It will be late

"you can see when looking at the map that there is not single spot on the planet that has been untouched by human activities, and this is remarkable because it's such a vast space, and yet we got every single corner of it..." by Benjamin Halpern (Marine Biologist)
I've seen a different place as the thunder rumbled
I wasn't there but I foresaw something inside
It was like stopping time to move the falling fragments
since they have been displaced for such a long time
Through the darkness, when everything shuts down
There is a waiting sense of the coming dawn
so we're afraid of the thought of being scared
but the sunrise will uncover the real distress
Distress...
We are destroying our broken home
With blindfolds on we're going nowhere
In time we'll discover it is gone
no questions anymore, it will be late
Playing Russian roulette again and you don't see the upshot
So many dreams die, cause you don't question the price
Even this home we grew up in seems to mean nothing
In other words, you don't even value your own life
Through this darkness, I head a broken sound
our heartbeats can't survive another drastic fall
so we're afraid of the thought of being scared
will the sunrise uncover the read distress?
Distress..
We are destroying our broken home
With blindfolds on we're going nowhere
In time we'll discover it is gone
no questions anymore, it will be late

Piece of art - Doubt
05:22
|

It’s been a long time
I thought these things would never change
Everything was figured out
A clear and easy way
Avoiding details was the best
Always, ignoring their own mistakes
Light colors and layers just covered up
And I didn’t have the chance to see beyond the fray
A good and appealing piece of art
But fully superficial with nothing inside
Good interpretation and explanation of this life
Defining rules and paths but barely “the why”
Disappointed I walked away
Tired of waiting, I couldn’t stay
Not allowed to explore, but just observe
I had to grasp it anyway
After some years the painting looks fairly old
There are no chances to repaint it at all
Dreaming about a new perspective could be hard
But the hope’s still there and I shouldn’t hesitate
I looked away
I didn’t care
running away
through unawareness
dealing alone
fading away
now I can see a chance
to restore the mistake
below the surface
I’ll find myself
maybe profound
doubting will make sense

Hide in the Shallows

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

Uncertainty
04:47
|

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

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

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.
