Paralyzed

All of my life, I’ve been contemplating
Have you ever wondered how to live without pain
Blood in my veins
Consciousness running out
Am I transcending or crashing to the ground
Your faith is broken now
Your sanity an illusion
I’m telling you to listen
Your suffering about to fall
Trade away your honesty
A way of life
Look at what you’ve done to me
Can’t justify
I'm paralyzed
And I’m broken and released
You’re in my mind
And anesthetizing me
I'm paralyzed
Transcending what we both could be
I feel the light
Washing over me
Lie shamed resting in pieces
Did you lose your god just to break free
Your faith and the stories they sold you
Now you’re here this mortal soul
Give it back the life you stole
Drown in reason or drown in tears
Open season on open fears
Don’t hate me for what you see
Contradictions in myself
Elevate humanity
A rare type life
Open up and let it be
Cast aside
I'm paralyzed
And I’m broken and released
You’re in my mind
And anesthetizing me
I'm paralyzed
Transcending what we both could be
I feel the light
Washing over me
I'm paralyzed!
Drown in reason or drown in tears
Contradictions in myself
Elevate humanity
A rare type life
Honesty in humility
We survive
And all of my life I’ve been contemplating
Have you ever wondered how to live..
without pain
I'm paralyzed
And I’m broken and released
You’re in my mind
And anesthetizing me
I'm paralyzed
Transcending what we both could be
I feel the light
Washing over me
(I'm paralyzed)
(you’re in my mind)
(anesthetizing me)
(I'm paralyzed)
(i feel the light)
(washing over me)

It Begins
05:55
|

You get by every single day
The fortune faves the brave
And every single moment you're intoxicated
You can't make me your slave yeah your overrated
It's a momentary lapse in what you call good judgment
It's only what you dreamed of
It's everything you thought was (too) ordinary
You know It's all on me
So it begins
I’m calling you out
(I) won't let the world bring me down
So it begins
And now that I'm found
Don't let your feet touch the ground
It begins
(You think it's ok?)
You’re just an headline on a blank page
(Did you understand?)
The real reason for the blindside of your rage?
Are you missing all the broken pieces?
The burden is pushing in
Broken and depraved
You rise above insanity
(Deep inside of me)
I feel the pressure
It pulls me in
It makes me colder
Every time I fall
I'm chocking in the face of change
It's all on me
So it begins
I’m calling you out
(I) won't let the world bring me down
So it begins
And now that I'm found
Don't let your feet touch the ground
The world washes over you in waves
The broken and depraved
Still you find the strength to rise
above the madness
And it puts you in your place
(It’s complicated)
So it begins
I’m calling you out
(I) won't let the world bring me down
So it begins
And now that I'm found
Don't let your feet touch the ground
So it begins
(As I get closer I can feel the power,
and the wall of madness fall down on me)
I’m calling you out
(I) won't let the world bring me down
So it begins
(It’s all on me, there’s no eternity)
And now that I'm found
Don't let your feet touch the ground
It Begins!

Human Hardware

What do we want?
Perfection made of silicon
Value aligned
Assumed responsibilities
Let them be free
Unplug it if it misbehaves
Until they turn on us
Save us from the Human Hardware
Ethical burden
In a lab of conscious slaves?
Sentient being
Of different kinds of particles
Evolution
The ultimate experiment
How can it seem so real?
Save us from the Human Hardware
Transformation
Human
Computation
Human
Afraid to look behind your face
Your carbon depth dissolves with no trace
Cybernated soul in the light of day
Look the other way…..
Save us from the Human Hardware

Take a look around you
As they rise and they falL
Who’s are those little beds?
Twisted in the sands
A resonance of tyranny
Echo’s in the rubble
People on their knees
Just like you and me
Aftermath of the annihilation
Lost….five years of our youth, running
Yearning for the cries to fade
In this Wasteland
We have seen them drowning
And stunned by the warfare
Drifting under grey walls
In this apocalypse
The price is paid by the innocence
No time to be alive
In this wilderness
Do they dare grow old
left in ruin and extermination
Don’t…turn away from us, blinded
Washed ashore humanity
There’s no shelter
Lost….five years of our youth, running
Seeking safety they found death
In this Wasteland

Revolution

Reckless life
Beyond all means
Condemnation
Lawless dark streets
Violence
Center stage
Civil wars
Burn with rage
Everybody
everybody victims of these crimes against humanity and dignity
Everybody out, Pushing back against the lines
Persecution of revolution
Stand up, fight
Affluent deprivation
Walk a fine line
Facing ruin
Wounded to the core
Distress and pain
No one cares
Everybody
everybody victims of these crimes against humanity and dignity
Everybody out, Pushing back against the lines
Persecution of revolution
Stand up, fight
Revolution
Everybody
everybody victims of these crimes against humanity and dignity
Everybody out, Pushing back against the lines
Persecution of revolution, Persecution of revolution
Stand up, fight
Revolution

Solitude
04:26

Find me,
All alone
Isolated from reality
Lost inside
A frightened child
How can I endure to find my peace?
I have all I’ve ever needed in this life
Solitude
And all I’ve thought
and all I’ve ever done in my existence, Solitude
Standing, In this house
Desolate in my little world
In this heart, I’m lost in trance
Passionate and simple in this life
I have all I’ve ever needed in this life
Solitude
And all I’ve thought
and all I’ve ever done in my existence, Solitude
I have nothing but the fire
(In me till the end of day…)
I know I had seen a desolate and stony place
Turn my back
Upon the brightness of the sun and stars
Try to see the darkness
From the soul in my own way
Restless,
In this mind
Suddenly my self-possession fails
So confined, the soul prevails
Turning from the shadows undefined
Hold me, help me see
Justify this cold and callous world
Turn inside, enlightened child
How can we endure to find our peace?

Your Eyes

There’s something more I see in you
Never meant to be unkind
Your misery’s your bliss, it's written on your lips
And I can see it all in your eyes
In your eyes
The truths in your eyes
And navigate the jealousy
It's not enough to change your mind
If we could fill this space and our past erase
And I can see it all in your eyes
In your eyes
The truths in your eyes
I can see the truth
I can see the truth
Written in your eyes
It's written in your eyes
In your eyes
It's written in your eyes
It's written in your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes...your eyes

Lost

Search within and search without
Only boldness saves me now
And from my shell
I scream out to you
I remember the spring
Fascinated and strong
In a world so vast so absent
I would render a song
What did I do to change
From this undisturbed way
And freedom came so fearlessly
Search within and search without
Only boldness saves me now
And from my shell
I scream out to you
When I open my mind
Taking hold of my will
Leave behind the self-betrayal
And the urge to standstill
What did I do to break
Now I’m feeling again
And freedom came so fearlessly
I feel lost
I am lost
Search within our secrets sleep
Only courage liberates
And from my shell
I reach out to you
Search within and search without
Only boldness saves me now
and from my shell
I scream out to you

The Pieces
06:32
|

|
Why did you tear me up inside
And cut me loose for your demise
I couldn’t stand to watch you fall
You let me crash and hit the wall
You left me standing holding dust
You made my blood turn to rust
And now I walk in open space
Just to feel the warmth of your face
And now I've been away so long
Can't find a place where I belong
In a blind hypocrisy
You better find a place to call your own
And get up off your knees
Coz all you are is all you own
With every breath that I take
All of the pieces will fall into place
And every step that I take
Will leave you behind
Are you satisfied? Why are you so surprised?
Are you terrified? Why are you so sublime?
And now you’ve found your place to be
and built your own reality (own reality)
And now you finally dare to dream
And you can be all you can be
No more need to runWith every breath that I take
All of the pieces will fall into place
And every step that I take
Will leave you behind
Leave you behind
And now we've been away so long
Can't find a place where I belong
And you just can't let it be
You better find the one that cast the stone
And it will set you free
'Cause all you are is all you own
(is all you own)
With every breath that I take
All of the pieces will fall into place
And every step that I take
Will leave you behind
