The leaves

We look so good, as we fall...





"Oderint dum metuant" - Caligula
I know a ghost,
and when doubted his truth reveals incredible vengeance
vanity is a sepulcher
do as you please, shame will follow
languages rot and insects lose interest,
Mountains of plastic, melting away.
As long as these struggles are aimless
we will all be standing still.
When worded correctly, truth is never a cliche
this is because so many are attached to their deaf ears
collect the leaves
count them
name them
study each and every single one of them
as long as these struggles are aimless
we will all be standing still
when worded correctly, truth is never a cliche
This is because so many are attached to their deaf ears
All mistakes can be marked by borders
All of love can be traced to a maker
It seems as if what is most important, isn't noticed when forgotten.
Do as you please, shame will folow
the sun and the moon
You'll always take them for granted
What's delicate is lost.
As the selfish forgot what is the sacred.
The humble forget themselves
When worded correctly, truth is never a cliche
This is because so many are attached to their deaf ears.

Bushido


Eu não tinha pais.
Eu adotei o céu e a terra como meus pais.


Eu não tinha casa.
Eu adotei estar consciente como minha casa.


Pra mim não existia vida e morte.
Eu adotei a respiração e a aspiração como vida e morte.


Eu não possuía meios.
Eu adotei a compreensão como meu meio.


Eu não possuía habilidades especiais.
Eu adotei a moral como minha habilidade especial.


Eu não possuía olhos.
Eu adotei ser rápido como a luz como meus olhos.


Eu não possuía ouvidos.
Eu adotei a sensibilidade como meu ouvido.


Eu não possuía membros.
Eu adotei a agilidade como meus membros.


Eu não possuía estratégias.
Eu adotei não desvanecer de pensamento como minha estratégia.


Eu não possuía projetos.
Eu adotei prever oportunidades como meu projeto.


Eu não possuía princípios.
Eu adotei me adaptar às situações como meu princípio.


Eu não tinha amigos.
Eu adotei meu coração como meu amigo.


Eu não possuía talentos.
Eu adotei o ser persistente como meu talento.


Eu não possuía inimigos.
Eu adotei a imprudência como minha inimiga.


Pra mim não existia milagre.
Eu adotei levar a vida corretamente como milagre.


Eu não possuía corpo.
Eu adotei a paciência como meu corpo.


Eu não possuía armadura.
Eu adotei a compaixão como minha armadura.


Eu não era iluminado.
Eu adotei a determinação como minha iluminação.


Eu não possuía espada.
Eu adotei a ausência de ego como minha espada.

A Rush of Blood to the Head




He said "Oh I'm going to buy a gun and start a war,
If you can tell me something worth fighting for."

Down On My Head

I never thought I would wake up in bed,
Watching the world coming down on my head,
I'd sleep like a dog if you would never have said,
This is the world coming down on your head,
I'm not gonna swallow the lie that I'm fed,
Cause I want the world coming down on my head,
You're just gonna find out you're already dead,
And I was the world coming down on your head!

Of Dust and Nations




So put your faith in more than steel,
Don't store your treasures up, with moth and rust,
Where thieves break in and steal,
Pull the fangs from out your heel,
We live in but a shadow of the real.

Eden




Look out the window kid,
Eden isn't burning,
It's burnt...

Comin' Home







I've seen the palace in London,
And seen the castle in Wales,
But I'd rather wake up beside you,
And breathe that old familiar smell.

This is the life on mars...

He said, "Can you hear me, are you sleeping?"
She said, "Will you rape me now?"
He said, "Leave the politics to mad men"
She said, "I believe your lies"
He said, "There's a paradise beneath me"
She said, "Am I supposed to bleed?"
He said, "You better pray to Jesus"
She said, "I don't believe in god"

It's like love...

Some people get it.
For some is just a glove,
That just never fit in.
For me it's just a pain in the ass,
But i'm addicted to the taste,
Of hopin' it could last...

Ode to Summer




But if it ever came down to one day,
One day left in a thousand,
Our last few minutes of summer Are our last few minutes of warmth
Remember what it was like to enjoy our time,
Before we all go back to school to learn,
Before eyes turn grey again, and we forget what it was ever like to feel awake,
To feel awake...

"Oderint dum metuant" - Caligula

Really love this song!




I almost got drunk at school at 14
Where I almost made out with the homecoming queen
Who almost went on to be miss texas
But lost to a slut with much bigger breastes
I almost dropped out to move to LA
Where I was almost famous for almost a day

And I almost had you
But I guess that doesn’t cut it
Almost loved you
I almost wished u would’ve loved me too

I almost held up a grocery store
Where I almost did 5 years and then 7 more
Cuz I almost got popped for a fight with a thug
Cuz he almost made off with a bunch of the drugs
That I almost got hooked on cuz you ran away
And I wish I woulda had the nerve to ask you to stay

And I almost had you
But I guess that doesn’t cut it
Almost had you
And I didn’t even know it

You kept me guessing and now I guess that
I spent my time missing you
I almost wish you would’ve loved me too

Here I go thinking about all the things I could’ve done
I’m gonna need a forklift cuz all the baggage weighs a ton
I know we’ve had our problems I can’t remember one

I almost forgot to say something else
And if I cant fit it in I’ll keep it all to myself
I almost wrote a song about you today
But I tore it all open and I threw it away

And I almost had you
But I guess that doesn’t cut it
Almost had you
And I didn’t even know it

You kept me guessing and now I guess that
I spent my time missing you
And I almost had you

I almost wish you would’ve loved me too
