...And the Hand Waved

Into the mountains, into the fog
I will go far from all the ones I loved
Into cold water, into the sun
It doesn't matter where I have to go
This is my last chance to say goodbye
And please don't ever ask me why
A new beginning, another way
I'll write my future from today
This is my last chance to say goodbye
And please don't ever ask me why
A new beginning, another way
I'll write my future from today
//Time to say farewell to you //
// I know my time will come one day //

Between the World and Me
03:08
|

There’s a whole world outside my window
I’ve heard many times that it spins while I’m breathing
That’s why people in China are awake while I sleep
And the sun goes down every afternoon and hides in the sea
I believe in evolution thanks to monkeys and Darwin
I don’t trust in institutions that repeat the tales of Adam and Eve
I think that we’re not alone in this huge solar system
It’s an egocentric thought to deny the existence of UFOs
I can see the world that’s outside my window, but a wall keeps me inside
In my mind there are conspiracy theories
about evil companies that move the brain of this world
That’s why people disappear every night while I sleep
and corrupt politicians reach the power even though they are mean
I will like to go outside to defend my ideas
I prefer to risk my life and not be quiet for the rest of my days
I live between four walls that are as thick as a brick
That’s the punishment for “mad men”, for “mad men” like me
I can see the world that’s outside my window, but a wall keeps me inside
I was silenced for a lifetime, against my freedom of speech
I’m a prisoner for having my own beliefs,
I’m not the only one with this conviction, I know you’ll like to come with me
We can go swimming against the waves, together no one will be afraid
I can see the world that’s outside my window, but a wall keeps me inside

Loneliness
04:15
|
|||
Chasing bunnies in the garden,
growing flowers with the morning sun
they know you love ‘em
Lonely hours, written letters,
we all know there’s someone that you want
to be your best friend
But there’s no one that could be your friend
just too many people with familiar faces
there are days when you feel all alone
and you just want to ask for support
Your hope fades away… away
People that you think you know, a giant list of numbers in your phone
and there’s no one to count on.
A book of stories you could tell, a million places for a date but you have no one to go with.
You have sparkling eyes and maked up face
that is all that you can show to hide your sadness.
You should smoke cigars and drink some wine
Just to show yourself that they’re your best companion.
Between the silent walls no one talks, my agony remains inside my room
so no one will notice
I recall my early days, never thought that I would be alone
with no one to love me.
The clouds get dark and the rain falls
crying eyes and broken voice… No more!
In the echoes something let me think
there is someone that might love me while I’m dying

He's Gone
04:08
|

It’s not fair for he was taken away
Now his gone; he’s really gone
They cut his long life in a few seconds
Then he fell and he died at the same spot he was born
One by one they keep falling, condemned to stay down
Their spaces are now taken by spots to sit down
Under his shade I knew the meaning of hush
Breathing with his lungs I found the cure for my madness
But he’s gone, now he’s gone forever
And we couldn’t say good bye
Reposing in his shadow I smiled to nature
I enjoyed with him the delicate dance of wind
They chopped his body with an ax in their hands
Now we can buy him in the shape of a chair
His family keeps getting smaller as his departure arrives

Flying Bull
02:49
|

Every sunday in the morning the people fill the stands
They are waiting for a bullfight, the bulls wait for their chance
Chance to break out of their prison and battle to survive
In a bullring filled with killers that want to take their lifes
Flying, flying bull; he was in panic flying bull
Trying to scape from the bullring, flying bull
Once he smelled the scent of freedom his courage made him jump
Sored above the walls of torture and landed on the crowd
Then he went into a rampage and people had to run
So that sunday in the morning the bull got his revenge
Flying, flying bull; he was in panic flying bull
Trying to scape from the bullring, flying bull

Parents and Son
05:28
|

Tell me why, my dying son is waiting, yes he’s dying and you don’t let me be next to him
Step aside, I see no stop signs, I don’t care what you may say
Oh, crying out, desperation came while they arrived, in a bed he lied next to them.
Death, death was near, his heart was beating slowly, no sign of hope seemed to come
Fear seemed so close, but his parents came and held his hand, then the beating had a second chance
Open your eyes, it’s day one, it’s the start
Open your arms, welcome home with mom and dad
Bye, I said good bye, please come back and let me be your friend… just like every other day
Hi, I said hi, l missed you while you went away, l just wished to hug you again.
Waiting they stood, never leaving when they were apart, never talked while they where near.
Strenght, keep your strength, come close during day light, stay closer in the dark.
This love is real, when a mother loves her children, when a father loves them well
Open your eyes, it’s day one, it’s the start
Open your arms, welcome home with mom and dad
Oh, baby oh
Oh, baby oh

Ending

Blending, blending again
Dreaming, dreaming you never left
Timing seems to be the best
Sun is going to the west like then
Light shines softly through your hair
Music in the air sounds with your breath
Smiling, crying with faithfulness
Promise I will never go away
Mornings without sunshine, nights without a moon above
Let me know when you’re coming back home
Oceans with no water, fire without a flame to burn
I know you’re not going to return
Ending, ending of this tale
Fading, fading away
Live yor life with no regrets
You will know when you should go away
Smile and cry and love the rest
Share your feelings with the ones that stay
I’m dreaming that you never left
But I know that you never came that day
Mornings without sunshine, nights without a moon above
Let me know when you’re coming back home
Oceans with no water, fire without a flame to burn
I know you’re not going to return
