cold suns 05:13
so is it true what maytrs say that in death we lose our faith i've grown bored of all these lives yet the hope of you survives so it's now or never here the cry that souls confide in time this just may be my last try before the beat of you subsides i've sold silk tears and better stone i've made milk from children's tears imprisoned one thousand years but i'd be telling lies if i said that i didn't need you you made me kill moons to make them new tell lies to make them true a mirror made of countless rooms couldn't say what i'd give up by your side if you just knew so now it's twice the angels say that my earth has gone astray should i just kiss my worlds goodbye or give a sign that i might try this time i think i'll make my worlds collide i'll bring the oceans to the tide somehow and if tomorrow i feel sane i'll make the day we met again cold suns and still seas they couldn't amuse me not the way you used me but i'd be telling lies if i said that i didn't need you you made me kill moons to make them new tell lies to make them true a mirror made of countless rooms couldn't say what i'd give up by your side if you just knew i'm losing me i'm losing you i don't believe i'm going to make it through this wronged, i...i was wronged while you got the best of me wronged, i...i was wrong while... yeah, you get mad but you know its true you're a maneater and you know i'm right yeah you got your rise but you're gonna fall one day and then may god be kind to you

the gift of the morning is lost with you gone the earth loses rhythm when you've lost your song we're given a purpose, it's rare but we've learned this not kings or queens or these government machines can do more for our dreams then what you do by being here and brave the grace and the warmth of your presence is felt by the soul and the hole left when we lose ourselves you're blessed you know this you're driven into service the lost and afraid and those not quite as brave as the ones that you save when you show them what faith is you are beautiful still a child inside like a sky, open wide big enough to make to make this world your own a universe your home and i do, i know this fears become our friends our voice made worn and thin though we're never alone space feels like emptiness but you made yourself true to what you felt and i do i love you

la ilusión 03:30
los días se esfuman en la rutina la ilusión de la vida siento que se va detesto la magia de las mentiras palabras ficticias y desigualdad no se quien soy si vengo o voy a encontrar verdad en un mundo infiel colmado de remedios que procuran reponer la idea de ser feliz la radio repite la misma rima los espías no encuentran señal la gente detesta la poesía ya nada los hace llorar la luz del sol no alumbra mas esta oscuridad que nos hacen cruel insípido recuerdo que te roba la niñez love i know that i've wronged you today i can tell it's been hard to believe that i've faith in you still but i do oh, i've come far but i know i stray it gets hard to remember these poisons are things that i choose but i do

mil voces 05:12
senti en tu mirar tienes tanto dolor, historietas que contar porque no... el tiempo hablara, contara aquellos suenos, suenos de un universo alcanzar todo anda mal, cuando el sol de ilusion fallo, tu humidle intencion se esfumo galaxias sin paz se ven, un alma a la deriva perdida en un abismo sin fe no defes perder tu bien, mil voces te derriban les intriga lo que tu puedes ser pas sin igual date una oportunidad de sentir lo que es vivir sin morir comprenderas que el altar celestial no busca verte sufrir al dormir no intentes dejar, lo que has de alcanzar tu paz, busca el lugar sin desmallar galaxias sin paz se ven, un alma a la deriva perdida en un abismo sin fe no defes perder tu bien, mil voces te derriban les intriga lo que tu puedes ser mira a tu lado las cara volando que dejastes con llanto por no intentar cierra tus ojos y escucha en lo alto que el cielo es tuyo para dibujar respira un poco mas, tienes tantas opciones, un million de colores con que triunfar

siénteme 05:56
i do i believe, i've seen this scene before was it in a dream or was it in a life before the life we knew before this do you mind if i take a time to remember you i couldn't conceive a better place to place you in a better mood to face you in then the current mood the music moves my soul to be open wide to your vibe tonight it's not a time to go pretending i'll be real with you if you let me with your brown skin and your brown eyes you got me reeling from feelings i can't hide quiero verte, moverte de una manera que todo los sienten i know you, yeah i've owned you before you give in your feelings to reason let me show you, what i told i.... would do to you yo se que tu me siente' sienteme como te siento yo, sienteme sienteme you got me now i got you and now what? you better make it worth this song i wrote for you and your soul make it known that i am out of my mind, lost inside your whole way of being let me see inside your mind and your shirt take off that skirt don't make me work too hard cuz i'm tired....

Jugando a no perder Y aun no se ni porque Sin llenarme de placer Me perdi en tu desden Ya no quiero vivir este invierno gris Mi ardor nunca logro tu comprension No hace falta amanecer Cuando dices tal vez Pensara una vez mas En saciar esta sed, aridez Mi mar se seca sin ti Lazada vil Y aunque ya no lluevas mas No faltaras Quisiera no caer, y amprender de una vez Desgararme la ansiedad que te busca sin ver Clima cruel Ya no fingas sufrir, este invierno gris Pues ya empezado a sentir, los vientos de Abril

soy 01:55
soy giovanni el poeta sin pais el dedicado el vago giovanni es un creativo un dios con demasiado sentido el es, yo soy un todo vacio y lleno de complejos a todos les hecho de menos, pero mas a mi y tan asi como soy, tambien soy bueno hecho a la mano del uno un diseno perfecto enamorado de sus defectos tambien soy la gozadera del baile soy el sonido distinto que te atrae soy el dueno de nada el hijo de madre dura que a veces me bana con su dulzura soy las lagrimas caidas por un amor perdido soy quien soy tambien como tu eres de nuestra manera la vida sucede

do i make you afraid? do you hate my way? do you think that i am flawed because i talk this way? i won't think the same. i won't wear my shame i am strong because my wrongs show me my better way i am the darkest water i'm harder, i'm farther fear and love don't break me they make me, now take me i am free i couldn't see me but now i'm free i am my only sun i am my love, my song the god that gave me used the storm and calm to make my one i'm not the only one we're children of the sun wake up and find yourself and live your life for no one else you are your darkest water you're mother and father no fear or love will break you it makes you don't fake you i am free i couldn't see me but now i'm free

cielo azul de norte al sul machado de un recuerdo de tu hechizo tu silencio inquietud the juventud ahogado en los deseos de tenerte a fuego lento en la oscuridad sin restricciones no siento tu palpitad no siento porque te vaz

urgente 05:23
vuelve a mentir hasme sentir pense qu jamas iba morir nuestro destino, suspiro, tierno invicto que ya hechastes al olvido besos de miel lleno de hiel ya se que tienes otro querer distincto a el mio el mismo espejismo de destinos confundidos no es urgente ya tenerte olivdarte es lo mas fuerte no va vivir no va existir el tiempo que nos hacia reir y un adivino me dijo que hay motivos, que buscara otros caminos dame a beber tu dulce piel los versos se embriagan con tu ser vuelve a tu sitio complejo laberinto donde moran tus latidos no es urgente ya tenerte olivdarte es lo mas fuerte no es urgente yo tenerte olvidarte es los mas fuerte es mas fuerto yo tenerte olvidarte no es urgente alejate ya vete pa' ya no es urgente vida mia tu falso querer what do you want me to say? that i want you to stay? that i like it this way? i'm grown and so i should've known from the beginning that though my body yearns for you my soul will burn from you but the lesson was learned from you and so now it's time to move on from you no es urgente ya tenerte olivdarte es lo mas fuerte

i want it 06:16
you've got the kind of skin i'd sin for the kind of sex i'd give for should we make like friends and make ammends for all the quiet lies we'll pretend to believe one another on the floor piece by piece now sweat like grease now i'll get it right this time i give now i want my own i'll use these hands to make you writhe oh my, oh... my what have we here give me one good reason make me stay make me right but you're wrong you've got no good reason nothing's saved in these lies i'm confused by this i'm obsessed with this moment of bliss of peace achieved within the moments inside you but just when it seems that i've arrived the joy has died and i'm back lacking the eternal one the eternal oneness it seems that we miss the point of this, our return in the act reduced to skin and bone when it's our soul alone that matters do i love you? do i need you? there is no peace in this thing i've driven so deep it hurts in the name of this search but i want this how i want this... and our chest have met for the hundreth time not a part of you dry by the time i'm through and you'll keep it like a prize...

i choose 04:16
deep and afraid i thought i was brave sometimes sometimes i'm right, but mostly i guess it's true as true is when its true to me and this is a truth i know is wrong i am naive i am a child inside i am a dream i am a tired old man we've got these lives we live them as a lie but i don't believe you i choose what i see broken by you broke your fall today today when you fell you made your peace in hell i'd rather be me i'd rather break on hard i don't understand but i've got faith because i lie because i die each time i reach my prime i fail when i get it right we've got these lives we live them as a lie but i don't believe me i choose what i see but i take i give and i wound the denial that made me the reason i lose i choose i choose
