Somebody Else

Drifting on the airwaves
Stuck with earphones on
Can't feel no connection with the world around you
Like overwhelmed by signals
Caught in a million wires
I keep on trying to believe
It's not too late to change, no
It's like everyone needs to share
And wanna be adopted
How many likes just to feel alive?
Are we all disconnected?
Can't get no reception
Yet every streets are crowded
And all is too intense
But nothing is ever made to last here
Plasticize these feelings
A dozen filters on the face
And tell me how you're feeling
How can we find ourselves in their world
If we're all dreaming to be somebody else...
And only suffer the difference?
Drifting on the airwaves
Like tryna forget what's wrong
Can't feel no connection with the world around you
Like seeing the world expire
Caught in a million wires
I keep on tryna believe it's not too late to change
I'm sick of seeing ads
Sick of being forced to watch
So sick of being told who I am
I'm sick of hearing lies
So sick of hearing lies
So tired of trying
How can we find ourselves in their world
If we're all dreaming to be somebody else...
And only suffer the difference?
Can't get no reception

Deep Blue

Can't stop yourself from thinking
It's slowly sinking deep under your skin
And slowly wiping out in the blue
But it keeps constellating your mind at dawn
You're lost again
It all feels vain
And yet the sun keeps shining again
You drew a line a thousand times
And yet the sky keeps clouding over
Just take my hand and
Close your eyes
It's far from over
We're far from home
And I can't deny there's only hell ahead
You'll never escape the grey in your mind
Open your arms and embrace it
You'll never escape the weight of your heart
Just drown yourself in the feeling
Just take my hand and close your eyes
It's far from over
We're far from home
And I can't deny there's only hell ahead
Can't stop your heart from sinking
It's gently dragging you down in this grave
I watch it drowning down inside you
And it keeps constellating your mind and soul
You drew a line, a thousand times
But all the pain is taking over
You're lost again, it all feels vain
And yet the sun keeps shining
If you change the way you look at things
The things you look at change
Just find that little something
I swear the beauty is everywhere
It's only yours to see
It's all in your hands
It's all in your hands...

I remember each one of our secrets
Every single moment
Every single fucking thing I would've loved to tell you
It's been a while I guess
You may be watching from the cold rain clouds
They are never really leaving me
I keep staring at the mirror
Hoping it all gets clearer
But I know it will never be the same
I guess I miss you more than what my heart can ever sing
All these dreams we shared are bringing it all back
I truely hope that you can't see
What time has turned ourselves into
We don't behave like all the ghosts
You locked inside all these empty rooms
No matter the years and the pouring rain
I remember your smile everyday
Just can't forget the promise we made
Even though...
It's been a while now
You told me some wounds never heal
Cause they are meant to make us stronger
Each one of these memories I got left
Let them last a bit longer
Just a bit longer
I'm still laying on this bed sometimes
Open wounds facing the stars
Remembering your voice as it gets dark
Oh time steals us everything...
But time is all we got here
So I will live and I will surely fall
But I will fight to know what it takes to feel alive
What it's like to be a little more like you
Just a little more like you
You told me some wounds never heal
Cause they are meant to make us stronger
Each one of these memories I got left
Let them last a bit longer
Just a bit longer

Modern Slave

Let me escape
This chronic feeling sinking into me
When I'm gazing at the black empty skies
Bring me closer to the firmament's light
And just don't let me come down
Don't let me come down
Take me away far from what eyes can see
Before my reveries come to an end
Don't wanna be a modern slave
Of this wall-less prison
I've seen enough of the man-made hell
Masking the horizon
Don't bring me back to the ground
Life looks better up there
Far from the noises of the world
(Far from the hell on the ground)
Don't bring me back down
Let me get far away from...
Far from the hell on the ground
Show me there's something more than...
These open graveyards of metal
Take me away from this wasteland built on lies
Mirrors of our fucking greed
Reflect of our vanity
Drowned in the crowd
Consumed by the world's effervescence
This whole system's a circus...
I don't ever wanna come back down
Don't bring me back to the ground
Life looks better up there
Far from the noises of the world
(Far from the hell on the ground)
Don't bring me back down
Let me get far away from...
Far from the hell on the ground

I'm sick of spending all these days
Looking for some nepenthe
Like atelophobic and solivagant
How could I believe in magic
When we all feel so alone
And only try to survive for redamancy?
I'm pacing downtown everynight
And everyone's giving advice
But no one really seems to give a shit
So who's gonna...
Who's gonna be my catharsis
And get me outside of my head
When I'm one breath away from drowning?
Guess I been wasting time as it's wasting me
Nicotine in the veins
A thousand wishes hanging on my lip tips
How could I believe in magic
When we are all so alone
And only try to survive all the things we feel?
Surfing on liberosis
Don't wanna know if I still bleed
Just wanna feel like dust in the winds
Let me drown in velleities
Don't wanna know if I still breathe
Just wanna feel the light on my face
No one will ever try to break the silence
When it's burning out my conscience
When it's running every inch of my mind
Here, even just to feel is complex
But I wanna try and dare
Take a moment to admire the world

Is this where all is ending?
Cause I don't wanna leave right now you know...
(Don't let the night in)
Can't seem to stop the bleeding
Just can't pretend I got this in control
(You should have seen it coming)
I don't wanna feel the comedown
Just wanna feel it bite and burn me whole
(And watch me fade into the flames)
I'm only going nowhere
Or straight into the fucking wall
(Can't you feel?)
Can't prove me wrong
Just kill this now
I wanna see what will survive
Just say you'll try and swear it on my life
Even if deep down we both know you lie
Tell me this life is harmless
While it's skinning me to the bones
Looking me straight in the eyes
When it is stealing my breath
Tell me the scars will make sense
When the wounds are way too deep
Don't let me believe that it's gonna end like this
This feeling is like a fire
Rushing in these veins
Keeping me alive when your eyes are on me
I can't escape these colors
You designed inside of my brain
When you let the lights in
Can anybody stay here?
Don't really wanna sleep right now, you know...
(Don't let the night in)
I wanna keep believing
This will all make sense somehow
(Let me feel)
Can't prove me wrong
Just kill this now
I wanna see what will survive
Just say you'll try and swear it on my life
Even if deep down we both know you lie
Tell me this life is harmless
While it's skinning me to the bones
Looking me straight in the eyes
When it is stealing my breath
Tell me the scars will make sense
When the wounds are way too deep
Don't let me believe that it's gonna end like this
I stand here and sometimes
My words don't make sense
Like they only fade away
And disappear beneath the voice of my own silence
But you keep me breathing
And right here I feel alive...
You've always been the brighter part of me
The brighter part of me
The brighter part of me
This feeling is like a fire
Rushing in these veins
Keeping me alive when your eyes are on me
I can't escape these colors
You designed inside of my brain
When you let the lights in
I can't escape these colors
When you let the lights in
I can't escape these colors
When you let the lights in

Under the dismal eyes of the azure
Watching us with indifference
We walk like the kings of ignorance
And die like the waves on the shoreline
Can't escape the call of oblivion
Tell me what matters in the end of it all
Is there a sens to this sempiternal questioning
If we don't live forever?
Aren't you tired of watching the stars
Waiting for answers?
Nothing await us in the sky
Only the void is real
And this endless silence
We're going nowhere
Living like I'm broken
I've never been so sick
'Cause everything has turned into a burden
I am not the person I used to be
Lost in the galaxy
Trying to hear a sound from the deep
But this silence is everlasting
Under the dismal eyes of the azure
Watching us with indifference
We walk like the kings of ignorance
And die like the waves on the shoreline
I ain't gonna try to fill the void of misery
Cause it feels like everyday's the worst
I'm gonna feed the words by any means
I'm trying to be the one
Betrayed, all alone
Because all I want is to see the world
And feel the ground under my feet
Aren't you tired of watching the stars
Waiting for answers?
Nothing await us in the sky
Only the void is real
And this endless silence

It's coming in waves, just breathe
And keep your eyes closed
Let it bury you
I know you will be alright
It comes like the rain
Don't think and keep your eyes closed
'Till the clouds are gone
You'll see, it'll be just fine
Conjure this feeling of solitude
A thousand screens on the wall
Lay down the cross of your onism
Burning you down to the roots
Don't thrill when it slowly takes you under
And the flames all around are climbing higher
Can't keep on taking the suffering
Over and over again
And feel you're just a shadow on the wall
Can't shed your soul and pretend you heal
Over and over again everyday
This is a battle against your heart
This is a war against yourself
Don't let all your doubts
Consume everything you know
Feel your heart
Don't let the world prevent you
From making it your own
Feel your heart

Human Condition
04:13
|

|
I feel like we rely on a fucking billion empty words
And lies of a thousand years of cultural conditioning
Trapped in an endless spiral, left with a dying heart
I can't recognize the dreams I used to have
Just give me things to admire
I'm running running
Running away from you,
From the human condition
I'm bleeding, bleeding
Trying to let this go
This isn't a call for help
It is a call to fight for revolution
Cause I can't free my mind
So let me watch this perfect world burn
I can't stand to see us fall apart
To watch us all walk like we're all worthless
To know we're deeply blackened to the core
I wonder if we can still feel something
Don't tell me the truth
I just want a lie this time
Don't tell me the truth
I just need a lie this time
Cause this sight won't hold me back
Just give me things to admire
I'm running running
Running away from you
From the human condition
I'm bleeding, bleeding
Trying to let this go
