IF YOU’RE STRONG
Soaked up in his ‘ole wrong beliefs and naively self assured
about how way things go in people’s perfect lives
He spent the biggest part of his whole life just waiting for
his own to change and fix the faults that came on by
He got to face himself with this astonishing reality
and drown his mind in worlds of dreadful fears
It sounded weird and tough to him but even not accepting it
he had to do with this reality:
Nobody cares for you if you are strong,
nobody gives a damn about your suffering for too long
To justify a weak man’ s betise seems all we should long for
Nobody cares for you if you are strong
Nobody cares for you if you are strong
He finally came up with the thought there was no use
for him - to stand up to the things he knew for sure as right
He gave up all the fights and all the useless confrontations
that for way too long had floated him thru fields of self vexation and
He found himself a-drowning in a silent, dark dimension
where the needs of human consciousness cross paths with fighting tensions
And tried to ease himself behaving just the way he should
but this everlasting battle slowly overcame his mood
Nobody cares for you if you are strong,
nobody gives a damn about your suffering for too long
To justify a weak man’ s betise seems all we should long for
Nobody cares for you if you are strong
Nobody cares for you if you are strong

THINK OF PARADISE
By now you better stop and wonder
‘ bout where things are getting to
It looks like you have done the best that you can
And still you think there’s so much left for you to do
How come you don’t realize that when you think of paradise
you think about a place totally cleaned from from from your lies
Still you flee from wise advice ain’t it time to empathize?
ya know It is just yourself the one you got to despise
BRIDGE
Unwanted guest you came to lay here,
even you don’t know where from
you found yourself slung right where you just don’t belong
You found your way to go in screwing up and do wrong
How come you don’t realize that when you think of paradise
you think about a place totally cleaned from from from your lies
Still you flee from wise advice ain’t it time to empathize?
ya know It is just yourself the one you got to despise
BRIDGE
I bet you should spring up a conscience
allowing us to be both safe
your useless idols are ‘a leading us nowhere
by now you should have learnt they’re just a burden to bear
How come you don’t realize that when you think of paradise
you think about a place totally cleaned from from from your lies
Still you flee from wise advice ain’t it time to empathize?
ya know It is just yourself the one you got to despise

CREDIT TO YOUR RIND

credit to your rind
you’ve been listening for so long and carefully
repeated lies can turn to truth
you’ve been driven to give colors a wrong name
now it turns out that you can’t see
you completely lost the right course of our nature
you can’t see what hearts can do
you won’t listen to the voices in your souls
for your corrupted reality
time will leave some time behind
time will pass but you won’t find
just how shallow, empty and blind
you’ve been giving too much credit to your rind
in a rough sea of deceitful reality
you’ve been left alone to drown
slow and steady your collapsing then begun
when they took away your town
you were asking for directions in your mind
but you could not speak a word
you let words of hate speak loudly for your will
now your way looks way too blurred
time will leave some time behind
time will pass but you won’t find
just how shallow, empty and blind
you’ve been giving too much credit to your rind
now I guess it could be human to conceive
possibilities to find
how this struggling, pain and grieve to come combine
and let the light of truth be free to come and shine
now the most important half of you is gone
emptiness and fears arrive
you could take the chance to put back all in line
but such battle can’t be won

BRINGING LIGHT AND SORROW
You bring in all the sorrow but then you take it away
you take it away
Feels like there’s no tomorrow if you’re out of my day
out of my way…
oh, the light glares dazzling out your soul
your flowers’ tones are filling my heart’s bowl
You bring in all the sorrow but then you take it away
you take it away
Feels like there’s no tomorrow if you’re taken away,
out of my day…
And when the dark came in I had to face alone that sorrow
dredging for our inner self ‘s been all I could quest for
fighting my way thru pains and fears of no tomorrows
I have realised that it’s your strength I gotta borrow
‘cause
You bring in all the sorrow but then you take it away
you take it away
Feels like there’s no tomorrow if you’re out of my day
out of my way…
You bring in all the sorrow it cuts deep as a knife
deep as a knife
Feels like there’s no tomorrow if we live in this strife
live in this strife
You bring in all that sorrow
that you could turn into life
turn into life

I FORGOT HOW TO SIP

My Evil twin,
You must think you’re here alone
as you Sit ahead of me
on this damn slow stinky moving bus
and you’re talking on the phone
why is your finger struggling so
as we’re travelling I suppose
you’ been trying to figure out
if your elbow can fit in inside your nose
My Evil twin, where have you been
I’ve been needing you, you know
I been trying to act as you were there
but you know me , I am too fair
So please try to get on touch before
things get way too rough
I’m fed up of how things go today
Evil twin won’t you come show me the way
stopped while Driving in your I packed up car
with your friends and family
Summertime is finally here, your job
will soon grant you an amnesty
ain’t that your dog trying to reach your run
as you leave him down behind?
You have even learnt to disregard
all that pain and sorrow painted in his eyes
RIT.
you have learnt to paint your lover’s face
with such lovely shades of blue
and those looks in hers and your dog’s face
you don’t care if they are for you
you just keep on working hard in the name of some fake god
because that’s what everyone is on
and your head is finally tangled in this fraud

CHANGES
Today everything tend to change so damn fast
And nothing remains as it was in the past
Not even those feelings that seemed to be true
Can go thru’ these changes, they need to be an new
While everything moves on I’m left here alone
To witness the changes of feelings long gone
And even these changes are bound to move on
And leave empty spaces for changes to come
We still need to learn the real sense of our lives
But it’s just like our destiny’s got too much to hide
So let us try to feel it before it is gone
Enjoying the power of feelings to come
We might as well be someone else’s mistake
Or even parts of a strange plan somebody has made
And even these changes are bound to move on
And leave empty spaces for changes to come
So while everything looks mistakenly still
I’ll try to gain what I need to pay all my bills
I’ll try not to leave anything left unsaid
Especially the love in my heart and my head
To such an experience you’re never prepared
I guess it is normal if I am feeling so scared,
Yes I guess it’s normal to feel so damn scared

THE WIND BLEW

THE WIND BLEW
The wind was blowing thru’ the pines
The day she had to go
He whispered sadly down the slope
And left him with no hope
The leaves were dancing on the hill
All quiet was around
His heart skipped more than just one beat
He knew that it was it
So many years had passed since when
He saw her dressed in white
And now that white is on her face
The darkness steals her light
He looks around and tries to find
A way not to believe
That to the one he had lived for
Had nothing more to give
The wind was blowing thru’ the pines
He took his hat and gloves
And with him blowing in his mind
He started walking blind
He walked the day right thru’ the night
And then he walked some more
Since when that wind blew thru’ his door
He could not suffer more

REASONS INTO RHYMES
04:24

reasons into rhimes
looking back at all the memories that keep flowing in my mind
life looks like those old time movies where the stories don’t combine
I have been using so much passion been a wasting lot of time
I have loved without conditions not committing any crime
I’ve been happy , been contented spent time writing happy songs
till the day when without warnings I found out that I was wrong
so by now , who knows for how long I’ll be taking my own time
trying to look for the right reasons to give meanings to my rhimes
reasons
fitting into rhimes
changing my perceptions
so that to leave behind
purposely unspoken feelings
and random states of mind
that strongly spread like oily stains
and foul up my whole life
I have hunted shallow values just like everybody do
been disguising every aspect of what’s left of my own dues
I’ve been looking for wrong answers through the bottom of a glass
I believed in everything you said I let way too much time pass
time will slowly keep on dragging his own weird machineries
and will finally lead my poor words through more compliant sceneries
it might take more than I have but it’s pretty plain to see
Beauty is right there where it is: where I first put my beliefs

BE ALIVE
Wicked, sinful ways we lead astray
strong of our misfortunes, unable to behave
the way we’re often told to by loving ones and friends
we live our life as if there’s nought at all to brave
life’s not trying to put us down but we ignore how
life is always trying so hard to make us not drown
so let us learn to give an ear to that message loud and clear
to the meanings of the signslet us try not to be blind
and be alive
Moments, that file up day by day
relentlessly beaconing us to witness anyways
the grim and stubborn movements revolving our own state
things go the way they been meant for especially if you don’t care
life’s not trying to put us down but we ignore how
life is always trying so hard to make us not drown
so let us learn to give an ear to that message loud and clear
to the meanings of the signs let us try not to be blind
and be alive
listen, to what your own self says
the words of your beloved ones are there to pay their care
your absence now , my brother is more than we can bear
get back on track my old pard you’re easy to repair…
