Farewell

Last night I thought saw you crawling beneath my bed, dusty head
You were somehow glowing like you were some kind of dying firefly
Then you came out
Tears on your cheeks
You gave me the creeps (and said)
I'll see you around
You made your way through the branches I keep secretly, in my room
I lost your trails as you managed to escape in the dark, for good
I hit my head
Fell on my knees
And looking at East
I bid farewell

Heartlocked Blues

My back tied to a tree, again
A crown of leaves on my head
Horray! The night came to an end
Dance! It's time to dance, dance!
Oh what a waste, your arrows stuck into my chest
I hope you have some more left to shoot
You hear? The piper has come back!
I wish i could join the fest
Go if you like, but don't stay away for too long
I'll wait down here with my eyes stuck to the sky
To see if the sun can shine through
Horray! I can feel my feet again
The rabbits dance, the snakes as well
They're forming a line towards the citadel

Belém

Slipping through time, I'll stay out tonight before i become a stranger again
Again to my own eyes
Taking the train from Cais Do Sodré, head down to the trails
I'm thinking too fast, I'm thinking too much again
Is this who i am? Is this who i was? I want to be okay
I want to be alone, reach out for the unknown and my
Skin has fell down, skin inside out, strangers around
They're going far, far from here for sure
Head to Belém, the sound of the waves, the horn of the ships
I fail again trying to explain myself how beautiful it is
It's cold on the shore well I should have known, the night is close
My eyes are closed, my mind is on the loose and ready to flow away for good
Can't stop the rush of thoughts in my head
Everything's right, everybody dies and we all do our best
The sunset arrives, I fall down to cry, I scream out my eyes
"Everybody tries, I wish I could do my best"
For how long have I been here?
Is everything wrong turning back right again?

Ghost Town
03:26
|

|
Been kicking stones all way to town
Red sky above fading slowly into night
I got my pocket filled with faith and that's enough
But i look more like a ghost in a ghost town
But i don't know where i'm going to
But i don't know where i'm going to
Many times i found myself hanging just like this
hands behind my back, upside down here i am
I like the feeling of the bloodrush to my head, i smile loud
I like the feeling of the bloodrush to my head, i smile loud
I like the feeling of the bloodrush to my head, i smile loud
I like the feeling of the bloodrush to my head, i smile
But i don't know where i'm going to
And i don't know where i'm going to
And only god knows what i've been through
And i don't know where i'm going to
It's ghost town, ghost town
Gho-gho-ghost town

An Empty Ballroom

Do you wanna dance
In this empty ballroom with me?
We could share a drink
And try hard to find the words to speak
You change your mind a lot
I cannot even understand mine
I like the way you talk
The ice in my glass has never been so cold
Do you wanna slip
Slowly into madness with me?
I'll be your wine
We will be each other deepest fears and heavenly desires
Let me take another spin
Twirling maze of rotten feels
Loose yourself and i'll do the same
Close your eyes and keep the pace
Do you feel it too?
Take a look around
There's no way out to be found
Not that i care
But how the hell did we got here?

Face Full of Smiles
04:02

Remember when i told you
You were my winning lottery ticket?
It was just two hours ago
Well i guess i forgot how time works
I like when it rains in August
It's like when you storm out the room and
Come back with a face full of smiles
All over your skin all over your head
One of my friends tried to
Kill himself last week in a parking lot
That hit me right in the soul
I cannot sleep i think i'll fall
I saw my future self
He haunted me disguised as a ghost
He had a face full of smiles
He poured me a drink and

Take your time and I'll take mine
I will cover my face
I'll count the stars in the dark
Of the back of my eyes
I will patiently wait
Drawing shapes on the haze
Twenty-four question marks
Something I can relate
My hand on your chest
"See how much is going fast
The beat of my heart?" You said
Now I'm cracking my head
To let out the smoke
I hold nothing in my hands

The Oneironaut

Today i woke up from a dream, but it's like
I've been awake all along
My hand was writing down some words, messy and that
I could barely understand
But by the way they slowly fell
And collapsed in pain
Well i could tell for sure
That was a song i mean for you
It was a about:
A fire spreading from the mountains
Towards the valleys
To kill us all
There were falling pieces of sky
All over the place
There were no many lines left, just some
Chaotic nosense
I shook my head and threw the pen
Headed down for a walk
With surprise i looked above to the horizon on fire
The air filled with smoke
And the clouds started to crumble
(to crumble, oh my god)
