Rooster Illusion

Comatose

 

Don't get on that train

Some might say "hold it there, close"

Shattered assumptions

 

Home from war

War at home

And you're trying to cope

While others wouldn't care

So hold it there

Hold it there

Comatose

 

 

 

En La Luz De Huaraz

 

Va despacio

Hacia las montanas

Alli no hay dolor

Nunca jamas

En la luz de Huaraz

 

Asi es la vida, pues

Como dijiste

Y seguimos bailando

Logrando

En tu nombre

Hasta tu Huaraz

 

Va despacio

Hacia las montana

Alli no hay dolor

Nuna jamas

En la luz de Huaraz

 

 

 

 

Twirling In The Shine

(Words by Alex Andreosatos)

 

How many wishes spring from my body?

Like on the first of Spring - the flowers

 

Some are like prophets, young bearded faces

Twirling in the Shine

 

Some are like bandits, breath stealing

Dark haired ones are challenging me

 

So many voices calling me

So many ways to fail

Well...

 

Cold red apples

Filling the air of a desolate season

What separates me,

From my own blossoming?

 

So many voices calling me

So many ways to fail

So many voices calling me

If my body their bed

 

So many voices calling me

So many ways to fail

So many voices calling me

I could be

Twirling in the Shine

 

 

Rooster Illusion

 

Can this really be a change?

One of those times where what you learned is then played

And who looked at you

In smiling disbelief?

It has to happen sometime

 

Now, now, what a moment!

Soon, soon, soon the exchange

 

Can this sincerely be the pain?

One of those times where what you learned is then changed

And you look at you

In smiling disbelief

It had to happen

 

Now, now, what a moment!

Soon, soon, soon the exchange

 

(Such is the life)

(Are you listening?)

(That is the deal)

(On and on and on)

(Just don't fade away)

 

 

Soliloquy

(2017)

 

 

 

Stinky Car

 

As I cruise

In my stinky car

I find ways around the obstacles of modern life

On this trip

On my placid trip

Yes, my pessimistic attitude goes on the shelf

‘Cause you see

It’s all temporary

None of this

Really matters

As told by Mr. Mercury

 

Ha ha ha, live the life

It’s OK, live the life

Optimistic attitude is what you wanna be

 

Ha ha ha, live the life

It’s OK, live the life

Positive altitude is where you wanna be

 

Nessun Dorma
(Something Crazy)

 

Something crazy

Something crazy about you

Something crazy about you that I don’t like

It’s getting on my nerves

It’s moving up my spine

It’s picking at my conscience

I’m losing peace of mind

And pieces of my mind

 

Ooh, Nessun Dorma

 

Something crazy

Something crazy about you that I don’t like

 

It’s getting on my nerves

It’s moving up my spine

It’s picking at my conscious

It’s eating up my mind

And killing it

 

Ooh, Nessun Dorma

 

 

My Horizon

 

My horizon slices through the garden

Never mind why it started

But people get broken hearted

 

And I’ve been fighting

I won’t be forgotten

But I’m torn in two in this violin

That keeps playing life’s song

 

I’ve got a problem

Taking in everyone’s venom

Well they keep coming back again

‘cause they’re still looking for heaven

 

And I’ve been fighting

I won’t be forgotten

But I’m torn in two in this violin

That keeps playing life’s song

 

My horizon

Slices through your horizon

Slices through the garden

 

Cavin' In

 

Cavin’ in, cavin’ in

These walls

C-c-c-cavin’ in

 

Suddenly I go down

WHAT?!

(psycho-analytical)

HUH?!

 

1-2-3-4

 

Numb, to how I identify

Numb, to how I identify

Reason of time deserted

Dehydrated, introverted

Feels like I’m in the mirror stage

Shatter the glass with all this rage

The walls are cracking in too quick, I need a diagnosis

My trains of thought gone from this cold psychosis

 

 

Subtlety In The Tone

 

It's showtime

Time to put your face on right

You're heading home

Tear apart the doctor's note

 

I get the feeling every now and then

I hear a voice

Telling me what to do

And every bit of the subtlety in the tone

Telling me how

I'm learning what to choose

It's paving me the way

I'm breaking through

Nothing to say

Nothing to lose

 

It's showtime

Time to put your face on right

You're heading home

Tear apart the doctor's note


 

 

There's A Woman Lost At Sea

 

There's a woman lost at sea
 

Calls my name hopefully
 

She looks up ashore
 

The one, the one thing she adores


 

There is a cold side to me
 

'Cause I know Time can set me free

Well, I walk down the shore

Further down along the ocean floor

 

 

 

 

 

Beauty Pains

 

Look beyond the growing pains

Dive inside the day

 

Whoever's above the rain

... Some will away

 

Beauty pains

 

Look beyond the black outlines

Twirling in the shine

 

Save it all for space and time

Angry is blinded

 

Beauty pains

Song Of Pi

 

I've been rid of all trace of my family

and slowly my illusion of hope

has been vanishing

 

And I've been waiting 

for these birds to fly me home

And I've been sleeping

for days, patiently

 

And I cannot believe this anymore

 

Well I've got smoke

lining out my horizon

And I've come higher, higher than the birds

And I'm only rising

 

And I'm believing

that the ship's going to take me home

And I've been dreaming

for the storm to take me away

And I cannot believe she can't see me

 

Sensing You

 

Sensing you, Sensing you

Causing me to improvise

Lyrical, lyrically fantasize

 

It's because

I'm searching everyday

It's because

A man said "never disregard"

It's because

You're becoming the core

It's because

You seamlessly pull me away

To you

 

Sensing you, Sensing you

Causing me to improvise

Lyrical, musically fantasize

 

 

 

My routine

For the golden morning

My routine

For the fateful night

Even though you're always disappearing from my view

I'll wait in the dark

For that moment

For that moment with you

When I'm...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fantasy?

 

How would I find fantasy

When every time I leave you,

I’ve awoken from a dream?

 

There you were

White summer dress

Out the blue

And safe in the red

Pandora

Send me a signal

I’m there for you

Please don’t ghost again

 

How would I find fantasy

When every time I leave you,

I’ve awoken from a dream?

 

 

 

 

To Embark

 

I keep believing that it’s shocking

That it’s shocking that I’m leaving

Believing there’s reason there

And I can’t tell or believe it

Would leaving leave a marking there

Is it shocking that I’m leaving?

Believe it when the sun come down

When the sun come down

When the sun come down

 

My heart bleeds but there’s reason there

It’s proven there I’ve seen

Even if I freeze all alone

I’ll stay all alone in season

I’m weaving in the ‘who and where’ thread

Is it shocking that I’m leaving?

Believe it all around

I’m leaving there

I’m leaving reason

 

Stepping through the clouds

Shining at the gates

 

 

Violet

 

Something unsteady

In the air’s mood

I came to find

My friend fast asleep

 

His dreams uncoil

Crown of shakra

A color so true

We call it Violet

 

Now Violet surrounds me

And duality fades

Free from illusion

Free in the haze

 

His dreams uncoil

Crown of shakra

A color so true

We call it Violet

 

 

 

Wildly I Seize You

 

Don’t tell no one

So wildly I seize you

 

You know that everyday is a one way run

But I’d fly there to see you too

 

And we fear the wake up

Upon arrival

 

Lifelines are ready

So wildly I seize you

 

You know that everyday is a one way run

But I’d fly there to see you too

Yeah, to see you too

 

But I, can’t help, but run, the other way

 

 

 

 

Further Down

 

According to the pedigree

They all look the same

Toe to toe, and knee to knee

Shape inflate

And shape and build and build

Purebred for productivity

Sworn to an empty oath that never ends

And it’s all for the GDP

 

Here goes, further down the rabbit hole

We’ll go further down the rabbit hole

 

Soaked in gold, your fingers whither

The end of time

Nations rule in plastic prayer

They fear the ticking

What did I want when I walked this way?

Did the smiles from the board take my pain away?

 

It goes, further down the rabbit hole

Here, go further down the rabbit hole

 

 

Soliloquy

 

When I'm free of some time
 

for some visceral soliloquy
 

I picture myself in a mind


far aligned from me
 

and I plea


What it means to be
 

Long as time guarantees

 

 

Godsent misfortune

...déjà vu
 



Missa en aeternum

Non est responsum
 



What to do, what to do?

What to do, but join?
