Kind world
02:21

Been so long since I have listened
To my own heart's deep desire
What has happened to the child
I was when the world was kind
Grab some grass and find a clover
On the backyard of the farm
Dream it all before its over
Sound asleep under the clouds
Look ahead into the corn fields
Watch them dance among the wind
Summers last for us to sing
With the birds before they leave

Refuse to be loved
04:48
|

|
Do you refuse to be loved?
For you fall for the ones who don't care at all
That never care as much as I
Those who never see you through my eyes
Whose hands haven't written you words
That shall never be given to you
For you would never care, babe
As much as I do
And you fall for the others!
That don't need you the way I need
And you crave for another's
That don't listen the way I hear
So you want to be touched
By hands that don't want to discover your skin
But why don't you open your eyes
See how much I have to give?
Oh no, no
And I'm still waiting
Without knowing what I'm waiting for
Oh no, no
And I'm still hoping
Unsure if it's worth it or not
Now my home is this void
And the weather's as cold as the words that you told me
Back when we were still so close
Always been the one who knows you most
I dare you the craziest things
Like letting yourself go and see where you end up
But when I needed you the most
I might as well die than wait for you
And you fall for the others!
That don't need you the way I need
And you crave for another's
That don't listen the way I hear
Oh no, no
And I'm still waiting
Without knowing what I'm waiting for
Oh no, no
And I'm still hoping
Unsure if it's worth it or not
There's a lie we've been told
Ever since we were born
Who was it that told us
that love was a two person's job
Who told us?
oh, no, no
And I'm still waiting
Without knowing what I'm waiting for
Oh no, no
And I'm still hoping
Unsure if it's worth it or not
Do you refuse to be loved?

Lonely for a while
02:35
|
|||
|
come on inside
tell me about your night
sip from that glass of wine
filled with lemonade
'cause alcohol doesn't taste right
I put on your favorite song
take you by the hand
to the middle of the room
slip off your shoes
slide on the tile
forget we can't dance for a while
at 2 a.m.
you see how late it got
you find a place
to see your reflection on
and you notice
how alone you are
and you feel
how alone it is
you've been dancing
all alone
by yourself
in your room
but that's fine
you've been lonely for a while
but that's fine
you've been lonely for a while

Discover a new world
04:18

I woke up today
Feeling like somebody new
I torn up the old me
I won't longer be so blue
I've been awake
So talk to me
I'm always late
But you always have time to see me
I changed up the old ways
The old ways I've always been
I hope that you do the same
So that you can come with me
I threw out all my things
Goodbye to the warming town
I can't start missing it
I'm not coming back around
We'll be on our own
We'll discover a new world
Walk on the desert sand
Ignore the burning sun
We'll go on our own
We don't need anyone
Map all the new paths
Write our names on the map
We'll be on our own
We'll discover a new world
Walk on the desert sand
Ignore the burning sun
We'll go on our own
We don't need anyone
Map all the new paths
Write our names on the map
We'll be on our own
And we'll discover a new world
We'll be on our own
And we'll discover a new world
Discover a new world
Discover a new world

Apart at the seams

For you
I think I'd be whoever you needed me to be
Oh, for you, the you I make you up to be, I'd be for you
Someone I’m not for you, the one you want for you, I'd be someone brand new
I think I'd be a me who isn’t really me
For you, for you
But what would you be for me
Give me some honesty
Would it be a lot or less than what I need
Oh for me, would you be someone you're not for me
And I’d pull myself apart at the seams
If it means you’d look at me the way i need
And I’d sew myself again inside out
In hopes you’d like that side of me although I doubt
Rewrite my life to fit you right inside
Would you be kind and stay
Rewrite your name into my brain
You’d have nothing to hide
And stay, just stay inside
And I’d pull myself apart at the seams
If it means you’d look at me the way i need
And I’d sew myself again inside out
In hopes you’d like that side of me although I doubt
And I’d pull myself apart at the seams
If it means you’d look at me the way i need
And I’d sew myself again inside out
In hopes you’d like that side of me although I doubt

Emotional weather
03:26
|

|
I'm low again
And no one sees the pain behind my eyes
I start to think of ways this could go wrong again
I'm at the edge
I stare ahead
Right into the sun's disguise
The clouds don't lie
They never hide
Emotions inside someone else's eyes
So tell me how
come I always feel this way
and no one has a thing to say
Are my clouds that really good at hiding?
Where does my sun go these days?
Does it have nothing to say?
Like all the others they leave me in silence
So good at hiding
How come you always leave me this way
Are my clouds that good at hiding
How come you always leave me this way
Are my clouds that good at hiding
The storm
Behind my eyes
My brain dissolves
With the acid drips falling from the sky
How come you always leave me this way
Are my clouds that good at hiding
Where does my sun go these days?
Everyone leaves me in silence

Only inside me
03:03

one day I'll be able to
look at the stars and not think of you
and when that day comes
I'll finally be free from you
someday I won't hear your name
each time that I hear the rain
and when that time comes
the clouds will be free from you
cause half the dreams I dream
they come only to haunt me
and all the things I say
exist only inside me
sometimes everything is blue
when it all reminds me of you
but soon enough I hope
the colors will be free from you
each corner inside this house
is tainted with you somehow
I move around your ghost
with every word I wrote
cause all the things I say
exist only inside me
and all the things you said
were never real now were they?
and now you're in my dreams
wishing that you could haunt me
but I won't let you win
you're not that strong to kill me

Did we lose
04:47
|

|
you're a scavenger, you hunt
write a list of things you wanna kill
you're a scavenger, you hunt
i'm a prayer with no wish to kill
we meet in the woods
you stare right at me
you hunt for a soul
you lost yours on the battlefield
the changes are coming
and they won’t hold back
soon, there’ll be nothing left
on a river bed i float
away into the final cliff
your waste is my new home
i wonder what would happen if
you lost all the hopes
to conquer the world
there's so many signs
with nowhere to hide
the changes are coming
and they won’t hold back
soon, there’ll be nothing left
did we lose?
is it time
surrender to you
and all your crimes
did we lose?
there's no way back
is it time to surrender
with no regrets?
did we lose?
there's no way back
is it time to surrender
with no regrets?
did we lose?
there's no way out
is it time to surrender
to the weight of the crowd?
is it time to surrender?
with no regrets
there’s no way out
go with the crowd
is it time to surrender?
there’s no way back
did we lose?
No way out, no way out

Real (so real)

I’m too fond of sugar to believe your kiss isn’t delicious,
and I’m too far from reality, these days,
so I’ll refuse your points of view.
I would take the risk of singing “strawberry fields forever”,
but only if you could agree these days are ours and they’re so sweet.
Real, you’re too real,
can’t you be surreal
Real, you’re too real,
can’t you be surreal
Now I have favorite words and colors,
I want to be me instead of a cartoon.
I would write “it’s true” a zillion times,
until you could agree with me.
You won’t have to do a thing but smile, and I’ll smile too.
Now you know your face can be so sweet,
can you believe nothing is…
Real, you’re too real,
can’t you be surreal.
Real, you’re too real,
can’t you be surreal
Real, you’re too real,
can’t you be surreal.
Real, you’re too real,
can’t you be surreal.
Real, you’re too real,
can’t you be surreal.
Real, you’re too real,
can’t you be surreal.
Real, you’re too real,
can’t you be surreal.
Real, you’re too real,
can’t you be surreal.

Leads me nowhere

why
do I keep trying?
when it only leads me nowhere
why
do I keep trying?
when it only leads me nowhere
how long
can I keep this on?
don’t have much time before I’m giving up
how long
can I keep this on?
why
why do I keep on trying
when it only leads me nowhere
how long un-
how long until
I give it all up?
I give it all up
why, why do I keep on trying?
when it only leads me nowhere

alex and us Lisbon, Portugal
Alex, we think, is the ghost that keeps haunting us to create and play. Sometimes we opt to just fear it and hide. Ocasionally we are drawn to release stuff that hopefully other haunted souls can relate to.
All is fun.
