Track Name: She (feat . Nanook & David Rosado)
She... She has the perfect dice
She is the one I love the most
An angel's face with the devil's eyes

She... She does it so damn well
I feel I burn in hell with
All the secret stories that she tells

No way... I'm breaking free today

I am a simple visionary
Alone and feeling fine, a legendary thinker
wanderer, dreamer, always out of line

I am roaming all the time
Writing lines that rhyme and I'm
Lost sometimes within these thoughts that die

No way... I'm breaking free today
Track Name: Coming of age
Faking myself just to blend
Bend myself to your guiding lines

Numbing the pain to make it
Bearable to breathe around you

A higher state of consciousness
A duller state of pride

Awaken from that self-proclaimed
Shipwreck before the tide

Embrace
Release

Strip them from their moral pedestal
Prejudice will help them capsize

Stripped from all that's infantile
Gluttons still cry out for more

Disembodied, craving further
Emancipation from the herd

Acquitted by the single
Lonely error of the word

Embrace
Release
Track Name: Runaway
Someday's you just can't relate to all the crap all around you
you really feel your mind is gonna burst
You can live or you can die but the world will never know

Yeah, don't Run away now
You gotta find yourself and make do with what you are
Don't run away now
You have to turn your scars into your pride

Criticize when you see lies but soon you'll say you're own goodbyes
When you find out you're in disguise and all that's wrong is you

Yeah, don't Run away now
You gotta find yourself and make do with what you are
Don't run away now
You have to turn your scars into your pride
Track Name: Down and drowning
Like an atheist tries to meet god on his deathbed
You try to make amends for all the times you fled
But you might want to grasp a concept
And realize, realize that I don't give a damn
The whole soul business is just a scam

You can't drink, now drink your way out, out of this
You can't drink, now drink your way out, out of this
You can numb your mind, pretend your blind, dig an even deeper hole You can't drink, now drink your way out, out of this

How can I forgive and forget
The horrors I've seen with all the places I've been
Life is just a river flowing down to and through you
And I do not want to wake up every morning thinking
It would be better off without you

You can't drink, now drink your way out, out of this
You can't drink, now drink your way out, out of this
You can pray but life has a funny way of catching up to your mistakes
You can't drink, now drink your way out, out of this

You can't drain me, you can't bring me down, you can't change me.
You can't drain me, you can't bring me down.
Track Name: Love in violence (feat. Poli, Trinchas & João Brito)
You... you can't handle the truth
You can't handle the pain, you decay
Go... go and hide on your shadow
Maybe soon you'll fade away

Now you are so cold but I guess you're right
That's only fitting when friendship dies

THERE IS NO LOVE IN YOUR VIOLENCE

If you think I'm fire I'll burn all connections then

Now I have some drugs to do
Some drugs to forget
I'm... I'm not ashamed that I loved you
I'm ashamed that we ever met

We built pyramids in the beginning of time
Crossed labyrinths with lust on our minds

THERE IS NO LOVE IN YOUR VIOLENCE

We entered forbidden places and then we died

THERE IS NO LOVE IN YOUR VIOLENCE

'...o que eramos ainda somos, mas o que somos não sabemos...'

We fell through holes on the floor
We cried through cracks in the sky
We entered forbidden places
...and then we died
