I wish the sun could rise
on each of my bones
red and gold of the sky
lighting up the shore
air so thin
water so cold
you touch my shoulder
and I feel so bold
oh, the matter
is shaking and melting
cannot stop seeking
afraid of finding
overthrow
the walls that divide me
warm and soft
the breath of the trees
somewhere over there
there's something for me
the only way to see
is break the atmosphere
the clouds lie on the ground
I embrace the mist
now the inside is the outside
my mind is my fist
you're so distant
the see is between us
I'll drink it on the instant
my body is on a flux

The War

just a tree beyond the line
a river without a bed
fire's off there's a thread
of smoke that twist around your head
will you come and pass me by
will I blame you and ask you why
do the wisdom of the woods
endear the empathy of my foot?
You said “somewhere there's a future awaiting”,
that's when i realized it meant nothing to me.
the future is a lie that keeps being told
By liars, dreamers, quitters
and people way too young to know
reality is blurring
I'm watchin' it
through a glass
under a heavy rain
early morning
lights are still on
windows are open
a cold wind come in
you're no more here
the vacuum fill up
the space around me
i'm falling through it

The Farewell

so self-confident
so incurious and so proud
will you bother me?
will you tell me something else about you that i don't want to know?
with all your women
and all your long hair
and your black t-shirts
will you affirm yourself counting the lovers you've burned through?
your love is bigger than mine
your love is higher
you know a lots of tricks and secrets
to be the one you love the most
i bet you're sad and lonely
i bet you cry when you go home
We'll go down together
like two feathers
In the big hole
Where every man go

we got on line 28
I can still remember
the sweet creaking of the wheel on the rail
a ray of light drew an elephant on your face
there is a place where you're allowed to lose yourself
I felt like i could carry all the weight of a bridge
crossing a river, reaching lands just to let you pass
"is there something bigger than our happiness?"
you asked me when you heard that sad japanese song.
the cello and the guitar
they're changing melodies
they're just like you and me
with our roles in a comedy
set in Alfama's streets
we were in that space
between the lightning and the thunder
giving light to all the people we ran into
it took a blink of an eye
to carry all of that away
to carry me away
the cello and the guitar
they're printed in our chest
they're still playing that song
and its sad tunes
for me and you
And the miradores
the water blinded our eyes
your words, they marked me
"thank you for always being there for me"

The Place

there's something in the air I breath
makes me imagine lives I wish I could have lived
the parkway is the ocean drive
the ceiling is a northern light blue sky
the pines are nuclear rockets
the boats the biggest fishes the seas have ever seen
you haven't found the place where you belong, i know why
my dearest friend on his motorbike
an hell's angel through the desert or a champion on his horse?
I saw a girl sat on a big rock
I thought i can declare my love like in that movie by Truffaut
this life will never suit me
daydreaming hurt me more
i can't help thinking of myself behind a desk or in a bed still wondering

I keep the air inside my lungs
as much as i can
till they break down
Is it human heart that unsettles life?
that unsettles nature?
that unsettles me?
And when we die and men thoughts
won't exist anymore
we'll transcend our bodies
No god no pain no love anymore
doomed to be free
doomed to not exist
And tons of rock fall to the earth
and water too
wash away our lives away
We are the big nothing
Our summer is over
my summer is over
BILL HICKS:
The world is like a ride in an amusement park, and when you choose to go on it you think it's real because that's how powerful our minds are. The ride goes up and down, around and around, it has thrills and chills, and it's very brightly colored, and it's very loud, and it's fun for a while. Many people have been on the ride a long time, and they begin to wonder, "Hey, is this real, or is this just a ride?" And other people have remembered, and they come back to us and say, "Hey, don't worry; don't be afraid, ever, because this is just a ride." And we … kill those people. "Shut him up! I've got a lot invested in this ride, shut him up! Look at my furrows of worry, look at my big bank account, and my family. This has to be real." It's just a ride. But we always kill the good guys who try and tell us that, you ever notice that? And let the demons run amok … But it doesn't matter, because it's just a ride. And we can change it any time we want. It's only a choice. No effort, no work, no job, no savings of money. Just a simple choice, right now, between fear and love. The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your doors, buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love instead see all of us as one. Here's what we can do to change the world, right now, to a better ride. Take all that money we spend on weapons and defenses each year and instead spend it feeding and clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would pay for many times over, not one human being excluded, and we could explore space, together, both inner and outer, forever, in peace.
