Footprints 03:37
FOOTPRINTS I would start a fight for you Knowing I would lose Begging for your mouth to heal my every bruise I would learn to swim for you Wouldn’t fear to dive Drinking salt to stay afloat, to quench my thirst Just to comfort your eyes It could comfort my fears Hole my chest Reach my heart and grab it To slow down its fast beating Give my arms a shape to embrace For them not to shake, not anymore I would lose my weight for you Run until it aches I would change my body just to win your waist I would sculpt a reef for you Using my bare hands Like a sacred icon blessed by foam and sand All the poems from your mouth Sit and rest in my ears Hole my chest Reach my heart and grab it To slow down its fast beating Give my arms a shape to embrace For them not to shake, not anymore And I’m still me In the mirror In the puddles In your eyes Leaving footprints On the sand of your voice Still me walking, back and forward Still me waiting endlessly For your smiling rain to come down

WORLD OUTSIDE Lock the world outside Cut it off this picture Smoke it off this night Sing it off this song Let’s stay peaceful here Let’s sit on the rocks In front of a black sea We lock the world outside Leave it all outside Leave hell and heaven outside If you don’t want to Believe in sins and redemption You don’t have to The past don’t have to be the place You belong to Fill up your lungs and your glass And own this moment So I say Lock the world outside Cut it off this picture Leave it all outside this moment Believe in what you feel right now You can believe in every god, in every truth, in every creed or science Just let it out for now Believe in your voice raised up high tonight Leave hell and heaven outside If you don’t want to Believe in sins and redemption You don’t have to The past don’t have to be the place You belong to Fill up your glass and your lungs And own this moment Sing this song and lock the world out Just raise your voice and shut the world up Just make some noise and cut the world off Cut it off, cut it off, cut it off, cut it off

Acrobats 04:20
ACROBATS Acrobats on our own wire we proceed Blinded by our own balance we can't see The distance between our different heights We can stare at just one point in front of us Just a net to decide if it's risk or jump Will someone catch us? Here you pray for a sign to shake your path Here I hope we fall down on the same net Dissolving the risk we fear in an elastic silent scream To show that we're not meant to walk on air Acrobats on our own wire we can't live Hiding from the courage to look below We need to slide and just dive Here you pray for a sign to shake your path Here I hope we fall down on the same net Dissolving the risk we fear in an elastic silent scream We're all part of the same mad circus Clowns with painted tears on our faces Wizards working on our illusions Tamers fighting to reign upon our own nature Acrobats on our own wire we proceed We all hope for a sign to shake our path Losing balance yes, we fall, we fall down, we fall free We're just not meant to walk on air

LIGHT AND WATER Is it raining sunrays Or are raindrops shining? My mood changes as the Dublin’s sky Constantly turning from grey to white Underneath a deep blue either dark or light And I’m still beautiful Even when I’m paranoid Cause I’m made of light and water inside And I’m still standing Even when my head turns Cause it’s falling light and water outside Looking at the railways Waiting for a free ride My mind’s changing like this Irish fall Constantly walking on fields of wind Looking for the shade of green that matches mine And I’m still beautiful Even when I’m paranoid Cause I’m made of light and water inside And I’m still standing Even when my legs hurt Cause it’s full of light and water outside I’m one with the weather inside I’m one with the weather outside I’m one with the world for good I’m one with the world for bad And I’m still beautiful Even when I’m paranoid Cause I’m made of light and water inside And I’m still standing Even when my chest hurts Cause it’s full of light and water outside Is it raining sunrays Or are raindrops shining? Cause it’s full of light and water everywhere

Green Light 03:47
GREEN LIGHT Stroboscopic lights Flashing in my eyes They should blind me they should stone me But it’s all so clear Music’s like the wind Bodies are like flames Burning bright and trembling to the blowing of the beat Shake your hands and melt the ice Take a chance and throw your dice Now you’re dancing in the green light Riding in the green light Just release your brakes Go on accelerate No matter if you’re gonna crash This night will never end Following the stream Hypnotized by chaos There’s no need to stay afloat upon these waves of sound We’re a beam of noise Screaming names away Turn the volume up until you’re deaf to memories A billion bulbs in my head lighted up in a sec And now everything is brighter than the skyline of LA And I ride and I ride but I’m no passenger Tonight I drive and this is for sure Come on board, straight is the road, my body roams, Party goes on, as I jam and I vogue Sweating out notes without any U turn I don’t feel the burden of this head that I hold And I don’t wanna wander if I ever gonna stop Cause I just wanna wander through the silence of the clock Blood is boiling, the blue evaporates We don’t even remember our own names What’s hidden’s hitting my skin is heated The pulse of my heart just keeps on screaming No red I’m bleeding No yellow to keep me I’m dancing in the green light and I don’t stop tripping Losing our mind in the green light Breaking spirits free in the green light Sweating music in the green light Still we’re dancing in the green light Tumbling in the green Stumbling on the sin Shaking out the pressure of this life Don’t’ you ever wonder Don’t you ever wonder if this ride is gonna end Tumbling in the green Stumbling on the sin Shaking out the pressure of this life Don’t’ you ever stop Don’t you ever stop riding in the green light

BUTTERFLIES YOU DESERVE When I’m gone who knows what I will miss? Will I forgive? When I’ll come how I’ll dream? Will I keep on sleeping? Well I just know today I am me, I’m good, I’m ok I deserve the butterflies again in my life All the questions will be solved in a lifetime or a day I will pick them up along this freeway with no end I wasted so much time At a crossroads waiting to turn the car on I’ve wasted so much time Now I’m running to cross the line of horizon Remains inside me just the wild breath of our feeling I’m driving straight cause yesterday will never come again I’m getting out of this place You’re crying without asking Well I just know that today I’m whole, I’m ok, I’m me I see angels surfing through skyscrapers on a brand new skyline All the butterflies I deserve I will find them someday Flying along my path on those never ending freeways I wasted so much time At a crossroad waiting to turn the car on I’ve wasted so much time Now I’m running to cross the line of horizon Remains inside me just the wild breath of our feeling I’m driving straight cause yesterday will never come again I was frightened I was foolish But tomorrow waits for me to be better I won’t waste it, not this time The horizon line is ready to be crossed now Remains inside me just the wild breath of our feeling I’m driving straight cause yesterday will never come again You’ll hear my voice inside the walls of our own heaven I’ll pray for time to fill you soon with the butterflies you deserve

PLAY OUR DAYS People sleeping in the air Above a city made of black and white pictures Here we are The lights are turning down We’re trying to fill some empty sounds To fill an empty prayer She looks at me through a portrait I stare at her I don’t know where she comes from While somebody’s taking pictures of this moment While we’re trying to keep everything Trying to remember it When times will be hard Where will we be When days will get dark Who knows if we’ll meet Where we’re gonna end And where we’re gonna play If we still will be the same If we’ll have the same way to play our days Here we are People calling us And we’re trying to separate the cold outside our world We’re trying to get warm On a September night When we still feel we’re able to give something to this world When times will be hard Where will we be And when days will get so dark Who knows, who knows if we'll meet Will we still be the same Will we have the same aim Will we still be able to play our days Just like tonight This night when we’re here The lights are burning they’re turning to red and white And colours mixing in our eyes And notes are coming from our hands The words are falling from the sky And here we are, here we are playing our days
