Convicção




No cerne de todos os nossos esforços para mudar alguém reside uma fundamentação egoísta, a convicção de que, por meio dessa mudança, passaremos a ser felizes. Não existe nada errado no desejo de querer ser feliz, mas situar a fonte dessa felicidade fora de nós próprios, nas mãos de outras pessoas, significa ignorar a nossa capacidade e responsabilidade de modificar a nossa vida para melhor.

One...




Is it getting better?
Or do you feel the same?
Will it make it easier on you now?
You got someone to blame.

You say
One love
One life
When it's one need in the night.
You act like you never had love
And you want me to go without…
Have you come here for forgiveness?
Have you come to raise the dead?
Have you come here to play Jesus?
To the lepers in your head
Did I ask too much?
More than a lot.
You gave me nothing,
Now it's all I got
We're one but we're not the same
Well we hurt each other
Then we do it again

You say
Love is a temple
Love’s a higher law
You ask me to enter
But then you make me crawl
And I can't be holding on
To what you got
When all you got is hurt.

One love
One blood
One life…

blindfolded eyes



Your words echoing deep in my mind
Fearing the hurt of things to come
you dwell in the days left behind

To live or die
Wandering the strange ways of time
Life can go by in a blink of an eye
and minutes can hold you
for thousands of years
or never let go

Your search has brought you nothing but pain
Looking for light with blindfolded eyes
you only got burned by the flame
Can´t take another day


The light is gone now
once so bright
No use to fight
you will fall down
to your knees...

The light is gone now
once so bright
Crushed in the cold hands
with no meaning
beautiful things can be easily broken.

I dream of colours


Looking out from day to day

At a dirty old expanse of motorway

I dream of colours when all around is grey

I dream of colours and sunlight

There's a way i'd rather be

Than the person who pretends that she is me

I dream of colours to be what i would be

I dream of colours, inspires me

Suddenly, a shaft of light breaks through

Illuminates the room

When all around was darkened

And tender hues of light and shade

it paints a picture of an altogether brighter day

Looking out from day to day

At a dirty old expensive motorway

I dream of colours when all around is grey

I dream of colours... And sunlight

...




I look into a place i see
A little bit too much of everything
Nothing seems to touch the way i feel
And i feel so much about things
Do i have to kill my mind
To get as close to truth as i would like


I pay the system like a slave
I'm sensing shutdown all the way
I feel the force of two extremes
And all the tension in between
I pay the system like a slave
I'm sensing shutdown all the way
I feel the force of two extremes
And all the tension in between
Half in love and half in fear,
In a circle through the years

I am all extremes



I'm an angel, I'm a devil

I am sometimes in between

I'm as bad as it can get

And good as it can be

Sometimes I'm a million colours

Sometimes I'm black and white

I am all extremes

Try to figure me out you never can

There's so many things I am

I am special

I am beautiful

I am wonderful

and powerful and

Unstoppable

Sometimes I'm miserable

Sometimes I'm pitiful

But that's so typical of all the things I am

I'm someone filled with self-beliefe

I'm haunted by self-doubt

I've got all the answers

I've got nothing figured out

I like to be by myself

I hate to be alone

I'm up and I am down

But that's part of the thrill

Part of the plan

Part of all the things I am
