Anxiety comes to me
Takes my hand
Won't let me leave.
Anxiety calls for me
Now I can't breathe...
They come for me and my family
They take us "back"
But we can't go home.
Your empathy is all we need
But I know you have none.
We're not wanted
But we don't care.
We're not leaving
We still call this home.
For centuries you take from me
We give and give and don't ask "why?"
if memory serves you well...
But I know you've got none

Ungrateful
03:59
|
|||
Screaming at the top of my lungs
I can't find the words you want
But you're so clever when everybody's gone
Clawing my way from the bottom
Every night I bite my tongue
Is it ever done?
'Cause never's long enough
Laying awake in the dark
Through the windows I hear them bark
"Is it worth it because living's hard enough?"
And I'm yelling again at the sky
Every morning I hear it sigh
"Is it worth it 'cause heaven's not enough?"

Somnambulo

My whole life has come and gone
All my blood and fears
My whole life has come and gone
All my failures clear
The sun is in your eyes again
The shadows growing in the wind
The things you said
You can't take back again
The sun is in your eyes again
The fog is rolling in your head
The things you did
You can't take back again
Your friends have gone and left you
All alone
When you needed them to mend your bones
You're all alone
All my friends
I push them away
I don't need them
I'm all alone
It's all my fault
All my friends
I push them away
I don't need them
I'm all alone
It's what I like
All your love
You give it away
You don't need it
It's your fault
It's what you like

I wake up
And I know it's not enough
I reach out
But you know this isn’t love
Do you want me?
Am I good enough for you?
Or is it better
If we both just say “adieu”
Looking up
Pictures of us
And I know it wasn’t lust
Do you love him?
Does he know you like I do?
Or is he better,
Does he listen more to you?
Oh my God
Counting on apologies and lies.
All my life
I'm counting every day and every night.
And when I die
Will I be bored?
Will I still feel so alone?
I leave my money and my memories with you
and I'm sorry
I never knew what to do.
Oh my god
counting on apologies and lies.
All my life
Counting every day and every night.

White God
04:46
|

You see the face of God in everything he says.
You feel the weight above
It's spinning in your head
You want him and you don't understand the lies.
You hear the voice of reason but it's not enough.
With your white God and your red Devil all around
Your old prayers
They never make a sound.
But you love it and you don't understand it all
You hear the voice of reason but it's not enough.
It gets louder.
With your weak lungs, your old heart ain't strong enough
And your white lies
They just cant carry love.
And you love him but you don't want him anymore
You hear the voice of reason and its louder now.
It gets harder.
With your white God
And your red Devil
And your white lies
And your cold Heaven.
Your White God
And your red Devil
And your white lies
For your cold Heaven.
Your White God
And your red Devil
And your white lies
For your dead Heaven.

Under the Sun
I was walking
On the street
By the cars
I was walking with you.
Where the sky
Meets the Earth
On my shoulders
I'll be running away
Further from you.
Shout it out loud again.
Under the moon
I was laying
On the sand
By the waves
I'll be laying with you.
Where my lips
And my lungs
Meet the ocean
I'll be holding my breath
Waiting for you.
Where the moon and the stars
Go through the motions.
Where the sun meets the clouds
By the sea.
Where my arms reach for you
Across the ocean.
Where my arms reach for you...
Shout it out loud.

Waves
02:57
|
|||
Riding on a wave of dependency
Looking through the eyes of an animal
I'm climbing on the hills of a massacre
I'm swallowing the world with my silver tongue
And I feel so numb.
Drowning in a wave of a murderer
Falling through the cracks of indifference
Running from the edge of a silver knife
It's like screaming at a wall with an iron lung
And I'm seeing red.
Run away.
You fall down but you're so close to me.
You fall down and you're so far.

Avarice
03:37
|
|||
I can't afford the dirt you spit on.
I can't afford the sky above.
I walk your streets and
I know your secrets
Your body's rotting in the sun.
But I know
Where you sleep.
You spread your house like a disease.
You're building over history.
Inconsequential
So providential
The God of avarice concedes.
But I know
Where you sleep.
Eat the rich.
Spit their bones.
Dig their graves.
Burn their homes.

Criminal

Que porque respiro
Soy Criminal
Que porque estoy vivo
Soy Criminal
Cuando me levanto
Ya soy criminal
Porque no soy un Santo
Ya soy criminal
Donde yo eh nacido
Me hace un criminal
Porque cruce tu rio
Yo soy criminal
Naciste tu de ratas
Y yo soy criminal?
Y cuando tu me matas
Yo soy criminal.
Dime que te pertenece.
Que es lo que tu corazon te promete?
Y ahora tu me enjaulas
Como un animal
Y todavia me hablas
Como un animal
Me hablas de mi raza
Como un animal
Viviendo aqui
Me cazas como un animal.
Y asi han pasado por cientos de años.
Dime que te pertenece.
La luna el mar y el viento?
El sudor de mi frente?
O el vapor de mi aliento?

RAICES (dirt)
02:37
|
|||
Born on the wrong dirt
Under the same sun.
Saying the wrong words
Running from YOUR guns.
With your foot on my neck
You demand respect
But I know you can't hear us breathe.
I know you can't hear us scream.
You don't care
'Cause we say the wrong prayers.
It's our choice
Cause we make the wrong noise
|

We're not wanted
But we don't care.
We're not leaving.
We still call this home.
