It’s too late, yeah, that’s what they would say
It’s right there! Can’t you see it fade away?
Through this pain, my feelings have turned so gray
To dissipate these fears will take me far away
Sometimes I wish I could wait
for something better to say
Giving my illusion away,
facing reality and embracing the pain
Dusty road, to somewhere else
My soul, guess what!?, is grieving once again
Is it a cycle or a dead end?
Tell me where to go ‘cause I don’t know what’s next
Holding back, it seems, that is what makes me survive
even for you, when you were barely alive
You might think I haven’t moved, but I have
and you’ll see my grief was not a burial site

Una pincelada trascendiendo lo real
un momento en el tiempo que se quedará
opacando la rutina, otra realidad
este asombro no lo puedo olvidar
La brisa en mi rostro, la quietud en mi pensar
compaginar, equilibrar, desafiando lo habitual
mira alrededor se nos habla sin cesar
sin embargo no nos gusta escuchar
la naturaleza nos refleja algo más
somos tan frágiles, no hay razón de cuestionar
Quiero entender el pasado de la humanidad
generaciones que pudieron apreciar
lo imponente, lo que no fue fácil de explicar
con solo percibir fue posible vislumbrar
Atrapado en medio de la modernización
abandonas tiempos para reflexión,
pero desconectándote de esta distracción
¿será que si apreciarás la creación?

I dream about this place, but it's just far away
I couldn't pretend but be myself
I couldn't hide, I couldn't hide
I couldn't hide, anywhere
Wanting to escape, I couldn't look away
an uneasy answer then or a paradox instead?
Why are these appearances leading us astray?
Hiding in the shallow realm of avoiding to fail
Can you hide? Could you hide?
Would you hide somewhere?
Wanting to escape I couldn't look away
but indeed I failed just like anybody else
Escaping out of this gray mist is my plea
Why can I not just be free?
What if I hide in the shallow mist, why not beneath?
It's still a haze of disbelief

No será igual

Un padre en su cuarto llorando por su hijo, ya no está
Su ex esposa sola, trata de reanimarse sin saber que pasará
Su hijo y sin amigos, abatido en el silencio de su soledad
¿Por qué ya no están? Se han ido y no se si volverán
Tan solo mirar a atrás, presiento que no será igual
¿Cómo confrontaré esta soledad?
En medio del silencio, fingiendo que me escucha, que fácil es disimular
Cuestionar o asimilar, que en medio de promesas, yo no puedo ya confiar
me he quedado solo y ¿quién está a mi lado?, la angustia me acompañará
No puede ser, ¿que va a pasar? ¿será que así se quedará?
que fácil ver y recordar del buen pasado, más seguir igual
La soledad me encontró, ¿será que solo me dejé engañar?
Que pasará si escapo hoy, talvez conoceré alguien como yo

Crossing paths simply started it, I remember that day
As I go to every detail, I can recall all of them
As the time quickly goes by, I can trust you a little more
Take a breath and I wonder why, you're still here, I'm not gone
Love, maybe words can define
what it is,
but it's still a lost question mark
So what, it might be hard to find
but we build over brokenness to keep it alive
I disclose my insecurities, don't misjudge my broken words
In distrust or real honesty, I'm still looking for a cure
The horizon is way ahead but I still see the sun
and those fears that were once unsaid become wounds we’ll heal from
As I bring my story, you will also tell me yours
Oh my dear, we'll learn together a new meaning for love

El pasado me confunde
03:32
|

|
No he podido ver aquel amanecer
que es lo que me pasa, pregunto ¿por qué?
cuando volveré, a sentir lo que sentí
¿será que siempre hay algo más que descubrir?
El pasado me confunde y me hace preguntar
¿Será verdad o cuánto durará este viaje y su final?
Si pienso en traer algo del ayer
Muchas veces fallo, estoy contradiciéndome
Talvez por esperar que siempre sea igual
No es justo y me decepciono una vez más
El pasado me confunde y me hace preguntar
¿Será verdad o cuánto durará este viaje y su final?
¿Que será hoy y que será al no pensar en años atrás?
¿Por qué no esperar que sea mejor? Muchos dicen que lo mismo pasará
El hecho de creer en algo mejor para muchos no es algo habitual
¿Por qué no crear? ¿o simplemente soñar? para dar un paso más

Uncertainty
04:38
|

I need a reason to believe, don’t tell me it’s not OK
Looking back, I was naive, oh maybe just displaced
Mirrors are around me now, I can introspect myself
what a different type of thought, conciliation or regret
I can’t say goodbye, while I’m still holding the past
I’ll fight my mind to find the peace deep inside
In that day, maybe I won’t be OK
but I will rest, as I see this battle clearing my way
Will there be something to explain why things turned out this way?
I’m not sure but I crave for these clouds to go away
to reconcile this cloudiness that keeps me captive still today
Uncertainty, what a paradox in here!
Can I flee from it?
Will this maze be a good reason to believe?
Accepting to live with it

¿Por qué no soy el mismo en el pasar de los años?
¿Por qué no pretender ser algo que si soy?
¿Por qué no aceptar que talvez cambiamos?
¿Por qué no apreciar tanto el ayer como hoy?
Cuando era niño no tenía la mínima idea
Ya de joven sin embargo las ideas fueron confusión
Fue cuestión de tiempo ya después siendo lo que sea
Y terminar reconociendo que el cambio prevaleció
Es tan difícil de entender cómo funcionan las estaciones
Hasta que experimentamos una y la otra ya pasó
En suspensión nos deja el cambio y sin muchas conclusiones
Y las preguntas se acumulan sin razón
¿Por qué no soy el mismo en el pasar de los años?
¿Por qué no pretender ser algo que si soy?
Que confuso ver atrás y cuestionar lo que fui
Por mucho tiempo algo creí, lo demás no me importó
Las personas alrededor me influenciaban a ser así
Pero igual siempre dudé y no sabía si era lo mejor

There's a light
03:44
|
|||
|
A man is wandering on lonely streets
He is trying to make sense out of his grief
Deception is unfamiliar to him
He’s got to move on as he embraces it
Left behind a lady is in her sleep
She stopped walking alongside him
No indication of continuing
He left her there as she fell asleep
Dreams were just not like they were before
Confusion turned them like unbearable stones
Heavy enough he just can’t carry them on
He let go by walking alone
This journey shapes his identity
Old folks and new friends bring some clarity
Though he refuses to believe in it
Some hope comes out, a new chapter begins
Then he must walk through a dark tunnel not so fast
Perplexity will just be broken, broken apart
The pain is imminent as he cries out loud
But there’s a light waiting for him not so far
A man is wandering on lonely streets
He is trying to make sense out of his grief
Assimilating deception as part of him
Including himself with many just like him

Look beyond
05:15
|
|||
|
Deep down, a long walk through a ghost town
Deep down, diving further and you're still gone
You look back, it's very dark
one flash black it's fair enough
to bring the sorrow all around
Going back wakes up your thoughts
and you still wonder whether love
moves your heart, feeds your soul
Time never seems to die
But time goes by around here
Why don't you stop for a while
and look beyond the tragedy?
Coming out, you can see a distant light
Coming out, you reconsider to survive
Look ahead, it's not the same
another chapter on your way
Maybe it shouldn't be a shame
rebuild in time, redeem the pain
you wonder how, it's not too late
Your story goes along the way
When you look at...at your scars,
they will let you clearly see
how this chapter went so fast
you can look back peacefully
When you look at...at your scars,
they will let you clearly see
how you made it all this far
You can now sleep in peace

Hide in the Shallows Kansas City, Missouri
I had my first guitar when I was 15. In my early twenties I played for two rock bands in Costa Rica (Almagrisley & Razon
Dxistir), where I am from. I moved to Kansas City in 2005 and since then I've been writing my own songs.
