LYRICS

AWAKEN DREAM

This is a critical situation
You were looking for information
And all you got was inspiration
To accept an invitation
That’s where your no-end trip began

Look inward, what do you see
Instead of blood into your veins?
You feel like it’s parky outside
But it’s burning all inside
It’s just like hell and paradise

You live just partime in the real life
Being a pilgrim the rest of the time
It seemed to be the salvation
But it was the beggining of your plod
The poison into your blood, a cloak to your soul

YOUR VANITIES’VE VANISHED AND GONE
WAKE UP KID, THAT´S AN AWAKEN DREAM
STAND UP BOY, STOP PLAYING WITH YOUR
LOOK ABOVE YOU NOW, THE SUN SHINES THROUGH THE CLOUDS

When the night is falling, and you hear someone calling
Although you know you’re all alone
So you pick up the phone, dial 911
And realize you’re at the danger zone
It’d be better if you had gone

When the world’s up side down
All you do is close your eyes
To pretend you’re sleeping now
Stand in front the mirror
And face the black circles around your eyes

When you put your sun glasses to hide them behind
You think it was the perfect crime


BEING ALIVE

I remember one day, at the pouring rain
I wasn’t worry about getting wet
I felt so good, refreshing my sweat
But the rain brought me fever and pain (2x)

The pills I had to take to heal somethings
Made others get worse
Like the decisions you’ve gotta take
‘Till you hit the target, you lose some points
‘Till you get to the top, you’ll have some falls

IT’S THE REASON FOR BEING ALIVE
TO LOVE SOMEONE, YOU GOTTA BE ALIVE
THAT’S THE PRICE YOU PAY FOR BEING ALIVE

A long time ago, you were a happy little child
With no worries at all
Now you’re always get upset
It’s not fair, life is so cruel and unkind

It’s not usual things being
What they really seem to be
People don’t often show their faces
But you’ve probably seen their masks
Learn it for the future from the lessons of your past


CAR CRASH

His Chevy was ready, the gas tank was full
He packed his bags, didn’t forget even the wool
Didn’t care about outside’s torrent
Cause it's been months without seeing his parents
Living so far away, many miles between them

Hit the road, through the night
Driving fast as a flash light
But he’d worked hard all day long,
The more he was getting closer
The most he got tired
In his dreams he was already there

CAR CRASH, SLEEPING AT THE WHEEL
BLEEDING IN THE FLESH, THE PAIN HE FEELS
WAS THE LAST THING TO REMEMBER
BEFORE FAINTING IN THAT AWFUL SEPTEMBER

He close his eyes just for a blink
And when he opens, there was no time to think
In a flash, fire was already burning all,
His wife screaming, he tried to walk
But he fell down, and had to crawl
An angel had come to save their souls
Flying back to heaven while the bell tolls

CAR CRASH, SLEEPING AT THE WHEEL
BLEEDING IN THE FLESH, THE PAIN HE FEELS
WAS THE LAST THING TO REMEMBER
BEFORE FAINTING IN THAT AWFUL SEPTEMBER


CHASING MONEY

I woke up today, but I haven’t even slept
Thinking about some business I’m having problems to dispatch
Tried to get to the kitchen but my legs didn't help
Looked at my face in the mirror, it’s not me but someone else

Running in streets, chasing money
Will this running never end?
Going after my life, chasing money
God, how I wish I could get back

Never thought my life would be easy
Cos’ I was born in a big city
But I shared my youth with great friends
Laughed a lot, took a chance
Who can tell what’s coming next?

Running in streets, chasing money
Will this running never end?
Going after my life, chasing money
God, how I wish I could get back

Sitting on the chair, I’m home again
The fridge is empty, my head in pain
I close my eyes, I need to rest
Can’t get no sleep, still lost in the past
Thinking if tomorrow will be the same?
If so, I’m out of this game


NOT ABLE

I can tell when you’re angry
I can feel that you were sad
Just by the things that you’ve said
I’m weak, I know I can’t help you
I wasn’t able to save you instead
Sure, it’s no good, but you know I’m not bad

I’m not able to LOVE YOU TOO,
I’m not MAD, BUT I KNOW I JUST CAN’T
PLEASE DON’t SAY I’M NOT A MAN
FORGIVE ME FOR BEING SUCH A FOOL

Don’t blame me for this ‘cause I’ve already done it
And it’s not easy to live with this guilt
The weight on my back really hurts
The picture of you on my nighstand
The shame of my face in the mirror
The regret of the time we’ve lost

I’m not able to LOVE YOU, I KNOW,
I’m not WORTHY OF COMPASSION
I DESERVE ALL YOUR DESBELIEF
FORGIVE ME FOR BEING SUCH A FOOL


REDENÇÃO

Meu olhar perdido pela janela, de uma noite quente
Mesmo perdido, eu me encontrei em você,
Em você, eu encontrei o amor, eu aprendi a amar

Pela janela, me impressiono... uma visão tão bela
E refletindo, eu imagino... eu vejo a lua
Com a sua luz refletida no mar, como uma linda aquarela
O cais distante, mas não mais que o meu pensamento
Ao meu presente, você já não pertence... infelizmente...
O meu presente... eu queria que fosse você
Do meu passado, estive ausente
E foi por isso que te perdi

SEM você, o meu tempo parou
SEM você, parOU MEU CORAÇÃO
NAS MINHAS VEIAS, O SANGUE CONGELOU
PRECISO DE VOCÊ, PRA MINHA REDENÇÃO

Outro dia eu te vi, você passou tão apressada
Nem reparou que eu estava aqui
Que eu estava onde sempre estivemos
Onde passamos nossos verões... nossos invernos

O inverno agora vive dentro de mim
O inferno astral, já sei, é mesmo assim

Sem você, o meu tempo parou
SEM você, parOU MEU CORAÇÃO
NAS MINHAS VEIAS, O SANGUE CONGELOU
PRECISO DE VOCÊ, PRA MINHA REDENÇÃO


OLHOS VERMELHOS

E EU QUE PENSEI QUE TUDO CONHECIA,
ESTAVA DE SACO CHEIO, A VIDA É UMA ROTINA
SEM COMEÇO, SEM MEIO E SEM FIM
BUSQUEI NA FANTASIA OUTRO MODO DE VIVER,
ME DESLIGUEI, USEI A IMAGINAÇÃO, E ME LIVREI DESSAS ALGEMAS

NO COMEÇO TUDO BEM,
VOCÊ VIVE NOUTRO MUNDO
ATÉ QUE É BEM LEGAL,
MAS DEPOIS VOCÊ SE DÁ MAL

OS MEUS OLHOS VERMELHOS ME FAZEM LEMBRAR SANGUE
É UMA LIÇÃO DE VIDA PARAR DE ME DROGAR
E CURAR ESTA FERIDA

NÃO TENHO MAIS AMIGOS, SEI QUE ESTOU PERDIDO
E JÁ QUE FIQUEI SOZINHO SEM QUALQUER RIQUEZA
SIGO MEU CAMINHO.


STORIES OF GRANDPA

Grandpa used to sing me a lullaby
Of a tinny little girl, who disappeared one day
She was walking on the streets, hunting butterflies
When an old man came to her, offering a rose bay
She accepted with a smile, still missing teeth in her mouth
She was really young, no malice in her heart
Nobody heard; no, nobody heard her shout

That old man hiding behind a disguise
THAT HELPLESS GIRL (SHE WAS SO YOUNG AND SHY)
NO CLUES, JUST THE TESTEMONY OF
THOSE BRIGHT BUTTERFLIES

Her mom always told: never talk to a stranger
That’s what you need to be safe from the dangers
The world outside and people inside are both rotten
Love and compassion were once forgotten
That was the way Grandpa prepared me for life
Telling me a story, always with a smile
Looking at me tenderly by my side,
I hope he’s still watching me once in a while
