De Profundis 07:10
De Profundis I speak of the people who can talk to mountains And of the galaxies that silently change angles Mocking our despair And I speak of hope, a sweet caress of light On the face a life tool and of the voiceless abandonment That gloomy supper And from my life incastible Take me to the dark side of time Where veiled from profane eyes Future secretly meets the past in sacred passion Oh speak to me of present eternal As simple as oblivion as naked as truth Oh speak to me

Roman Candles There I go where you can’t follow-Strange I know but can save me from sorrow I’m really fed up to explain this or that,I’m here and nowhere can you cope with that? In the center of the storm,there I go,what is worth the kingdom of boredom? And I will drink the strong drinks,drinks of the brave Until the last drop,to a great fall I wish I could erase the superstitions in your mind And kill the dragon who stands at the door of your heart Count the stars,do you know how many are? We had enough of lies,let’s re-invent truth There I go,there I go With a head up and a lion heart Roman candles slowly burn Roman candles slowly burn Roman candles will light up the night

Money Lenders & Other Saints Thousand children die every day Because their parents believe in wrong gods Countless children missing every day Because you let it happen You don’t give a damn Seems it goes on forever the same old plans A handful of money lenders and other saints Feed you with lies but they care about your lives Like an endless night ignores the day light The stars don’t look so peaceful tonight This is the hell that you created You can’t escape anymore There’s a bill you got to pay You’re against the wall
4.
Vanity 04:34
Vanity Born in the darkness came up in the light A million stars ahead out of sight A code reveals what a poet raised A lie became truth,the vision has changed Whatever you see it depends of how you see It’s hard to keep everyone satisfied,it’s hard to be free The knowledge is a tree,the unknown tree In front of your very eyes But you just can’t see In the desert of your busy mind The silence is a noise,peace you’ll never find The secret of secrets sounds real,sounds fake Death becomes life under a glorious rain Whatever you see it depends of how you see It’s hard to keep everyone satisfied,it’s hard to be free Vanity starts to cry, the wisdom simply smiles The clock is ringing,awakening the butterflies

29th Parallel Echoes from a dry well,scars from years in a cell Things you can always tell like many beasts in a cage He was filled with seething rage and then his insticts took center stage We need to forgive you, we tried to destroy you Pushing harder and harder to see what you would do Fears of a desperate man crushed in his trembling hands Carved like an innocent lamb,they tried to change his perceptions He ignored their frequent deceptions,walked out and lost all reception We thought we learned how to teach you but we couldn’t even reach you Maybe now you can sympathize with our views Don’t have to clean the slate,you can reset the scale But don’t have to lose the weight Don’t have to sell the book,mistakes were committed,you’re off the hook We’re over here debating what’s fair Unless you give us another chance,we’ll never know you care The flowers you planted are blooming in the mirror Your second sight has faded but the picture’s so much clearer Growing old is not easy steal more of his time He’s ready to embrace you so be the first in line The only one who understands and navigates your mind On the 29th Parallel you’ll find him The child you bargain with but never leave behind

Darkly Bryter Just because life can kill you doesn’t mean you’re dead It’s all about me and you,the paths that we cross I’ve been away from everything I’ve been away from you The ghosts have finally gone away where they belong Darkly Bryter looks like poetry, dark subjects dressed in light Under the shadow of a tree Just because life can kill you doesn’t mean you’re dead Every good and evil is located in sense And death is deprivation of sensation When we live death is not there And when death comes we don’t live anymore Yet now we’re still alive,who could ask for more? Just because life can kill you doesn’t mean you’re dead Future is not entirely our own Nor completely beyond us There’s a pleasure when the body does not suffer The pleasure that do not agitate the soul The pleasure of being alive to feel the sun light Just because life can kill you doesn’t mean you’re dead

The Reason 03:26
The Reason I respect any underrated truth, I reject any overrated virtue Dark exists because of light, wrong exists because of right Day exists because of night, haze exists because of bright I respect any underrated truth, I reject any overrated virtue

Nature Of Things Don’t believe any conviction Other than your own And don’t respect even your own Until you really know Look into the Nature Of Things Until the dream spell disappears I don’t believe in any hype Hype is just a hype I’ve had enough of all those lies Nature never lies The hired preachers cannot convince me I draw my own guiding line I fly and smile forever more Nothing can close my open door I know I ‘m not alone
10.
Voices 03:10
Voices Loved idealized voices of those who have died Or of those lost for us like the dead Sometimes they speak to us in dreams Sometimes deep in thought the mind hears them And with their sound for a moment return Sounds from our life’s first poetry Like a distant music fading away at night C.P.Cavafy 1904

Lazy Day 03:01
Lazy Day Lazy Day take my Pain away Lazy Day take my Pain away I miss speaking my mind Communicating my thoughts Baby let’s fill up this place I miss just sitting down relaxing Drinking coffee in outer space Lazy Day take my Pain away Lazy Day take my Pain away I miss holding you,saying nothing Smelling your hair Drifting silently away Been working hard for a living Daydreaming Life is killing me slowly Day by day Lazy Day take my Pain away Lazy Day take my Pain away

I Got No Plans(Release) Standing on the corner waiting for the world Watching the day go by Things happen fast,the good things pass You feel like you have to hide No places to go,no people to see So I thought to give this a try It’s kinda nice to not think twice But watching my day go by I got no plans to do anything,I got no plans today I’ve got some things that I could be doing But I’d rather be here instead Leave the chores behind and clean my mind Do some cleaning in my head Watching all the day as it comes my way And it’s nice to take this time I had some hard days but they’re gone away And now I need to rest my mind I got no plans to do anything,I got no plans today This don’t pay good and the neighborhood Thinks I’m just a lazy guy But I can feel the sun and I don’t have to run I don’t have to wonder why The best things I do, are free it’s true That’s a very good way to be Watching all the day, smiling away I got no plans today I’m free I got no plans to do anything, I got no plans today (release)

Missing Link 03:32
Missing Link Every day I’m lucky that I can still breathe When you think I’m in the the east I’m already in the west My mind is racing back and forth I'm heading south but travelling north It makes me wonder where I am Where am I today? I'm your friend your missing link I'm your lover your red ink Every night I watch the stars,mysteries never solved You might think I’m a dreamer but I ‘m not I sit and think of childhood friends And those I’ll never see again It makes me wonder who I am Who am I today? I'm your friend your missing link I'm your lover your red ink The inside joke is told to those Who don’t compose what no one knows The enigma seals the answer from the question Solve the riddle Solve the riddle I'm your friend your missing link I'm your lover your red ink

More Than a Name World gone mad,common sense is gone that’s sad Masked goons play their role in a madness show Guess who’s bad? Who decides what you can do Or what you can’t do? Who decides what is legal when an obvious lie become truth? You can call my name A name is just a name But I’m more than a name My spirit has no name It’s a voice and a flame Cause I’m more than a name More than a name I decided a long ago to keep on keeping on Expanding my own awareness of what it’s going on Have we really lost perception? So we believe in what they say? We know what empathy and love means We know the puppets role they play You can call my name A name is just a name But I’m more than a name My spirit has no name It’s a voice and a flame Cause I’m more than a name More than a name

What’s Worse? What’s worse?Not knowing or feeling everything? What’s worse?Staying still or baring myself to the sting? What’s worse?Smiles around or my head in the sand? What’s worse?Singing truth or things I don’t understand? What’s worse? All is a blessing we can feel the curse It’s what we do,it’s what we feel It’s what it is,tears and happiness What’s worse?The crystal shining,the dew on the lawn Or the memories of faces once here now gone? What’s worse?The steps that I never take? Or the dreams that play when I am awake? What’s worse? All is a blessing we can feel the curse It’s what we do,it’s what we feel It’s what it is,tears and happiness What’s worse?Being alive or being dead? Been trapped in a soul or trapped in a head? What’s worse?Waiting for your call or being so cold? I just don’t care,I don’t care at all All is a blessing we can feel the curse It’s what we do,it’s what we feel It’s what it is,tears and happiness

Out of Your Mind Look at the shadows behind the fire How nicely they dance like birds on a wire Changing shapes never stay the same The world on fire waiting for the rain Don’t move stay where you are Outside is dangerous Are you out of your mind? Here we are safe,climbing up the tide And if it is to die let me be by your side What happened to you? What’s your problem? There’s no solution without a problem Don’t move stay where you are Outside is dangerous Are you out of your mind? Give me a smile it might be alright Outside is dangerous Are you out of your mind?

N.E.T. 03:39
N.E.T. Not enough time to read books Not enough time to explore new things To decipher the whispers the wind blows near Spells the riddle of stars In the midnight sky To master the art of fishing on ice Spend the day with an Eskimo To learn the language of birds To write an immortal poem To find the ancient origin of the word “Labyrinth” Not Enough Time Not enough time to discover your face To see the shadows within the image To reach from soul to soul Music goes silent After the battle Not Enough Time

We Need A Happy Ending Heroes for a day or slaves every day? Shall I go or shall I stay? Winners for a day or losers any day? When money rules the world what can I say? Father I’m only dreaming Father I ‘m still dreaming I wish I had the chance to see a better world But I ‘m only dreaming At Vincent Van Gogh street I ‘m drifting in a dream Swimming in the colors of life’s stream And as I grow old I realize how little I know A lot has left to learn and a lot more to burn Father I’m only dreaming Father I ‘m still dreaming I wish I had the chance to see a better world But I ‘m only dreaming Life became addiction to a smart phone Technologies go high and we go down alone The lights are fading, I guess it’s time to go I’ll see you the next time through another song I’ll see you the next time through another song We need a happy ending for ever more We need a happy ending for ever more
