Igual a Ti

Igual a Ti

Compreende

Que não existe diferença

Entre nós mortais

Atirados a jogos banais

No rumo da conversa

Vil e perversa

O sofrimento é igual

O amor trivial

E eu sou igual a ti

Não importa o lugar

Não importa o tempo

Tudo o que somos

É dor e sentimento

Ref.

Na morte, na vida

Inteira, perdida

Manchada, esquecida

Eu sou igual a ti

No frio, no escuro

Ébrio, impuro

Suave ou duro

Eu sou igual a ti

De joelhos na calçada

De noite, de madrugada

Eu sou igual a ti

No espelho da derrota

No segredo da batota

Eu sou igual a ti

E tu és igual a mim

Compreende

O nosso caminho é semelhante

Caímos, choramos

E seguimos adiante

Com erros, críticas

Paixões míticas

O engano é igual

A salvação irreal

E eu sou igual a ti

Não importa a história

Não importa a razão

Tudo o que somos

É mente e coração

Ref.

Na morte, na vida

Inteira, perdida

Manchada, esquecida

Eu sou igual a ti

No frio, no escuro

Ébrio, impuro

Suave ou duro

Eu sou igual a ti

De joelhos na calçada

De noite, de madrugada

Eu sou igual a ti

No espelho da derrota

No segredo da batota

Eu sou igual a ti

E tu és igual a mim

Não importa o lugar

Não importa o tempo

Tudo o que somos

É dor e sentimento

Não importa a história

Não importa a razão

Tudo o que somos

É mente e coração

Ref.

Na morte, na vida

Inteira, perdida

Manchada, esquecida

Eu sou igual a ti

No frio, no escuro

Ébrio, impuro

Suave ou duro

De noite, de madrugada

Eu sou igual a ti

Não importa o lugar

Não importa o tempo

Mad Dream

Mad Dream

Tonight I had a dream

Then I woke up to nightmare

I dreamed that utopia

That everyone share

The reality scared me out

So much blood and death

So less green to take a breath

Ref.

What if we could have

Peace on earth and everything

What if we could be

Kind and tender

Do you see?

What if there is no war

No starving and killing

No end and beginning

Wouldn’t that be a dream?

Wouldn’t that be a dream?

Tonight I felt ashamed

About all the we destroyed

We turn nature into ashes

And our life is full of crashes

This reality makes me cry

So many diseases and violence

Silence our heart’s cadence

Ref.

What if we could have

Peace on earth and everything

What if we could be

Kind and tender

Do you see?

What if there is no war

No starving and killing

No end and beginning

Wouldn’t that be a dream?

Wouldn’t that be a dream?

Tonight I had a dream

A mad dream that everyone share

Then I woke up to the real nightmare

Ref.

What if we could have

Peace on earth and everything

(Tonight I had a dream)

What if we could be

Kind and tender

Do you see?

(A mad dream that everyone share)

What if there is no war

No starving and killing

No end and beginning

(Then I woke up to the real nightmare)

Tonight I had a dream

A mad dream that everyone share

Then I woke up to the real nightmare

Ref.

What if we could have

Peace on earth and everything

What if we could be

Kind and tender

Do you see?

What if there is no war

No starving and killing

No end and beginning

Wouldn’t that be a dream?

Wouldn’t that be a dream?

Wouldn’t that be a mad dream?

Wouldn’t that be a mad dream?

Chagas

Chagas

Hoje

Os lençóis são ásperos

As feridas não saram

O silêncio é gelado

No meu grito calado

A noite cai-me aos pés

E a janela fechada

P’ra esconder a vergonha

História manchada

De uma existência maculada

Pré-Ref.

São profundos demais

Os cortes na minha pele

São profundos demais

As chagas na minha alma

São profundas demais

Ref.

É profundo demais

O engano de ser

Tudo aquilo que sonhámos

E o que não concretizámos

É profundo demais

A mentira que construímos

Para cobrir as feridas

Pelas nossas mãos infligidas

São profundas demais

As chagas da vida

Esta vida

Hoje

O álcool derrama no chão

Os pensos colam-se em vão

São ligaduras sujas

Mortalhas impuras

O novo dia que nasce

É luz sobre a derrota

Vendemo-nos e perdemo-nos

Que amarga desilusão

Esperar que pare o coração

Pré-Ref.

São profundos demais

Os cortes na minha pele

São profundos demais

As chagas na minha alma

São profundas demais

Ref.

É profundo demais

O engano de ser

Tudo aquilo que sonhámos

E o que não concretizámos

É profundo demais

A mentira que construímos

Para cobrir as feridas

Pelas nossas mãos infligidas

São profundas demais

As chagas da vida

Esta vida

E tudo o que desejamos

Era vencer

Mas tudo o que obtemos

Foram chagas

Tudo o que obtemos

Foram chagas

Ref.

É profundo demais

O engano de ser

Tudo aquilo que sonhámos

E o que não concretizámos

É profundo demais

A mentira que construímos

Para cobrir as feridas

Pelas nossas mãos infligidas

São profundas demais

As chagas da vida

Esta vida

São profundas demais

As chagas da vida

Esta vida

São profundas demais

Puzzle

Puzzle

Somewhere

So long ago

We were full and glad

We used to believe

In life after death

In good upon evil

Sometime

So far away

No one felt apart

Nothing was left behind

Our bonds were closed

Our lives were complete

But everything changed

When we start thinking

This is not enough

This is not enough

This is not enough

Ref.

Now we’re empty vessels

A yin without yang

A flame without air

Now we’re a bloody joke

Greedy hands with no money

Hungry mouths with no food

Now we’re a damn puzzle

Always with a missing piece

Always with a missing piece

Somehow

We cut off satisfaction

Changing the rules of the game

We made a pack with the devil

And there is on us the blame

Gluttony, luxury, sloth

To make you stop pray

Vanity, envy, greed

To win the day

And wrath to sealed our way

Ref.

Now we’re empty vessels

A yin without yang

A flame without air

Now we’re a bloody joke

Greedy hands with no money

Hungry mouths with no food

Now we’re a damn puzzle

Always with a missing piece

Always with a missing piece

We can’t be fulfilled

Like an incomplete puzzle

Forever we’ll have a hole

Like an incomplete puzzle

We mess up

Like puzzles

Now we’re empty vessels

A yin without yang

A flame without air

Collect the pieces

Like puzzles

Now we’re a bloody joke

Greedy hands with no money

Hungry mouths with no food

Put them all together

Like puzzles

Now we’re a damn puzzle

Always with a missing piece

Always with a missing piece

Wait for the picture

Like puzzles

Always with a missing piece

Always with a missing piece

Like puzzles

Always with a missing piece

Mute Scream

Mute Scream

We are

Blank cards in a poker table

We’re free

As much as a string puppet

We spoke

Just like a broken record

While the world falls apart

You sit at the coffee staring

Doing nothing

Claiming for nothing

While the war blows up

You turn on the TV and watch

Changing nothing

Understanding nothing

And deep, deep inside

Your soul yells the injustice

But your mouth

Just says a mute scream

Ref.

‘Cause we are

Blank cards in a poker table

We’re free

As much as a string puppet

We spoke

Just like a broken record

We don’t believe

We don’t mean

We don’t act

We don’t scream

We don’t believe

We don’t mean

We don’t act

We don’t scream

And once again you here

Like a spectator in the theatre

You already know the play

Is called “don’t say”

You already know the cast

There are the “don’t ask”

Ref.

‘Cause we are

Blank cards in a poker table

We’re free

As much as a string puppet

We spoke

Just like a broken record

We don’t believe

We don’t mean

We don’t act

We don’t scream

We don’t believe

We don’t mean

We don’t act

We don’t scream

And when your soul yells the injustice

Your mouth says a mute scream

Ref.

Kiss the Floor

Kiss the Floor

We waste, we waste

We cut, copy and paste

Every single day

We break, we break

We lie, hide and stake

No gratitude

No shame

No conscience

No blame

Selfish and proud

We’ll fall down on the ground

If we don’t open up our eyes

If we don’t realize

Life is a miracle that everyone lose

Ref.

So now you’ll say

I’m glad I’ve reach this day

Get down on your knees

Be thankful for the air you breathe

Raise your hands to the sky

Be thankful for get that high

Cry of joy

‘Cause you’re alive

And do it like

If you kiss the floor

Innocents and ignorant

Too much focused in ourselves

To see that we’re living a bless

That too many turned in to a mess

Ref.

So now you’ll say

I’m glad I’ve reach this day

Get down on your knees

Be thankful for the air you breathe

And do it like

If you kiss the floor

We live with

No gratitude

No shame

No conscience

No blame

It got to change!

The Wrong Mirror

The Wrong Mirror

Ref.

We’ve been looking in the wrong mirror

Chasing a golden fantasy

We’ve been blind after all

Wearing masks of lies

Bought with proud and prejudice

We’ve been fooled ourselves

By looking in the wrong mirror

In the wrong mirror

Face it

The truth of our heart

Can’t be wear dressed and painted

The beauty of our soul

Can’t be seen in the outside of us

Believe me

We waste too much time

We waste too much faith

Ref.

We’ve been looking in the wrong mirror

Chasing a golden fantasy

We’ve been blind after all

Wearing masks of lies

Bought with proud and prejudice

We’ve been fooled ourselves

By looking in the wrong mirror

In the wrong mirror

Face it

The essence of our life

Never was an expensive perfume

The reflect of our body

Doesn’t say anything about us

Believe me

We waste too much money

We waste too much hope

Ref.

We’ve been looking in the wrong mirror

Chasing a golden fantasy

We’ve been blind after all

We waste too much of us

By looking in the wrong mirror

Too much of us

Today, Tonight

Today, Tonight

Shut up, look at me

Nothing’s like it’s suppose to be

And all the lies you’ve told

Are spinning around in the storm

Above a new life yet to born

You crossed out this day

But it was someone’s prayer

You wait for the wounds of a fight

But it is life that’s coming up tonight

So stand up and make it right

Today, tonight

Ref.

Today, tonight

Everything is gonna be alright

Come on, say yes

Life it’s not a damn bless

You screw, you’re out

You failed, no doubt

But here, once more

You cry to the core

So stand up and make it right

Today, tonight

Hold on, trust me

There it’s not where you want to be

Take your time to think

About what are your truly beliefs

The streets will always claim for you

And this is not an easier way too

But as revenge lead you to death

Someone is taking his first breath

So stand up and make it right

Today, tonight

Ref.

Today, tonight

Everything is gonna be alright

Come on, say yes

Life it’s not a damn bless

Today, tonight

Head up, no excuses

Everyone saw mistakes and abuses

So stand up and make it right

Today, tonight

We’ll do it right
