"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

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

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

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

about

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.
