Breathe until you’re there
Bear the intentions that you wear
Will we have to travel far?
Or is it right here where we are?
Is there a way for us to get there quickly?
Is there a way that will make us get there right on time?
Miss what isn’t here
Forgetting always what is near
How deeply shall we dig?
Or often feed desire’s needs?
Is there a way for us to get there quickly?
Is there a way that will make us get there right on time?
I might understand it all
Forget it all
I’ll leave it out there
I might understand it all
Forget it all
And leave it out!

Under the burning sun
Is where I’ll shed my skin.
It’s insatiable,
My thirst for heat
Makes me forget
That I might end up burnt.
(Chorus)
Dank from where I climb,
Searching for sweeter rhyme,
Standing firm. Playing part,
Defined by a broken line.
Is it all really true?
Under the crescent moon
Is where I’ll comb my fur.
It’s the intractable might
Of it’s pull that is enticing
To my dancing feet.
(Chorus)
Dreaming with the view
It’s when I thought of you
Standing firm. Playing part,
Defined by a broken line.
Is it all really true?

Sorry to leave you behind.
I’ve been looking for what’s hard to find.
After I visit the void,
Hope I’m able to savor the joy within.
So many days have gone by,
Edifying towers in the dark.
Craving to live up high
Lost in the senseless
Nowhere to be found.
All during morning hours,
Shines off with the newest rise.
It’s when I’ve found some inner peace.
Is it within reach?
Will love come to bleach
all the darkness that every night leaks
and stains all into a lie?
All during morning hours,
Shines off with the newest rise.
It’s when I’ve found some inner peace.
Only while unified,
No rope of confusion ties,
Bounding the never-ending riddles of deceit.

Poltergeist (Live)

It feels like, it feels like it's slipping away.
It slips away.
Chasing a rabbit has been my whole day.
A deep beat raised, dancing the night off is something that I like to taste.
Don't slip away, don't dare you fall behind!
So stay away 'cause I'll play every card that I know, or try to keep up, 'cause I feel that there is time here wasting everything.
Every day I just try to escape out of everything!
Oh, when I feel like it!
When I see!
Oh, when I think about time, oh, about time!

It’s been so long since I’ve felt you since you’ve been gone.
No sé ni como explicarte, pero no es dolor.
Here I'm waiting sleepless long nights,
wondering if you feel warm with the sunlight.
Still I'm waiting sleepless all night.
Hope to have you there for the long run.
The pass of time makes me drift away,
get swept by ‘Currents’ and meet me there.
The pass of time makes me drift away
Ii’ll play ‘In Rainbows’ inside my head.
You’re the mirror that reflects my feelings it’s all fucked up.
I think we don’t have an option, it’s time for letting us go.
Here I'm waiting sleepless long nights,
wondering if you feel warm with the sunlight.
Still i’m waiting sleepless all night.
Hope to have you there for the long run.
The pass of time makes me drift away,
get swept by ‘Currents’ and meet me there.
The pass of time makes me drift away
Ii’ll play ‘In Rainbows’ inside my head.
Is this an optic illusion?
Is this an optic illusion?
or a puzzle of love?
Is this an optic illusion?
or a puzzle of?
The pass of time makes me drift away,
get swept by ‘Currents’ and meet me there.
The pass of time makes me drift away
Ii’ll play ‘In Rainbows’ inside my head.
The pass of time makes me drift away,
get swept by ‘Currents’ and meet me there.
The pass of time makes me drift away
Ii’ll play ‘In Rainbows’ inside my head.

Let Go (Live)

Let go, where are you gonna hide em?
Let go, where are you gonna hide em?
Let go, where are you gonna hide em?
Fantasies feed all the matters of the heart,
Of what is righteous to you’re ways of thought
And of all the matters of your art;
Of what is righteous to your gaze.
Step of the edge
Measure the height
The abyss found inside
will make you feel very small.
Let go and as your flying
Time will favor
Your hearts labor
The purity of your art
Fantasies feed all the matters of the heart,
Of what is righteous to you’re ways of thought
And of all the matters of your art;
Of what is righteous to your gaze.
Let go, where are you gonna hide em?
Let go, where are you gonna hide em?
Let go, where are you gonna hide em?

I've started to breathe my youth, as I feel like trying.
And there's nothing much left to do when there's nothing left to hold on.
I've started to taste the truth when I feel like lying.
And there's nothing much left to do when there's nothing left to hold on.

Honey hang on 'cause times are changing
I've been all over the roof
And days are no longer wasting
Here in my room
Here in my room
It's hard to send invitations
When there's no one around
To catch the sexual vibrations
Here in my room
Here in my room
Through the years I've managed to maintain
A firm stand in what I groove
It ranges all through night and space
Don't jugde, don't mess 'cause it ain't see through
Every frown I've found I've come around
So I've become into what my friends are calling
Another reason to enjoy
And I don't care if that goes with you
I never tried to understand the reason why my taste ain't pink, it's blue
Like in a garden full of flowers I've handpiched everything so then I can choose
I just want to know
What you're missing through this no
Don't come back to me
'Cause I'm gonna be long gone
