Forbidden 04:39

Forbidden The simple people is the one Who lives the entire life struggling. Life is hard, life is hell here For the simple people like us. It is forbidden to breathe. A high price for whatever we need. We are the wheels of the chariot That wouldn't move without us. But we're considered like zeroes. Mistreated, disrespected Crushed, devoured Forgotten and tortured. We are forbidden a peaceful life. We don't know what a life without worries is We work hard everyday Just for a piece of bread And the rest is taken away from our blood Is this really happening? Is here where I'm waking up everyday? Why should we just accept it? Why should it be forbidden to be happy? But we're considered zeroes. Mistreated, disrespected Crushed, devoured Forgotten and tortured. We are forbidden a peaceful life. It is forbidden to breathe. It is forbidden to breathe. Is this really happening? Is here where I'm waking up everyday? Why should we just accept it? Why should it be forbidden to be happy?

All we don't see 03:55
lyrics

All we don't see It's irrelevant Which sphere we belong to All we don't see It doesn't mean that doesn't exist The absence of tolerance Generates arrogant violence And violence is the one thing That doesn't discriminate anybody All we reject Doesn't mean that is wrong There's no need to attack All that is different All we don't know scares us To attack is a human reaction It's the human instinct for survival But where is our humanity? All we don't see It doesn't mean that doesn't exist The absence of tolerance Generates arrogant violence And violence is the one thing That doesn't discriminate anybody We categorize souls depending on Status, origin, age, colour We create spaces to small To contain our spirits We need more freedom We need to free our spirits We need more flexible spaces We need different spaces All we don't see It doesn't mean that doesn't exist

Leaders 04:46
lyrics

Leader Who did established the way That things are meant to be? Who's so much more than the others To take the right to establish the rules? Defining and imposing The line we have to follow The borders we mustn't cross The shape we have to take? Who's who to think is saying the truth? Who's who to convince us That is saying the truth? How to trust who's pointing their finger? This is the world of the leaders Where everybody fights To play the role of the leader And there are no rules in this game The broken wings bleed No more flights, no more freedom We could share the same space But we put the others in their place We could work together To build a world that works But we use our intelligence To create obstacles for the others. We put the others in their place, without grace We create obstacles for the others. This is the world of the leaders Where everybody fights To play the role of the leader And there are no rules in this game The world is falling apart So many souls are paying the price For the blindness Of the ones who want to be big. This is the world of the leaders Where everybody fights To play the role of the leader And there are no rules in this game

Beggar heart 04:33
lyrics
buy track
Beggar heart It's early morning At the entrance of the mall And you can see them waking up Before the respectable people arrive (Beggar heart, beggar heart) They silently remove The pieces of the cardboard They have spent another cold night on A sigh, homeless one more day. A hard challenge So easily underestimated By those who don't know How life on the street feels like (Beggar heart, beggar heart) INSTRUMENTAL SOLO From the heights of their ego They consider them inferior Because they look tired and dirty They look sorrowful and lonely (Beggar heart, beggar heart) They are survivors Life on the street hits the soul Fighting the darkness and hoping to win Every single day, under the eyes of the sky. A hard challenge So easily underestimated By those who don't know What it means to lose it all (Beggar heart, beggar heart) Never lose your heart Even when those beggar hearts Make you feel like nothing, Never forget who you really are... inside!

Hush-hush 04:14
lyrics

Hush-hush After the violence She was suffering in silence Another violence everyday Seeing those faces again Tormenting her Hearing their voices again Threatening her Hush-hush, button-up your mouth One more day, one more fucking day No more marks on her flesh Permanent marks on her heart She doesn't want to say anything And she's dying inside She thinks she's not strong enough To bring the truth to light And there she is alone and afraid No hands to heal her pain And she keeps writing on her diary I'm gonna lose my mind I have lost my mind I'm gonna lose my mind I have lost my mind I'm gonna lose my mind I have lost my mind Hush-hush, button-up your mouth One more day, one more fucking day No more marks on her flesh Permanent marks on her heart Today she opened her diary Like any other morning But today she ripped all the pages And she burned them all Then she made a calling And she opened her mouth.

Happy family 05:11
lyrics
buy track
Happy family A real family needs time to build The mutual respect to be able To trust each other And sometimes it never happens A real family goes through a lot A lot of difficulties and misunderstandings A lot of obstacles and secrets That in the end, often break it A real family has a black sheep Sometimes there is violence Other times there are abuses Often we wish we never had a family And the happy family makes it even harder To accept our reality because... The happy family has never a fight The happy family doesn't make mistakes The happy, happy family Is only on our TVs. Nobody speaks about the family That's living in a squat without electricity. It's too much awkward to hear about Those kids with alcoholic parents. So many sad stories and all true Everybody with a different one to tell And there's nobody luckier than the others Because the perfect family doesn't really exist. But this shouldn't make us sad This shouldn't make us lose the faith. We can find something beautiful Even in imperfection and sorrow We shouldn't watch too much The apparent inconsistency of a lie... The happy family has never a fight The happy family doesn't make mistakes The happy, happy family Is only on our TVs. The real family isn't our blood But the persons we meet living The persons who choose us for who we are The ones who adhere to our heart And make us feel like we are home And make us feel like finally We are not alone!

Blind 03:23
lyrics

Blind She gives you only grief But you're back to her everytime. When we meet you're in pieces And you go back to her again and again. Blind! You're not in love with her It's worse, she tamed you. Confessing me you feel snared And startled at the same time. Blind! Don't you see? Don't you understand? The bond exists only in your mind! She only does to you What you allow her to do to you. Blind! You're not just blind You're coward and weakling. Unable to get it over with her. More than a man, you're a doll. Blind! Then you come to me Hoping to pity me. You're a doll, I can't respect you anymore!

All bark and no bite 04:20
lyrics

All bark and no bite Sometimes it's easier To accept the choices of the others Aware that if you don't You'll be alone yet again... They've been confusing me enough With their mendacity I let them sneak into me Feeding my heart with hatred. You must do, you must choose You mustn't think, you mustn't say Why should I listen to them If all I see in their intentions Is all bark and no bite? All bark and no bite! For all my life They've imposed me to change Expecting me to embrace their dogmas Without questioning their ways. You must do, you must choose You mustn't think, you mustn't say Why should I listen to them If all I see that their intentions Are all bark and no bite? All bark and no bite! I let them sneak into me Feeding my heart with hatred But I safe guarded my last pure fragment In a secret refuge I can't recognize myself Get out of my mind. Oh, my last pure fragment, Burst and leave your secret refuge, Open my dormant eyes. It's time to get rid of those lies. I need to feel purified.

Viewfinder 04:07

Viewfinder The masters of the world Decide 'till which point We can arrive and when We have to fall or die The rulers of the world Live safe behind their walls Controlling us as if they were gods With no mercy, no compassion The system's viewfinder Is ever pointed at the rebels Who are willing to change The symphony of this misery It's so hard to don't break the silence While they sit on armchairs Giving orders to their armed forces Without getting their hands. They create the unbalanced law That allows them to enjoy Privileges and immunities And condemns us to an unbridled misery. The system's viewfinder Is ever pointed at the rebels Who are willing to change The symphony of this misery Viewfinder, viewfinder The system's viewfinder Viewfinder, viewfinder The system's viewfinder Has no mercy, no compassion Has no mercy, no compassion Viewfinder, viewfinder The system's viewfinder Viewfinder, viewfinder The system's viewfinder Has no mercy, no compassion Has no mercy, no compassion

You are nothing 04:33

You are nothing After years of suffering and delusions, After you broke my illusions, After losing the hope to be loved by you As I am, dear father... I left you I left you in your convintions I let you live your erotic dream With a heartless woman And you let her break our love Forever And now, after all those years Of silence and absence They have come to tell me That you died some month ago Dear father... You left me for a pussy I left you for pain Now there's nothing left to say Dear father... You are nothing Dear father... You are nothing For the first time in my life I haven't found any emotion to feel And I haven't the sensation That I've lost somebody. Dear father... You left me for a pussy I left you for pain Now there's nothing left to say Dear father... You are nothing Dear father... You are nothing You will never come back And I have no tears for you I watched inside of me And I've only found the indifference That you gave me year after year.

Dark velvet 04:58

Dark velvet I've never felt so good, as when you hold me I feel at peace only when you're around me There's nothing strong enough To destroy who we are when we are together When I saw you for the first time You were in a black dress With a black soul, your hands on her And your mind on your next prey. When I saw you for the first time You were wrapped in dark velvet As graceful as cold, with your arms Around him and your eyes on his pocket. I instantly fell for you Feeling something more than Full pockets and an empty soul I couldn't resist your piercing gaze. You were the fire I never felt before You were all I could think about My mind stopped thinking And my heart started craving... You! I came to you with all my scars I brought to you my past days When I was weak and afraid I didn't know how to show you the truth. I entered your life without considering The jealousy I was bringing with me All those women I tried, But they were in love with my inaccessibility. I've never felt so good, as when you hold me I feel at peace only when you're around me There's nothing strong enough To destroy who we are when we are together When I saw you in your black dress I couldn't think of my past anymore I saw behind your black soul and I found The man I wanted to be part of my life. When I saw you wrapped in dark velvet All that was before, suddenly stopped being I didn't see just an attractive woman, But the woman I wanted to be part of my life. I've never felt so good, as when you hold me I feel at peace only when you're around me There's nothing strong enough To destroy who we are when we are together.

Substance 03:42

Substance I spent my life believing That innocence is everywhere I used to believe That everyone is good I was looking for substance In the heart of people And I ended up using substances To don't feel the emptiness I never desired to create a fortress To protect my heart I needed to feel, I wanted to feel 'Till I felt too much Too much darkness for my heart Too much emptiness for my soul Too much indifference That started consuming me So I started consuming I gave up with all my dreams I abandoned my beliefs I entered in the perdition's spiral I was looking for substance In the heart of people And I ended up using substances To don't feel the emptiness Lost in the absence of hope Lost in the incomprehension That ever left me outside in the cold Killing my soul, drying my heart Only using substances I can deal with the absence of substance In this cold empty world...

Dreams will come true We try and retry We never stop for all our life To reach our goals And arrive where we want We try and retry We never stop, we never surrender Our dreams are our world Spark of life for our spirits Whisper to your dreams Nourish them with your breath Make them develop and grow Let your dreams come true! Don't pay any attention to the ones Who try to splatter your dreams Don't betray yourself Don't let them splatter your dreams Never be scared about The sacrifices you make. What you'll join in the end Is bigger than you can imagine Whisper to your dreams Nourish them with your breath Make them develop and grow Let your dreams come true! No dream is too big, never too big You can give shape to all you see In your heart, with your heart Forget about the fear of failing Don't pay any attention to the ones Who try to splatter your dreams Don't betray yourself Don't let them splatter your dreams Never be scared about The sacrifices you make. What you'll join in the end Is bigger than you can imagine Whisper to your dreams Nourish them with your breath Make them develop and grow Let your dreams come true! Try and retry, be brave Never stop to create the life You've ever dreamt about!
