1. LUXURY OF A DISTRACTION

I saw the way some people choke into their wrapper
Well-ironed suit, and like a penguin one, pull their own chest
Like have oneself the luxury of a distraction
Were the vilest of the sins

No, no, never be the duffer
No, no, never be the duffer
For real, never be the duffer, but neither a fake of yourself
No, no, never be the duffer
No please, never be the duffer
You know that I've never seen people saving each other
Saving each other

I saw the way so little people, so short to move
Can pull out so much hate to fill a stadium
I didn't see them smiling or having a tantrum
I saw them claiming for a right

When you know you're facing iron enemies
With old look, you see the time is not a lie
For you who are real, so real
Never, never, never drop your guard

No, no, never be the duffer
No, no, never be the duffer
For real, never be the duffer, but neither a fake of yourself
No, no, never be the duffer
No please, never be the duffer
You know that I've never seen people saving each other
Saving each other

Alone, in your box, I know, you feel protected, that weight as warranty of your being alive
But you know when it's time to let it fall apart

No, no, never be the duffer
No, no, never be the duffer
For real, never be the duffer, but neither a fake of yourself
No, no, never be the duffer
No please, never be the duffer
You know that I've never seen people saving each other
Saving each other


2. THE WITNESS

I survived
Thousands of years
Under
The sand

Call me “your god”
Because I am the one who knows
Your destiny

You have to leave your fears behind
Take my hand to know the secrets
Of the D.N.A

Follow me
I am the lord of knowledge
The prophet of an ancient past
(The) witness of (The) human failure
You put aside my teaching
And the respect for mother earth
You've buried me, (And) now we'll see

(It's) time to rise
Thousands of lies
Above
The sand

I'm just a brick
Let's start to rebuild
Your pyramid

Follow me
I am the lord of knowledge
The prophet of ancient past
(The) witness of (The) human failure
You put aside my teaching
And the respect for mother earth
You buried me, (And) now we'll see


3. MISSING WORDS

I seldom see your gentle face, your lovely ways
The places and the sounds I lived when you were there
And you've spoken to my eyes and filled the void into my brain
I was fragile and I felt for a while like in a shelter

And you know when I cry and dig inside of me
Then I look for the moments when I used to live
Finding every word swallowed for a matter of pride
'Cause only there I find you
And I remember now to bring you back
I remember the stories and the bruise on my hand
To tell you more about me
For the time you had beside me

So going on and bang my head I realized
That coolness is a weapon that you can't deny
'Cause while you lose your time to get your own integrity
It erodes your humanity
Does it slowly, does it from within

And you know when I cry and dig inside of me
Then I look for the moments when I used to live
Finding every word swallowed for a matter of pride
'Cause only there I find you
And I remember now to bring you back
I remember the stories and the bruise on my hand
To tell you more about me
For the time you had beside me

In my nights, forever dense, I guess you're here
It seems I can catch you now, not to let you go
Catch you now, not to let you go, because now I know
And now I hear you, now I know
'Cause now...

And from the top of my reserve without a sense
One day I came there just in time to say goodbye
Then I've reached the highest peaks of world, I did all by myself
(I) tried to thank you for the first time
But maybe I didn‘t shout enough

And you know when I cry and dig inside of me
Then I look for the moments when I used to live
Finding every word swallowed for a matter of pride
'Cause only there I find you
And I remember now to bring you back
I remember the stories and the bruise on my hand
To tell you more about me
For the time you had beside me


4. ALIVE

Alive, I felt I was alive
The room shook under his nervous steps
I wished to not o-open my eyes, anymore

In my house everything was unfamiliar
Wasn't him, wasn't his fury on my bones
I was wrong; I could make amend the problem that I had created
And I still hung, with my nails and all my memories
I was less than the idea he had about me
While I kept telling myself “I just have to wait for it to pass”

The hell was mine but I needed to
Believe, as I still breathed
I could never be more blessed than this, oh no...

In my house everything was unfamiliar
Wasn't him, wasn't his fury on my bones
I was wrong, I could make amend the problem that I had created
When words hurt more than a whole night with him
My son shadow turns me back to forgive
With a fast rewind, I forgot any wounds on my raped mind

And your dreams, who knows where are now...
And my dreams had fallen down to resist

In my house everything was unfamiliar
He was, and was his fury on my bones
I knew I couldn't make amend the problem that I didn't create
The main effort, to admit that I had really failed
That I'd known the most degrading misery
To discover that I could deserve more than a daily dread


5. THE BIG TRICK

Don't you know about HIV, the avian flu, diphtheria or tetanus?
Don't you know about mercury and its compounds?
What can they do on babies' brain?

Hello, I'm a new vaccine
Ready to bring you a safe long life

It's time for the big trick
Truth will not be revealed
Until we take the rabbit out, surprise

In a world full of lies
I'm not sure of what I'm trying
They tell it's better for me
I only have to obey
In a world full of light
This deceit can't exist
But we cannot disobey
So we continue to pay

Don't you know about slim disease, AIDS, malaria in Africa?
Don't you know about AZT, some funny names and all of those big miracles?

Hello, I'm a new vaccine
Ready to make you a slave of lords

It's time for the big trick
Truth will not be revealed
Until we take the rabbit out, surprise

In a world full of lies
I'm not sure of what I'm trying
They tell it's better for me
I only have to obey
In a world full of light
This deceit can't exist
But we cannot disobey
So we continue to pay

In a world full of lies
I'm not sure of what I'm trying
They tell it's the only way
To extend my day(s)
In a world full of light
This deceit can't exist
But we cannot disobey
So we continue to pay

Covered by my money-shield, protected by blind ways of life
Hidden by obscurity of crazy illness I create
Guided by a selfish power, control is my only goal
Disguised as the good one I will teach you how to save your lives


6. TOUCHING THE RAIN

Stuck in a foam of a waterfall
No walls and lights
My brain starts bleeding, I can't see the truth
Since I notice I'm watching

The rain
Don't you know that name?
Push that away
Both unknown and safe
Feel the rain
When you know that game
You will play
A world with no feelings
You're away...

Like on a carousel you look around
Are you really seeing?
Stumbling and trembling, you're falling into
Disappearing bed

I'm climbing a stairway with no steps
(And) keep going down
My eyes starts bleeding, my arms are in pain
Since I notice I'm touching

The rain
Don't you know that name?
Push that away
Both unknown and safe
Feel the rain
When you know that game
You will play
In a sea with no feelings
You're away...

Lost, confused

(It's) the rain
Don't you know that name?
Push that away
Both unknown and safe
Feel the rain
When you play that game
Kiss the pain
And now open your feelings
Pick the way


7. CYNIC

When I sold it, just for anger
My heart as a sinner was fine in that shape

Tell me about when you found me
Tell me about when you found me, babe
Tell me about when you cured me
Tell me about when you cured me

All I wanted to forget remains
And I forgot all that I wished
'Cause all I need has found me, just as I let myself fray
From time I delay
All I wanted to forget remains but I feel I don't mind
No regrets sitting on my chest
Now I can leave my failures and worries behind

In that song I hear my
Inspiration drained and
That I could no longer love, oh no

All I wanted to forget remains
And I forgot all that I wished
'Cause all I need has found me, just as I let myself fray
From time I delay
All I wanted to forget remains but I feel I don't mind
No regrets sitting on my chest
Now I can leave my failures and worries behind

My cynicism covered by the show of a clearer sight
And I'll break the screen and I'll cross it all
Until I find an aim as you teached me so
I never felt self-consciousness before
That's the way I feel, I feel, I feel...

All I wanted to forget remains
And I forgot all that I wished
'Cause all I need has found me, just as I let myself fray
From time I delay
All I wanted to forget remains but I feel I don't mind
No regrets sitting on my chest
Now I can leave my failures and worries behind

I know we are forced to prove with common acts an unordinary feeling
We blame the time for not giving us time to dare

All I wanted to forget remains
And I forgot all that I wished
'Cause all I need has found me, just as I let myself fray
From time I delay
All I wanted to forget remains but I feel I don't mind
No regrets I left behind


8. LIVING TODAY

Since I was a kid
Used to think that life is mean
We wait for a time
But our life is not a train or a ride
When it's time they keep saying
But to me it all sounds very same
Everyday taken from the last
Oh it's like living into the past

Nothing
No waiting today
Hoping for something
Then giving up
Just take it
There's no need to pray
You're living today
That's all we are
One day I woke up
And realized I've been never like you
You're seeking a way
To drown every kind of thought and your needs

You'll find out going through
What you're missing is your only life
Everyday taken from the last
Oh it's like living into the past
I was ashamed but I am not you
No I'm not you
No I'm not you

Nothing
No waiting today
Hoping for something
Then giving up
Just take it
There's no need to pray
You're living today
That's all we are


9. THIRD MILLENNIUM MAN

We are born knowing what we'll become
We're content with the crumbs left on the ground
And don't want you and I don't want you but how I need you!
'Cause your humor is infectious and laughing is good

On my table everyday a brown delicacy
(And) each time I surprise by how good it is
And when someone tells me about better stuff and dares to
Suggest "it isn't chocolate", I say he's such a fool

In the same position, in
The mildest unawareness
We overdose on sarcasm and then we need it again

We are delude that we will not be able to
Become what we want but it's the biggest rule
This is the way we think we are free but we're under control
Revolution is supposed to be but we're missing the call

We are born knowing what we'll become
We're content with the crumbs left on the ground
And don't want you and I don't want you but how I need you!
'Cause your humor is infectious and laughing is good

Polemic and yes-men, pissed off and indolent
Are we the third millennium men?
When we're wrapped up in that upset we call depression then
We don't have a god to commend our soul either

We are born knowing what we'll become
We're content with the crumbs left on the ground
And don't want you and I don't want you but how I need you
'Cause your humor is infectious and laughing is good

We are born knowing what we'll become
We're content with the crumbs left on the ground
And don't want you and I don't want you but how I need you
'Cause your humor is infectious and laughing is good


10. NOIR DESIRE

Another rainy night
Alone
Smoking another cigarette

Walking under the bridge
I'm thinking
The look is far away from here

Can you smell the scent of blood?
The symphony
Of life and death

It's you dying by my hand
Are your cries of fear exciting me?
Above all the rest
Is the adrenaline in my veins

Seeking a victim for
My needs
A scapegoat for my mortal sins

I saw her singing inside
A smoky club
Her eyes were hypnotizing me

I can smell the scent of fear
Eyes open wide
Asking me why

It's you dying by my hand
Are your cries of fear exciting me?
Above all the rest
Is the adrenaline in my veins


11. INK

Dark ink, thrown in/on a sheet of paper
Precious therapy for my mind
It's scathing like thoughts
I put in the hands of world

Burn
Full pages burn while a wall
Made of silence grows

I got to give my all
So that no one knows
I got to give my all
Without a word makes noise
Tracing lines that scratch inside

I can exist in a sign
And feel myself free
I can exist in a fragment
Of reality and wish to escape outside

It's always by my side this two-dimensional playground
I don't look around

Burn
Full pages burn while a wall
Made of silence grows

I'm not sorry, and I could explain but I can't think
When I will become only a gust in the rain
When I'll feel the void around me
And the restless silence of absence of time
If those words will remain or fade
While the dark ink still burns
In a drawer

Burn
Full pages burn while a wall
Made of silence grows

Burn
Full pages burn while a wall
Made of silence grows


12. YOUR WAY

Deny here
The words you had to be
Just try to stop it with the games of your fear
Now feel it
The path is in your breath
The blood is leading to a change

And there's a way for you to see
That your life is more than space and time
Is beyond any given belief
There's a way for you to see the light
But I know you won't get it through me
That's the way you can transcend your name
By yourself you can go for it

Become here
The world you want to be
Just try to dive into the colors of your will
Now keep it
The beat is in your chest
Your heart is giving you a chance

And there's a way for you to see
That your life is more than space and time
Is beyond any given belief
There's a way for you to see the light
But I know you won't get it through me
That's the way you can transcend your name
But alone you will find it near

And there's no prophet to believe
If there is a meaning in your life
It's right inside your own skin
I won't tell you how to find your way
'cause I wish you could really be free
There's nobody that I'm trying to save
There's no truth I could ever give

Oh there's a way for you to see
That your life is more than space and time
Is beyond any given belief

There's a way for you to see the light
But I know you won't get it through me

That's the way you can transcend your name
Just alone you will feel it here


13. REALIES

I'm feeling lost
Tears fall in the dust
Tracing sign deep as pain
And doubt is all around
Like a crown
Of thorns surrounding us

Be my guide to show
Me how to live without fear
Burn my eyes cold as ice
Let my inner strength fight
Against
The sense of freeze

There's a moment in time
To wake up and arise
As criminal stealing the truth from dreams
There is low and there is high
There's the day and the night
Future comes from the past through the light

I'll be there
To reach a new state of consciousness
Sometimes means take U-turn
Die and born
Take the best of you to learn
Climb the highest mountains found on the road
And it's time to realize
Take the red pill so tight
Life will never be the same
You'll see the truth beyond your eyes
Face the lies
Turn the page and break the line
Unleash the power hidden inside you
And free your state of mind

A question mark
Pulsing in my brain
When I close my eyes
Hope to become blind to
Discover
(The) real essence through the mask
Be my guide to show
Me how to live without fear
Burn my eyes cold as ice
Let my inner strength fight
Against
The sense of freeze

I'll be there
To reach a new state of consciousness
Sometimes means
Take U-turn, die and born
Take the best of you to learn
Climb the highest mountains found on the road
And it's time to realize
Take the red pill so tight
Life will never be the same
You'll see the truth beyond your eyes
Face the lies
Turn the page and break the line
Unleash the power hidden inside you
And free your state of mind

And it's time to realize
Take the red pill so tight
And your life will never be the same
You'll see the truth beyond your eyes
Face the lies
Turn the page and break the line
Unleash the power hidden inside you
And free your mind

Take U-turn
Die and born
Take the best of you to learn
Climb the highest mountains found on the road
(And) you'll see you have climbed without ropes
You're the only one who knows
