lyrics and music by Teo Peralez

They say the summer days are headin' down south,
So bury my dreams down in the snow,
Big dark clouds are rollin' down the lane,
Headin' on down to Mexico,
I told her all my friends have left here,
But this '87's rollin' down the road,
I'll be walkin' out of town with a bottle in my hand,
I'm headin' on down to Mexico...

Oooh baby,
Don't you fret, now don't you cry,
Lord knows I love you though I ain't around,
And I know just the reason...

Baby, take me to the station,
That cold north wind's startin' to blow,
I've got to take my troubles, gots to get outta town,
I'm headin' on down to Mexico,
Baby, don't ask why I'm leaving,
'Cause they say you can't see what you don't know,
Selective Service letter came in the mail today,
Now I'm headin' on down to Mexico...

Oooh baby,
Don't you fret, now don't you cry,
Lord knows I love you though I ain't around,
And I know just the reason...

Rain clouds are pourin' on the windshield,
Fuel tank's ready to explode,
Let them all pay as the others show the way,
I'm headin' on down to Mexico,
Now, my momma says that Jesus comin',
But I picked up a tip in San Antone,
You can always find your savior during death-drafts and wars,
Just get headin' on down to Mexico...

Oooh baby,
Don't you fret, now don't you cry,
Lord knows I love you though I ain't around,
And I know just the reason...

lyrics and music by Teo Peralez

It's sorry days we fall upon,
That bring poor men to dust,
They fade into gray,
Following our falling stars,
Perceptions clear as life,
We fade into gray,
But I can't think about the days of memories,
With my eyes above the ground,
Three hundred days have not erased my lies,
Or my memories of you...

We're like burning candles and falling stars,
We never hold the light,
As we fade into gray,
Fighting off our hate and guilt with tears,
So far behind,
We fade into gray,
But can't you hear my muffled screams aloud?
A lonely child pressed against the glass,
Just crying out for God or man to give me anything for my lies,
And my memories of you...

I pray this God can save the souls of men,
Those he crushes in the dirt,
As they fade into gray,
These flames are burning in my heart,
They're too alive to breathe,
As I fade into gray,
But can't you see the ways I'm trying now?
Struggling to rise above regret,
I feel the Four Winds coming by me now to take my lies,
And my memories of you....

lyrics and music by Teo Peralez

I went out to find myself,
I took along a friend,
One I thought I could trust,
Until the day I died,
But then one stormy night,
I woke up to find,
That you'd left me alone,
On this barren plain...

This is my last goodbye,
I'll never let anyone inside,
I'll live without any friends,
So goodbye won't hurt again...

One hundred days I searched for you,
You're nowhere to be found,
And no matter how hard I try,
I can't change,
I walked to the nearest town,
I searched every house,
Just to find,
That no one was there...

This is my last goodbye,
I'll never let anyone inside,
I'll live without any friends,
So goodbye won't hurt again...

"I'll never wait for you,
You'll never see me cry..."

lyrics and music by Teo Peralez

I'm really fucking sick of acting like I'm lonely,
Like I'm the only one who's sitting here alone,
With a girl on the phone,
I've gotta let it go...

Because I'm dreaming of nothing,
I'm dreaming of dreams,
and I'm dreaming of spending the rest of my life feeling alone...

I'm really fucking sick of being sick of life,
It's all alright, because when I'm lonely some lonely night,
I'll call a number, I'll call that girl,
I'll ask her to be my girl, and never feel lonely again...

For now I'm dreaming of nothing,
I'm dreaming of dreams,
and I'm dreaming of spending the rest of my life feeling alone...

lyrics and music by Teo Peralez

So what the hell are you doing here?
Why do all these people stare?
I know exactly what they'll say,
I'm sitting here alone,
And I don't care...

There's gentlemen in ladies rooms,
I'm not sure what this means to you,
Alone, alone, alone,
Because you're sitting there alone,
And I don't care...

As common decency declines,
These morals talk in mother's eyes,
While in your midst I walk about,
A sinner speaks to me,
And I don't care...

The foolish lie and faithful creep,
To shallow walls where dead loves weep,
I rise above my only friend,
I've enemies to keep,
And I don't care...

lyrics and music by Teo Peralez

In your eyes,
In your pain,
In your memories and dreams,
Everything you see,
Will turn to gray...

Shattered on the floor,
Through silhouettes of war,
Hopeless, evermore,
Your thoughts of peace,
Carved upon your face,
And written in ever page,
Time will not erase,
A heart of stone...

In your eyes,
In your pain,
In your memories and dreams,
Everything you see,
Will turn to gray...

Buried in the snow,
Of this nuclear episode,
Every love you know,
Must go, go, go...

In your eyes,
In your pain,
In your memories and dreams,
Everything you see,
Will turn to gray...

lyrics and music by Teo Peralez

Sifting through,
The endless memories and waste,
Upon the floor,
A trace of absinthe in its wake...

And I know,
Just what it takes to live through these tears,
And I know your pain...

Sifting through,
Sifting through you...

I've felt you pain,
Stained memories do not erase,
I cannot say,
Just how I got from that place...

And I know,
Just what it take to live through these years,
And I know your rage...

Can't you see,
What you'd mean to me, girl?
You're beautiful to me...

Sifting through,
Sifting through you...

lyrics and music by Teo Peralez

These clouds drift slow above me,
In this run-down, lovesick town,
And summer is in the air,
And summer winds go playing through my mind,
As we fade,
For under moonlit skies I wished we'd never part,
As the eerie glow of streetlamps,
Reveals the ghosts.
Of a life before...

The tranquil waters and rustling trees are but memories,
For my eyes,
And everybody leaves,
They all take flight,
Or end up on the ground...

For I will always miss the oldest friends,
The memories of those times that I bear as a scar
On the wrist of my left hand...
My heart is sideways as I wear it blindly on my right,
There with the hand that writes as poorly as it sees,
As it were blinded by a memory of you...

It's when you reach your ending,
That the only things you'll know,
They say, "Loneliness was golden,
And smiles all too plain",
While lying under bloodstained sheets,

But with teardrops down my face,
The comets flash above me,
The earth is set ablaze,
And with the last ounce of my strength,
I try so hard to see you...

lyrics and music by Teo Peralez

Would you be a man,
Or could you be something true?
There's an idiot,
Living down inside of you,
The teachings that they preach,
Are lies ages old,
Meant to make you fight and die,
So choose your gun...

Atomic bombs are bursting,
Deep inside our heads,
For as a man you're better off,
In a grave than with the dead,
Storms go raging past me,
While mounted preachers speak,
From pedestals of lies,
So choose your gun...

Opinions of the masses,
Like masters drive our wars,
Nothing's sacred,
As we kill them all instead,
The wars inside our heads,
Are acted through our words,
Lies lead to wars,
So choose your gun...

lyrics and music by Teo Peralez

I tread this path of silent pain,
Living in fake smiles,
And sleeping only in moonlit rooms,
I'd rather not say that I regret...

I don't understand the way,
And I just want to go,
It's so hard to understand the way I think,
Do you want to know how I make it through the week?
They're empty words...

It is not without pain that I come and look for you,
Searching high and low on mountain streets,
1,000 miles from home,
But you weren't there,
You were in the past that hurts me so,
Now won't you help me make this last?

'Cause I just want to see your face,
And I want you to want me too,
Because I am so afraid,
I wish that you could let me know how to make it through today,
On empty words...

I feel like I can breathe when I'm with you.
You bring me the first peace that I've felt in years,
Still I can't help wondering,
If I'm the only one,
Or if you feel this way...

Now I still don't know my way,
But I thought I saw it in you,
Sometimes I feel like I'm making a mistake,
I can't be the way you want me to,
To want me too,
You want me to feel what I can't...

lyrics and music by Teo Peralez

I know you say that summer days are ending,
I know you say that my fall will soon begin,
I know you say that all the stars are shining in the sky,
And they aren't going to let me in,
I know you say that all my truths are lies,
I know you say that only freedom could be true,
I know you say that I should swear away my soul and die,
For that deadly freedom close to you...

But I know that I am not the reason,
And I hold this to be true,
Though a gun could kill a man and his wishes,
It could never kill my thoughts of you...

I know you say that you have never met me,
I know you say that dignity is in your wing,
I know you say that so long as I live just for a life,
That my life will never mean anything,
I know you say that I am just pretending,
I know you say that my eyes have been held shut,
I know you say that I could never know anything,
So long as I trust only in my gut...

But I just want you to know that I...
I hold this to be true,
Though a gun could kill a man and his wishes,
It could never kill my thoughts of you...

I know that I have made mistakes,
And I know you'll see it through,
Though a gun could kill a man and his wishes,
It could never kill my thoughts of you...

It could never kill my thoughts of you...

lyrics and music by Teo Peralez

I'm sitting here eating cold french fries,
Sipping on a watered-down coke,
I ask myself, "What have I become?"
The answer might be lost to me now,
But time will prove that this shit is getting old...

And colder still are the eyes,
I place to block out the lights,
Of life around me,
I know...

But am I lost, stupid or insane?
Because everyday the answer kills me,
Or could it be that I've lost my will,
To nothing but the breeze?

It's been so long since I've felt,
The touch of sunlight on my cheeks,
So gentle,
I know...

The last time I saw you,
We were running across this grassy plain,
Toward paradise, where sorrows grow,
There's nothing good in this,
Only pain in dreams,
Lies turn into words,
As you give everything you thought you had,
Just don't lose your soul,
It's been so long,
We've been so dead,
As we come to find the things we know,
They're nothing compared
To what we lose...

And colder still are the eyes,
I place to block out the lights,
Of life around me,
I know...

lyrics and music by Teo Peralez

You know,
It's hard to be a little stoner boy
Who quit smoking some time ago,
I moved from Lincoln to Nowhere, Colorado,
To a town without punk shows,
I think I'm losing my mind,
Walking the streets at midnight,
Just to pass some time...
I need a van from the 70's,
And a cute, punk girl with ADD,
A guitar with four strings,
And enough gas,
To drive to Key West, Florida,
Where the girls really suck,
And you can't find anything to do...

I went back home,
500 miles away,
Doing 85,
Just to find that everything I remembered,
Had sold out or died,
I forgot how flat this place is,
It sucks now-a-days,
I'm going back to that Colorado town,
But not changing my ways...

I need a van from the 70's,
And a cute, punk girl with ADD,
A guitar with four strings,
And enough gas, To drive to Key West, Florida,
Where the girls really suck,
And you can't find anything to do...

lyrics and music by Teo Peralez

Last night I had a dream,
That I was sitting in your room,
Staring at your wall and thinking of you,
And for a moment, I thought I knew you,
I woke up and wished that it were true...

Yesterday I called you,
I had so many things to say,
To an old friend, a friendly,
"Are you doing okay?"
You asked what was on my mind,
And screaming inside,
I told you that nothing's wrong...

But it's Friday night and I'm sitting at home,
She smiles as if she cares,
A year ans a half gone,
And I just want to quit lying to myself...

Old friends are like strangers,
You never can quite find the words to say,
"I feel like I haven't seen you in a lifetime,
Are you doing okay?
Because I really miss you,
And I've had you on my mind..."

When we met,
I was blind,
When you left,
I opened my eyes,
And after three months without you,
I wish I was...

Last night I had a dream,
That I was sitting in your room,
And for a moment, I thought I knew you,
I woke up and wished that it were true...

When we met,
I was blind,
When you left,
I opened my eyes,
And after three months without you,
I wish I was...

lyrics and music by Teo Peralez

When summer skies are empty,
Memories are our dreams,
When cold air stands above me,
How can I rise above my means,
The past was full of promises,
Faith and memories,

But everything else,
Is in between,
But everything else,
Is in between,
But everything else,
Is in between...

As weary days of innocence,
And as memories pass on,
I've never really known myself,
Just known how I was wrong,
On the one hand I've got Jesus,
But Satan's on the other side,

And God is somewhere else,
Stuck in between,
But God is somewhere else,
Stuck in between,
Now God is somewhere else,
Stuck in between...

Drowning in these solemn thoughts,
The memories fade at dawn,
I've been seeking all I'm not,
A dream to carry on,
I've been looking for myself,
Been searching high and low,

But the truth is somewhere else,
Stuck in between,
The truth is somewhere else,
Just in between,
Truth is nowhere else,
But in between...

lyrics and music by Teo Peralez

Speak to me my friend,
Tell me of your land and your country,
And tell me how you live,
Dying to be free...

You are your own savior,
Can't you see?
Hear the words of Jesus of Laredo...

Corruption ruled the land,
Down there where the people have no money,
Slaving through their days,
To survive in poverty,
But Jesus had a plan,
He stole a horse and road on through the country,
With freedom on his lips,
Rebellion on his mind...

"You are your own savior,
Can't you see?"
Hear the words of Jesus of Laredo...

Peasants gathered round,
He marched them through the heat into the city,
He went to the UN,
To demand true liberty,
The U.S. butted in,
Giving guns to the army of opressors,
Claiming, "Mexico is free,
For they have democracy!"

"You are your own savior,
Can't you see?"
Hear the words of Jesus of Laredo...

Surrounded and alone,
The emptiness echoed for their freedom,
As the army gunned them down,
For corrupt democracy,
They shot old Jesus down,
They shot my savior down,
Tell me,
How we,
Can be so blind,
That we,
Don't mind,
Tyrrany,
So long as it looks like democracy...

lyrics and music by Teo Peralez

It's just one of those days when the whole world's out to get you,
No matter what you do or say,
The problems never really go away,
So You put on a stupid smile and go about your life...

It's just one of those days when it seems like the world doesn't care,
whether you're there or not,
Just waste away the hours smoking pot,
So I can put on a stupid smile and go about my life...

Summer always makes me think of a million days,
A million ways to pass the time alone,
Summer always makes me think of that perfect girl,
With raddy clothes,
One you could take everywhere I go,
And at the end of the night,
I could take her home...

lyrics and music by Teo Peralez

Summer rains don't hit me like they used to,
I cannot feel that way anymore,
As you lie asleep I sit and stare at you,
Can I really feel this way again?

Sometimes it's hard to think,
Sometimes I must remind myself to breathe,
I could suffocate on your beauty,
And I could look into your eyes,
And never spend another day bored,
Or lonely...

I try to think, I try to feel the way you want me to,
I try to look into myself,
This never needed to be said to anyone but me,
I need this more than ever,
I just need you more right now...

lyrics and music by Teo Peralez

My words can fly like stones,
But deaf ears are like bricks,
The deaf ears are alone, empty,
These eyes can hate to tears,
With hands they're meant to kill,
There ain't nothing left to do 'round here,
So I'm going on my own...

I'm gazing like a stone,
With murder across my chest,
And sadness in my home, they leave me,
Like bloody hands in pairs,
In lands where tears are empty,
Can't hide without the years,
So I'm going on my own...

These words will fall like time,
As nothing to these ears,
We've all such shallow minds, in plenty,
For it's easier to tread,
When beliefs are so shallow,
That they're only in your head,
So I'm going on my own...

lyrics and music by Teo Peralez

I am not a man of God,
I see my soul through a Sunday mirror,
To be one is to be alone,
A thousand Words couldn't make much clearer,
That I am not one of those Words,
But I am part of the lie that guides you,
I have nothing in this world,
But I've a soul and a thought that's true...

So take all your lies,
Get off my doorstep,
Take all your words,
And take them without me,
I am not one to give up my soul,
To someone who doesn't even know their own...

I am not a man of God,
Not a man with a heart so empty,
The Words are lies to those who die,
For understanding words you cannot be,
I am the breath of a train,
I rise above this endless daydream,
Stupid thoughts and stupid men,
Are the only ones around it seems...

So take all your lies,
Get off my doorstep,
Take all your words,
And take them without me,
I am not one to give up my soul,
To someone who doesn't even know their own...

I am not a man of God,
For he was killed by those who believe me,
They all wonder where I go,
And why the promise, it seemed so free,
But to those who understand,
Your Hell is the world around you,
Suffering is the way of man,
One more time and they'll get what they deserve...

lyrics and music by Teo Peralez

I want something,
There's someone,
I used to call my own,
But if you could see through me,
Like everyone else can,
Would you stay?
And will anything change?
Maybe so, maybe so,
But every day I keep on going,
I'm losing my direction,
At every turn...

And what am I now?
But another lost Nebraska soul?

I want something,
Maybe this time it will last,
But when I look into your eyes,
All I see,
Is what you've left behind,
Am I so easily discarded,
Like your soul?
Because I don't know who I am...

And what am I now,
But another lost Nebraska soul?

lyrics and music by Teo Peralez

I went down to New Orleans,
To look for something real,
I used to have a home,
And I used to live,
But then I looked outside,
And then I looked in me,
Then I looked at you,
And I watched you go,
Six feet under...

We sat on the roof for a week,
Tired, lonely, not white,
They all pass by,
Won't you come and rescue me?
Because I thought I had a friend,
He said his name was George,
He's with the government,
That left me to die,
Six feet under...

I used to have a home,
But now the fishes swim,
They're in my living room,
And I'm as good as dead,
Six feet under...

lyrics and music by Teo Peralez

He walked on out of town,
With the silence in his way,
Whispering to himself,
Where he'd been,
Everything he'd ever known,
Had come and gone at last,
Bound to the road,
They say his life was perfect,
As any eye could see,
They say that once she loved him,
Maybe...

He said, "I'm going way out west,
Where the memories haunt the sky,
Out beyond the voices,
Lying in the trees,
For you..."

They say some men are slaves,
To the shadows in the night,
And doomed to dream,
Through the day,
Echoing the sanity,
That rumbles in their mind,
If you know how to see,
Walking on that lonely road,
On a cold December night,
Rays of stars,
Shooting down...

He said, "I'm going way out west,
Where the memories haunt the sky,
Out beyond the voices,
Lying in the trees,
For you..."

He said, "I'm going way out west,
Running through the night,
Far beyond the voices,
Far beyond the trees,
For you..."

lyrics and music by Teo Peralez

She said, "You'd best take off your glasses
And have a look outside,
It's a sorry place our neighborhood's become,
It only takes one look to see
How rental checks unwind,
Noisy cars and neighbors face us here..."

"And it's grey clouds on our shoulders,
It's only painted blue beyond..."

I answered back, "My dearset love,
It's not all that well,
This atmosphere of preference will lead us all,
But while the ocean's filled with sorrows
To those who're by the sea,
Still it's more or ess a wonder to me..."

"There may be grey clouds on my shoulders,
At least it's painted blue beyond..."

lyrics and music by Teo Peralez

Walking through the days,
On the path they call redemption,
I cannot say,
That I've been,
Alone,
Words go floating by,
The sun's hiding behind a galling wind,
I cannot try,
Not to see you,
Anymore...

Melodies in chords,
Mirror expressions of opinion,
Evermore,
I'm forcing out,
Boundless inner truth,
Some hearts hide in lies,
while others hide their demons,
But in mine,
Just an angel,
Severed and unknown...

lyircs and music by Teo Peralez

Reached the end
Of this road of isolation,
I looked back,
You're nowhere to be found,
I keep on moving
Though I've lost my destination,
But keep track
Of mistakes I've left behind...

For in the end,
The past is my enemy,
But I'll think about that
When I find my way...

Silent nights
And storms rage ahead,
I look down
Never to return,
A whisper to myself,
"They'll all know I'm dead..."
With a frown
As I walk into the room...

For in the end,
The past is my enemy,
But I'll think about that
When I find my way...

This silence is screaming in my ears,
I wake up in a cold sweat,
To a dark sky and my greatest fears,
The moonlight blinds my eyes...

I smile
As I reach the top of the mountain,
I look up,
Then fall back to the ground,
To see something
Like an angel, countin'
Made up,
Mistakes that I've made...
For in the end,
The past is my enemy,
But I'll think about that
When I find my way...

This silence is screaming in my ears,
I wake up in a cold sweat,
To a dark sky and my greatest fears,
The moonlight blinds my eyes...

lyrics and music by Teo Peralez

The iron grey that floods my sky,
Stone walls to the west,
The empty jars that hold my dreams,
They cannot keep me,
They cannot hold me here,
No, no, no, no, no...

Please avert your eyes,
They've lies inside their faces,
Any fool who tries,
Will be told,
There's nothing true to see,
So let it be as empty as a dream...

We're struggling to stay afloat,
Searching for our dreams,
Strangers form their devil cults,
But we're still waiting,
For reasons to believe,
Open up the doors...

Please avert your eyes,
To the lies inside their faces,
Any fool who tries,
Will be told,
There's nothing true to see,
So let it be as empty as a dream...

lyrics and music by Teo Peralez

Staring at the ceiling,
These walls are closing in,
And sometimes I just don't know if I can make it through the day,
Sometimes when I sit here,
I'm feeling so alone,
Maybe I'm just trying to go without crying, on again...

But I can see it in her eyes,
That we might be too close,
Too much for me to realize,
That we just aren't that way,
And when I'm thinking of you,
And you're not here with me,
Just keep me in your heart,
Because I've got you in mine...

Staring at the ceiling,
The walls are closing in,
And sometimes I just don't know if we're here at all,
You know that I'm searching,
For that place to call my own,
But out here on this empty plain, it's all so pointless,
Might as well grow old...

But I can see it in her eyes,
That we might be too close,
Too much for me to realize,
That we just aren't that way,
And when I'm thinking of you,
And you're not here with me,
Just keep me in your heart,
Because I've got you in mine...

Now I'm staring out my window,
Just waiting for your call,
I'm staring at the ceiling,
These stars will make me see,
But remember if you're crying,
That I'm always here,
I'm not like every other guy you'll ever meet because...

I can see it in her eyes,
That we might be too close,
Too much for me to realize,
That we just aren't that way,
And when I'm thinking of you,
And you're not here with me,
Just keep me in your heart,
Because I've got you in mine....

lyrics and music by Teo Peralez

Sunny days only serve to make me blue,
It's got nothing to do with you,
I don't mind seeing you from time to time,
Really, I don't mind...

Because I don't know you anymore...

The smiles only serve to cloud my mind,
But I don't mind,
Because I know that you don't care,
Whether or not you're there, you don't care about me...

And I don't know you anymore...

Maybe it's all in my mind,
Or maybe there's something left to find in this heart of mine,
Maybe it's not a day too late,
Maybe there's something left to say...

But I don't know you anymore...

lyrics and music by Teo Peralez

Are you truly so blind without your pain?
That everything that goes must go against you,
That everyone you know is hiding their face,
Let me save you from yourself,
Let go of all you gods and demons,
Of envy in your heart,
The emptiness inside,
And fill that space with my love,

You'll see that you're beautiful inside,
No matter what they say,
Maybe someday you'll find,
That everything you need in this life,
Is waiting there,
Inside...

lyrics and music by Teo Peralez

I can see it in her eyes,
A smile like days lost and long gone by,
I wish you'd smile more,
You make me feel much brighter with your warmth,
But your radiance is dulled by sleeping eyes,
This happiness lost to the blue skies,
I'm so many feet above the ground that I'm wishing,
That I could make all these clouds go away...

You wouldn't understand how I could be lost and dazzled,
By eyes like yours,
But I'm content,
To see them from far away,
A whole six feet between us,
And not much else to stop me,
But my boyish fears to say anything to you...

These mountains are much prettier,
When they aren't distorted by the way we soar above the heavens,
But for now, I'll settle for you,
Because brown girl eyes, like autumn leaves,
They captivate an leave me wondering,
Guess I'm just a stupid boy...

You wouldn't understand how I could be lost and dazzled,
By eyes like yours,
But I'm content,
To see them from far away,
A whole six feet between us,
And not much else to stop me,
But my boyish fears to say anything to you...

If you could see,
Or know that I'm here waiting,
Patiently for you,
Or if you could know,
That I'm still here,
Dreaming just of you,
You wouldn't understand how I could be lost and dazzled,
By eyes like yours,
But I'm content...

lyrics and music by Teo Peralez

Could you look me in the eye,
And tell me what you see?
The more I try,
The more you seem to fall away,
I cannot see your face
From where you leave me now,
I'm in this place
Alone...

Tell me why am I
The only one whose trying now,
Can't you see how I want this to be?
And tell me why
I'm crying now
Lying on the floor without you near...

I still remember when
We ruled this whole damn town,
Staying out all night,
Listening only to ourselves,
My how times have changed,
Like memories, they fade,
Now I'm stuck
Alone...

So tell me why am I
The only one whose trying now,
Can't you see how I want this to be?
And tell me why
I'm crying now
Lying on the floor without you near...

lyrics and music by Teo Peralez

It doesn't matter what I say,
It only matters what you see,
Blinded in your eyes,
Blinded by your greed,
Drowning in the solitude,
Of what you choose to be,
You're guilty in your lies,
So tell me,

Why can't you see,
What happens to me,
Kills you,
Drowning in yourself,
Drowning in your cell,
Until the dead men go to waste,
To save yourself for tomorrow...

It doesn't matter what I make,
It only matters what you keep,
Blinded in your eyes,
Blinded by your greed,
Taking money from our homes,
To feed a sick machine,
Your castle is your wealth,
But tell me,

Why can't you see,
What happens to me,
Kills you,
Drowning in yourself,
Drowning in your cell,
Until your dead men go to waste,
To save yourself until tomorrow...

It doesn't matter what you say,
It only matters what we speak,
Blinded in your eyes,
Blinded by your greed...

lyrics and music by Teo Peralez

I always find myself,
Falling into you,
Sorrow upon these hands,
Tell me what I need,
I don't care if it's true,
Just speak through me again,
I've been searching,
For lightning in the way,
The lines strike through me,
But everything I am,
It's nothing new to say,
Why can't you see?

I'm not the same,
I'm not the same,
Tell me what you see,
'Cause everything's so silent now,
Take me away from here...

As I've been waking,
A blind man in the darkness,
The past is all I've known,
All the world I've seen,
Has left me feeling hopeless,
Just wish it'd all be gone,
Like shadows dancing,
Like silence on the wind,
Piercing through my soul,
All the tales I tell,
Have nowhere to begin,
This emptiness is full,

I'm not the same,
I'm not the same,
Tell me what you see,
'Cause everything's so silent now,
Take me away from here...

'Cause I know,
That you're still with me,
And I know,
I only have myself to blame,
And I know,
That we're still waiting...

I'm not the same,
I'm not the same,
Tell me what you see,
'Cause everything's so silent now,
Take me away from here...
