Another summer sipping wine..uuuh
so good to have you by my side...by my side
BoB Marley´s One Love playing..uuuh
the heat is rising up again...up again
it´s a wonderful sensation
the sun kissing my skin
girl you´re such a sweet temptation
so come on let me in
we drank to life
we laughed throughout the night
we felt wild and unstoppable
we surfed and we loved
promisses were made
the end of summer came and now you´re just a memory
quality times with our friends
Digging our toes in the sand...in the sand
these waters are so crystal clear
so take a dive and grab a beer...grab a beer
it´s a wonderful sensation
the sun kissing my skin
girl you´re such a sweet temptation
so come on let me in
we drank to life
we laughed throughout the nights
we felt wild and unstoppable
we surfed and we loved
promisses were made
the end of summer came and now you´re just a memory

Road 22
03:19
|

|
On a lonely road
to leave my ghosts behind
the view is not that fine
through my rearview mirror
Burning dreams and gasoline
hating the "in-betweens"
put on some more speed
Can´t stop for the red light
hungering to find the cure for my heart´s disease
constantly searching...
for something to ease my pain
oh i´ve been under bad weather
Solitude´s a passenger that rides with me in my backseats
with windows up and all doors closed
(please) release me...
Wash out the stain
and carry on
because you´re to blame
i m gone, i m gone , i m gone!!!
Still this same old road
nothing new i find
one more cotton candy lie
it¥s exceeded the limit
hungering to find the cure for my heart´s disease
constantly searching...
for something to ease my pain
oh i´ve been under bad weather
Solitude´s a passenger that rides with me in my backseats
with windows up and all doors closed
please release me...
Wash out the stain
and carry on
because you´re to blame
i am gone, i am gone , i am gone!!!
now i´m gone...so gone...you´re no good that´s the truth

Baby let´s just surrender
to this love

and dont give up on us...

Baby let´s just surrender
to this love

i look at the yellow moon rising
and i know..the tides will change and my boat will sail..
once again...
out of these dangerous shallow waters
where sirens chant and pirates conspire
while i´m seasick
Hurry up!navigate!!
or turn to shark bait
truth is "dead men tell no tales"
the story of my new tattoo
ink on my skin to remind me of..
the battles that i´ve been through
scarred from the losses
and fed by the conquers
gladly i was aware
this was nothing but a nightmare
i walked the plank
tripping and delirious
even my friends seemed treacherous
and i´m still seasick
hurry up!navigate!!
or turn to shark bait
truth is "dead men tell no tales"
the story of my new tattoo
ink on my skin to remind me of..
the battles that i´ve been through
scarred from the losses
and fed by the conquers
roamed around the world ,sailed across the seven seas
i just wanted to find home
it´s time to set the anchors and step on safe land...
bury treasures in the sand!!!

Dualities
04:31
|

|
too much is going on ..not able to process it all
right now you can say that i´m a fool or you can say i´m really cool
i don´t mind
of my delusions make a blend... sell them all out in the end
well let´s begin
down down down
up and up ..my ups and downs
in and out, up and down
i find myself with one of these...dualities
truth and lie, love and hate
i´m shaking hands with my opposites
Dualities
everything is going wrong still i got to stay strong
look how my life turned out a mess
peace of mind is a bless(ing)...not found!
back and forth and back again
one more step ahead to fame
or maybe not!
up and up ..my ups and downs
in and out, up and down
i find myself with one of these...dualities
truth and lie, love and hate
i´m shaking hands with my opposites
Dualities
Pleasure wouldn't make sense if there was no pain
i´ll start it over again
darkness contrasts with light, like in our existence every day has it´s night
up and up...my ups and downs

Worlds Colliding
03:47
|
|||
|
Fog clears and shows a beautiful lie...
it´s midnight and i hit the street
knock on your door and ask you "trick or treat"
indecision? just give me something sweet
cuz my mouth is running dry
i bought tickets to nowhere now i´m on my way
float down the river as we separate
into the ocean where choices are made
to leave it all behind
as i chase a new life...i´m just another one saying "it will be allright"
we are two worlds colliding
one tactical mistake
walls that are left dividing
they´ll keep us under shade
at night we unleash the beast
my generation is so hedonist
it¥s a pleasure to be on your black list
i better sharpen my knife
we´re making no efforts
we can buy it done
do what we want cause "we´re fresh and we´re young"
society´s moving fast towards failure
and you are catching up
as i chase a new life...i´m just another fool singing "it will be allright"
we are two worlds colliding
one tactical mistake
walls that are left dividing
they´ll keep us under shade

The Journey (Paradise)
03:16

let it roll...
whatever will be will be
so light up that joint...
let it roll
and enjoy the good times
each and every day
challenged ...by obstacles in front of me
so when i feel stressed and tired
the spark turns into a fire
i just burn one down...
relax and seize the day
don´t stop the rhythm living inside you
Don´t let no one put out your flame
happiness is a journey not a destination
don´t stop fighting to fulfill your dreams
each and every day
on the fast lane
sometimes it´s hard to keep sane
this could be paradise
enjoy while you´re still alive
let´s just burn one down ...
relax and seize the day
don´t stop the rhythm living inside you
Don´t let no one put out your flame
happiness is a journey not a destination
don´t stop fighting to fulfill your dreams

Shooting Star
03:19
|

Saw a shooting star
on the darkest night
thought i could chase its trail
but it was far and high
i stretched my arm
tried to grab its tail
even life´s sweetest nectar
wont satisfy me
i´m always wanting more and more
nothing seems to fill this void
so..
i keep chasing what´s impossible
all i want is out of reach
desire for what is unattainable
my mind´s adrift from reality
that shooting star
raced through the sky
until it disappeared
like a metaphor
on human condition
we glow, fade ..then we die
i like to taste what´s bitter
somehow it motivates
cause me..i´m always wanting more
then i succeed ...again i´m bored
so...
i keep chasing what´s impossible
all i want is out of reach
desire for what is unattainable
my mind´s adrift from reality
so..
i keep chasing what´s impossible
all i want is out of reach
desire for what is unattainable
my mind´s adrift from reality

G.O.D.
03:07
|

|
hey God are you there? they say that you are everywhere
i keep losing my faith..can´t seem to find you anywhere
my faults and my mistakes, will they lead me to damnation?
these chains slowly break as i´m searching for redemption
tell me why do you hide when i need you the most?
baby steps to figure it out...
how to rely on something or someone that never shows
take it easy
greatness on demand
a thought inside my head
took it easy
waited for miracles
and didn't do nothing
now it´s slipping from your hands
