I was dead since the noon Boatman'll take me away Fragile words I said Like monks in a fray The station agent sleeps He cannot explain How the images slip How to escape from the pain All the poets, all the poets, all the poets are dead We were born into this house with a crack in our heads All the poets, all the poets, all the poets are dead Leave your tongue on our discretion and we'll heal all your dreads I was fading away I was feeling confused My ordinary days Leisured and misused I've followed the trail No escape from the line Deadheads grab by the car I can hear their whine All the poets, all the poets, all the poets are dead We were born into this house with a crack in our heads All the poets, all the poets, all the poets are dead Leave your tongue on our discretion and we'll heal all your dreads Cities tall as god People short as graves We're coming with the wind And we'll leave with the waves All the poets, all the poets, all the poets are dead Now I have one more try just to see you pretend All the poets, all the poets, all the poets are dead Round and round just like flies on a spider's web All the poets, all the poets, all the poets are dead We were born into this house with a crack in our heads All the poets, all the poets, all the poets are dead Leave your tongue on our discretion and we'll heal all your dreads

Flesh Police 04:21
Don’t take me home Don’t take me home tonight Spread your wings and fly Fly away Don’t take me home Leave me in the rain Leave me alone Stay away Sit next to us, come and watch the stars

Another Hero for consumption Director Is yelling "Action" The crowd Strips its inaction But someone left behind You, always you Cause you Never felt this way You always walk away You never raise your hand Another Day to start a fight Cosmonauts Dream their flight Someone goes Gentle Into that good night You, always you Cause you Never felt this way You always walk away You never raise your hand

Sleepless on the coast I choose to have no fear Lovers on the road Poke their hearts with spears Trains full of lust Betrayed jump the trail Apartments full of dust Waiting for a wave And Hero of the day Is walking in the park Playing with the water Mirroring his eyes Hero of the day Is kissing his wife Flying over cities As celebrating life The border is just a line A reason to hate me Nothing was ever mine Not even this pale skin A dreamer on the roof trying to steal the stars I call him brother You can call him smug Did you hear the wind? It's whispering your name Satisfy your thirst With the water of the rain Come on, let's take a walk I cannot wait, I can't pretend But still we got the time To call each other "friend" But Hero of the day Is playing with his child Reading to him poems With his broken tongue Hero of the day Is kissing his wife Flying over cities As celebrating life And Hero of the day Is walking in the park Playing with the water Mirroring his eyes Hero of the day Is kissing his wife Flying over cities As celebrating life

I was standing by the river In the water gold and silver If I touch you I will hurt you If I don’t, I will regret it Once again The same mistakes I was looking for the perfect For the one, for the endless But I’m just a weeny clown Another shadow in this town “Show me a joke” The mirror said But you When I fall You lift me, you show me the road But you When I stop You push me, you pull me to go I was waiting for the snowfall With a torn coat that smells awful Did I mention that I like you? Did you know that I’ll love you -please don’t laugh- Until love dies But you When I fall You lift me, you show me the road But you When I stop You push me, you pull me to go

I believe that life will go on No matter if I’m right or if I’m wrong There’s a road that lead us to the world And I’m not just another pawn I believe that time will tell the truth That if you want it you never lose your youth There’s a place that you don’t have to hide And beauty dies only when it wants to die I’m so glad that I found you I believe that the dreamers will prevail Just to invent another fairy tale Every man and woman are like gods And no temple can jail their love I believe that everyone‘s alone But when you find someone, you find a home Hey poet, come and take my hand I believe that this is not the end I’m so glad that I found you

Hate Song 03:58
I'm the one who killed John And the man who killed King I'm the Columbine boys And their broken wings I'm the echo of Beslan A black widow's truth And I will kill you, I will kill you Whatever you do Run away from my door Better watch out for signs You have the skin of worms I have a blade for your kind I'm the chosen of God And I don't want to play So I will kill you, I will kill you Whatever you say I have so many names I wasn't born in one place You can call me Franco But expect no grace Chile, Russia or Greece I'm nobody's fool And I will kill you, I will kill you Whatever you do I have worn the white hood I took away Joey's babe I've set crosses on fire I have no time to wait I held the black stone Sinful now you'll pay And I will kill you, I will kill you Whatever you say I'm the ghost of this world My face is always your face My words are your words About religion and race Don't wash up your hands I know that you knew So I will kill you, I will kill you Whatever you do All these beautiful words I said ‘em again and again “Rebellion”, “Freedom”, “Resist” “You’ve got to break your chain” I’m an excellent liar The only color is gray And I will kill you, I will kill you Whatever you say I’m part of the crowd I’m a train of hate I don’t have any doubt I don’t care to explain I build bridges of lies I’m always ready to shoot And I will kill you, I will kill you Whatever you do

This is the hate and this is the love All I ever wanted and none of the above The infinite road these fuckin’ walls This is the hate and this is the love This is my fire and this is your ice How could I sleep when one million eyes Staring at me like blind mice This is my fire and this is your ice This is my truth and this is your lie You told me I got wings but I cannot fly Buried by the earth I wish you were right This is my truth and this is your lie
12.
Where have you been my blue-eyed son? When I was cracked by a million tongues When I was thirsty, all alone A thousand miles away from home Where have you been my sweetest love? Someone left a message on the door “Don’t leave this house without a gun” Where have you been my blue-eyed son? Where have you been my dearest friend? Into the night I asked your hand The silent ocean spread its waves For all the divers find a grave Where have you been my lovely queen? Planets and stars die on your skin This rotten world comes to an end Where have you been my dearest friend?

Shine 04:02
Wake I have a confession to make From all the lights I choose grey No one can save me from this Why Please don’t ask me this time I’m not a father tonight I’m just bullets and guns Shine I want to tell you it’s all right I want to remember your smile But even if things could be right I was wrong, I was blind Sleep We own our deepest dreams I can’t ask you to forgive Someone who’s out of faith Now Eternity smiles like a clown I can not hear any sound There is no heaven of hell Shine I want to tell you it’s all right I want to remember your smile But even if things could be right I was wrong, I was blind
14.
I want you to know that I’m not coming back My life was a silent Walk through the stars I want you to wake up And take the wild road Leave your tracks on the highway And find what the storm bodes A flash before my eyes Let me see what I’ve to see I’m not the person that Once I have dreamed to be What happened or what’s the point All have drowned in the sea I never realized what I’ve done I want u to save me I can’t do it by myself This boat needs two hearts now To sail above this wave
15.
I know your face, your heart, your fears But I can’t wait to see your move So I’ll take your hand We will rise and then All the comets will seem like trains I know you count, you add, you subtract Thought your fingers were made for math But when look at the stars The light explodes in your arms And you become the boy you were once I feel alone, marooned, so small But I can see my writing on the wall It says “when you feel enslaved Grab a bird from its tail And fly away, it’s time to escape I saw the king, his throne and his crown He orders things but none was around The other said “look at me, I got the beauty on my skin” But all I saw was a man and his sins Now the lights went out as I see And that’s something I can really forgive In the dark there are no lines No borders, no crimes And that’s place that I want to live in I got my youth, my feet and my dreams And I don’t care if in this world I don’t fit I’ve got invisible wings I was made from this thing That the loveless and fascists can’t see
