State machine

Your life is nothing like a movie
you can not read it from the books
unless you're looking for the ending
that's for the liars and the crooks
and by a liar I mean you,
when you're lying to yourself
and all the thieves in this story
are stealing from themselves
ah yeah, you gotta do some turns in
ah yeah, where it hurts
there will be no fear
only comfort and warmth
when you learn how to be
all alone
at the starting point of time
there was an initial state
which got altered by decisions
that we all just have to make
but the flow is in your control
and at any given node
you may branch off to a direction
unpredictable or known

Goodbye it's time to go
I'm sure you didn't know
I closed the door and left you alone
I wasn't sure how you'd cope
I wonder if your life gets better like mine
or will you drown it with wine
Hey, what was thing in the corner of my eye?
I'm pretty sure it was a smile...
and the rain, is pouring down on me
it makes black reflections of the man who disappears
as the neon lights ripple on streets
stare at my back for the final time
spare yourself for a better guy
yeah, now there's your alibi
tune in to the station of lonely songs
sing along with me and let go of the rights and wrongs
climb on to the rooftop of your heart
repair the leaks and scratches with scars
but that rain is still pouring down on me
it makes black reflections of the man who disappears
as the neon lights ripple on streets
stare at my back for the final time
spare yourself for a bette guy
yeah, now there's your alibi

Love song
03:29
|

|
Hey love,
keep the dreams that we had
embrace them in your arms
remember the moments we shared,
when you're feeling down
nurture the space that we made
make it feel like home
seeing that smile on your face
stops me from breaking apart
so don't be scared as I have spared my heart
and as my morning star
if you'll care, I'll share it all
we are
two lost souls in the shades
walking circles around our hopes
there's no reason for shame or disgrace
just lift your gaze and I'll follow
wherever you go, as I know that there's
something just for our sake;
An invisible bond that won't break,
which will take it all back to the start
so don't be scared..

Maybe I was born as a blind,
and thought that I could see.
Startled by the facts, gonna start again,
this time I'm gonna make it mine.
mine.
and I judge for my defense,
I judge for my defense
I judge for my defense
I've done it again, and again and again yeah
My mind is like an abandoned shelter,
I made it to the crossroads.
Bags of broken glass all over the place,
maybe I should crack some more.
more.
whore.
and I judge for my defense,
I judge for my defense
I judge for my defense
I've done it again, and again and again yeah
and I judge for my defense,
I judge for my defense
I judge for my defense
I've done it again, and again and again yeah

Mexico City Muertos
04:41
|
|||
|
On a motorway in D.F.
a troubled driver has to pay today
a drug debt, not well kept
has put a price tag hanging from his head
he parked his car down to the alley
to set the stage for a grande finale
and raised his gun
now there's someone
with a bleeding arm
and the other one with a shotgun
both messed up in something that
can not ever be undone
delays on the payment
left two corpses painting the pavement
in downtown
side by side the wealth and poverty
blood stained sites of violent history
corruption blooms in natives and gringos
Carlos Slim and narco bandidos
Mexico City Muertos
a homeless creep down in the streets
lives by cleaning up the windshields
of upper class moms and dads
whose biggest problem is where to spend their cash
polarization of society
leads the nation in anxiety and despair
side by side the wealth and poverty
blood stained sites of violent history
corruption blooms in natives and gringos
Carlos Slim and narco bandidos
Mexico City Muertos
I thought I'd never could see why you're so scared
until I caught you
by surprise and unprepared
Underneath you sleeps a golden soul
which without attention
turns from pure to foul

Downfall
04:50
|
|||
|
When the scent is gone, the flavor is different
like cinnamon
Although the shape remains, patterns change
a chameleon
Winter limps away, seeds of life emerge
dandelions
A merry-go-round, with broken bearings
oblivion
all alone
love made a longing sound
but the feedback cancelled it out
it's detrimental to a lonely heart
decapitation and tearing apart
a faint echo in an abandoned space
with walls cracked and paint decayed
grows hatred day by day
until it fades away
no discussions no discourse
are you sure you know what's going on
no exchange of thoughts
the channel's dead, frequency's wrong
no expressions of remorse
forgetting what the fighting's for
stacking up the stakes
until the camel's back breaks
when the trust gets scarce, indulge in wishing
...a downfall
something's wrong, when the expectations
sound like promises
oh no

What was the saddest moment of your life?
Stop thinking about it!
Things have tendencies to sort themselves out.
Let's justify that black flag
waving on the top of our boat,
and tonight, let's track that ropeless tree
to hang our ghosts.
and I swear we'll do anything,
to follow the sound we found within,
that hollow heart we've dragged around
it got stuck in the time, we're gonna pull it out, off the ground.
This latest, may be the greatest challenge of all,
but despite the fact that our shipwreck's capsized
we're still waging the war,
and we're goddamn proud of that black flag
waving on the top of our boat,
yeah and tonight, we'll track that ropeless tree
to hang our ghosts.
and I swear we'll do anything,
to follow the sound we found within
that hollow heart we've dragged around.
It got stuck in the time, we're gonna pull it out, off the ground.

Godfather

Hey godfather,
share me a story that ain't like the others.
Tell me the reason
why people, who should be, are not in the prison.
Another nation, another individualistic mis-creation.
Where's opposition when things that we value become acquisitions?
Harm is carried around, and it's so sad because we can't stand the payload.
We understand the toll, but then again we're scared of breaking the halo.
Sound of a silent shout.
We're all cheering for
the shout of an anonymous mouth.
Crawling from the mouth of a moderate man,
calling himself the man with the greatest plans.
Mis-information
saturated all across the population.
Sense the dangers
of dumbed-down, fanatic, religious civilizations.
Innovations,
all the rights reserved for cash-flow calculations.
Hey base station,
Major Tom's dead so stop the speculations.
Harm is carried around, and it's so sad because we can't stand the payload.
We understand the toll, but then again we're scared of breaking the halo.
Sound of a silent shout.
We're all cheering for
the shout of an anonymous mouth.
Crawling from the mouth of a moderate man,
calling himself the man with the greatest plans.

Self portrait

Hey you, show me the part of the world
where I could still feel something
inside, outside, anything
strangers, I'm sorry for cracks on the surface
exhausted, emptied everything
worthless, useless, nothing,
reject, low-life, no one,
beaten, broken, abysmal
delusions as the tour guide,
restrictions, you can't choose what's right
out of luck, never by your side
outcomes always tend to hide
hey you, I'll show you the part of the world
where you could still feel something
inside, outside, anything
strangers, I'm proud of the scars on the surface
exhausted, emptied everything
worthless, useless, nothing,
reject, low-life, no one,
beaten, broken, phenomenal
illusions, as the tour guide
distinction, you can choose what's right
a bit of luck by your side
outcomes never out of sight

Little match girl
02:31
|
|||
|
all the little things
with little wings of hope
are being torn apart
I have desires
you're a passer-by
a smoker without a lighter
you're sitting aligned to the sidewalk's life-lines
gazing at skies looking pitiful
scratching the match for the afterlife's limelight
now who's the one being cynical?
stand up and save yourself
you've got a cheap price
but my precious time
can not be traded with nothing
a sulphur tip burns,
charcoal twists and turns to a smile
that lies that it's all right
you're sitting aligned...

Time to break free
03:26
|
|||
|
it's so exciting, exciting
first you're gonna settle in, settle in,
then you'll start craving, craving,
for all the things that you could do..
you're aching, aching,
when you start bending and breaking,
no escaping, escaping,
(but) remember,
there is no spoon
with your fist in the air you're raging against yourself.
it comes down only when, you let it bend.
a soldier, follower
trail is getting harder, narrower
some kind of a pleaser, pleaser
see, that's what you've become
coming up with a declaration of your rights
never give up, stand up and fight
shout it out, shout it out
yeah, it sounds like you've growing yourself a spine
