Life 04:49
Do you sleep at night ? I sleep pretty well. And the nightmares ? Well, they come and go... Do you sleep at night ? I sleep pretty well. And the nightmares ? Well, they come and go, It's a melody only you can tell. But do you like it here ? Is it ours to share, This bed and dreams ? I don't know yet Are we the ugly ones or a handsome pair ? What about the love ? Have you found it yet ? I'm still looking for Just the things I like, Like sour patches or turtlenecks It will come my dear, Oh don't be afraid. I'm not afraid, I only close my eyes so I can feel the tears Running down my neck I know I like the wind Coming through the windows. Even though everytime I sneeze Even closed ? And the things of life ? I've got so much questions about that. I wonder about equality, and the right to be wrong, And the fallen leaves, and the planes, and dying. And silly love songs... But then why do you ask about all those things if you don't have any answers ? It's too much and it all goes too fast to the point where sometimes my vision blurrs just like when you're in a car and you try to count the trees on the side of the road ? Could it be a dream (?) Wait, was that you or me ? Sometimes I have a really hard time figuring out where you start and where I end. When you're not here, you're everywhere. Do you know how it feels to be alone ? And to have so much on your mind that when you close your eyes your eyelids seem to be on fire ? And even the tears can't put it down. Not that they stay here anyway. Do you ever get lonely ? Like the sun on a summer's day. Like the last feel of summer breeze you'll ever feel. What does it take to feel at ease ? Is it a goodnight in bed ? Or a kiss on the cheek ? Or a good song stuck in your head ? Are you there ? Well

I'm growing tired of dark old days I'll never need it anymore Give me one more I'll find a way I wanna lose my mind I wanna lose my money I wanna lose myself I like the taste and I like the swell And I love the feeling Oh it's killing me so well An overrated flame My distant body And a fragile brain Stay awake We never get tired we never get bored Of our lungs Going on Louder Stay awake We never get tired we never get bored And our brains Keep flying Higher Stay awake We never get tired we never get bored And our brains Keep flying Higher Guess I wondered where I wanted to be I'd have done almost anything just to feel free You take your chance and before anyone knows You find your pride emprisoned in your shadows Just a few more hours beneath those lights I need a crowded place I have my own demons to fight Stay awake Help me I felt too much I fell too hard I wanna be happy Stay away I felt too much I fell too hard I wanna be happy Stay away We never get tired we never get bored Of our lungs Going on Louder Stay away We never get tired we never get bored And our brains Keep flying Higher I can't breathe I can't bear the pain I can't breathe It's all inside my head I can't breathe I can't bear the pain I can't breathe It's all inside my head Stay away We never get tired we never get bored Of our lungs Going on Louder Stay away Do you ever get tired do you ever get bored Of our brains That keep burning Brighter Stay away Do you ever get tired do you ever get bored Of our brains That keep burning Brighter Stay awake Don't you ever get tired don't you ever get bored But our brains Keep burning

Gold, blushing sky, sun setting down Stars fading in, away from town Let's lie down the hills among the clovers As summer puts on its evening gown Words, left untold, waves unfolding A splash of night, friends and kins Do you ever get the feeling that The sun is crawling right under your skin ? We've got it all made out Heavy weather in the twilight Rascals on the holdout Better sorry than alright Shouts, crazy dreams, resounding on the sea Open your eyes, run with me. The moon is casting just enough light to Wander by the shadow of the trees Dawn, eye to eye, and tears to tears Our nights for days, and cheers for fears, It takes some time for eyes that meet the dark To recognize the shapes that might appear We've got it all made out Heavy weather in the twilight Rascals on the holdout Better sorry than alright We've got it all made out Heavy weather in the twilight Rascals on the holdout Better sorry than alright We leave the city lights for some distant ones. To our side, the blurring vision of a beat-up van ; As the buildings go by to catch a fleeing reflection Of lost ones, love, loud laughs and hopeless action. Somewhere outside in the open south, Dog days season and overt laughs. Where the landlord is gone and the vines are divine, Late night drive and cherry wine. A Landscape in setting, To our side, always evolving. The moving hills and tranquil sea both bathe our minds with a simple revelation : That they’ll never stop us from choosing life over reason. We’re going back to the good life. They say that we’re not old enough to know what is wrong but feels right That we should put mind over bodies, and that nobody’s free. But where patience is a vertue, freedom is a fight. It’s like a long way home, the reckless youth syndrome, To think that the night heals all wounds like a discreet magician. And to lose our voices, and our lungs. Like an ode to the things we like the most, Our sold out sunset on a ride to the coast.

El Monstruo 03:55
Some quirky pretty eyes, One eyebrow falls , one rise, Here comes the silent question. No need to be upset, Just let me do the rest Of the talking I know that it's hard Yet you are the monster and I am the bard. You've got a curious look, Are you a jester or a crook ? Swinging from scream to laugh, Like a broken phonograph. Searching, Stretching (I won't let) The smallest gap from freak to clown (You down) That's a rather peculiar attitude (I can't) Is it a smile or a frown on your face ? (We're bound) So many questions in so many shapes It's alright You're on my bed, on my mind, on my shelves, In my head all the time. It's a nightmare. Yes, it's true we get along And our love has grown quite strong And, although you look quite scary, You're always there beside me But you're quite an introvert, shady plotter or silent flirt ? So many words left to speak What kind of secret do you keep ? Ambiguous from head to toe, Easy come and easy go. Searching, Stretching (I won't let) The smallest gap from freak to clown (You down) That's a rather peculiar attitude (I can't) Is it a smile or a frown on your face ? (We're bound) That I see. It's alright, you're a friend.
