1. The Choice
As a stone endures time
I was strong and unfailing
And everything seemed right
Just a one-way road crossed my mind
‘till the call of the Wise Man
he looked at me, captured my eyes then said:
“As you’ll open your eyes
You will face the worst enemy
You could ever think out
No, please don’t ask me why.
You will hear a dream screaming so loud
As you never dared to think.
Hold me close and fall in my hand
This is coming over
Just take a listen to the colour of your soul
It’s coming over
Hold me close and fall in my hand and
remind it’s not easy, it’s the choice about what should be
As I open my eyes
I find myself hiding
And I can’t tell why
A haunting thought fills my mind:
Did I ever think about my life as something I control?
“You’re falling, you should know you can resist your pain
It’s not late for you
For breathing, you’re the one who I trust in
Please don’t surrender yourself!
Does it worth suffering hard?
It’s the first time I feel beaten
And it won’t be the last
Better forgetting my past
But now I really need time
it’s the choice about what should be
I know I have a dream
I never had such a painful dream
But it’s my life and once again
I have so many things in my hands.
2. My Worst Enemy
What I see is what I want to say
I can’t listen to that deep danger you reaveal
How can I fly with broken wings?
I can’t feel right now your words inside of me
What Isee is what I want to say
Should I forgive myself all my faults?
How do I begin to shout my scream?
Maybe this time I’ll let myself cry out my scream
What I see is what I want to say
I’m running against a wall but
The wind keeps me far
I’m wondering what I want to do
Crying alone is nothing new
I’m laughing against a crowd
Mirrors make me grow
Sorrow steals my energy
I am my worst enemy
Should I scream before I will lose everything?
Should I just turn my way?
Shuold I scream before everything breakes?
What I see is what I want to say
Why shuold I change to feel just a little better than this?
How do I begin to shout my scream?
Maybe this time I’ll let my self accept all my faults
3. Learning
What has she learnt this time?
Feelings are feelings and mind is mind.
What has he learnt this time?
You cannot hide what you have inside.
Falling again into their minds
They can’t see another chance
How will they learn in time
the way to see this endless fight?
Now alone and far
Things look easier and calm
And get her realize
They are feeding each other
with illusions and
emptiness they cannot fill
But here there’s only a man
And her woman is hiding again.
“I don’t wanna hear you crawling for all of your life
I wanna ask and answer”
“leave me crawling you know it’s my life”
Breath, you’re fading
I feel your warning
You really need to learn
Peace and weakness,
And thoghtlessness will be your guide
I pray that you clear your sight.
What has she learnt so far away?
Maybe there’s nothing left to learn
What has he learnt so near?
Maybe there’s nothing left to fear.
Now there’s nothing strange
And there is nothing left to find
Your balance is just inside
It’s not so near and not so far.
Breath, you’re fading
I feel your warning
You really need to learn
Peace and weakness,
And thoghtlessness will be your guide
I pray that you clear your sight
I know you look wiser
And now that you’re learning
This now gives you real ties
Peace and weakness
Will show you something more free
I pray that you feel your needs
4. Roles
I’m wasting all my life
I’m wasting all my life trapped in my role
What about my next move?
Who writes my story?
I’m wasting all my life
I’m wasting all my life trapped in my role
What about my next cue?
Where do I learn it?
Maybe from you?
You, my reason of living
You, my tear
You’re near, so near, I’m sure
I’m wasting all my time
I’m wasting all my time fitting my role
Do I deserve it?
That’s why I’m searching for you
You, my reason of living
You, my tear
You’re near, so near, I’m sure
Now I feel
That’s for you
It’s plenty of time
That I play my part
Now I’m awakening and I look around
Surely you’ll keep on waiting
‘till I spread my voice to tell my cue
Do I really wish to feed your hopes?
Maybe I will finally care for mine
5. Shelter
Looking in your troubled eyes
Words leave my voice
What I feel is like I’m in hell
Is it really you? Is this what I might expect of you? I’m
Looking in your troubled eyes
The fault is in your soul
What I did reflects what I am
But I don’t want to leave you here
In this moment I try
To see what is burning those eyes so I stay
Two steps behind
And as it used to be
You rebuild your mental shelter
Looking in your troubled eyes
Words leave my voice
What I feel is like I’m in hell
It seems to be that you want me to understand the rage but
Looking in your troubled eyes
I can’t believe your words
Can I shelter what I am?
That’s all meaningless
In this moment I try
To keep on controlling my mind
Those eyes are strangers to me
And as it used to be
You build a shelter
You said I’ve been leaving your heart alone
But I was just looking for a better time to reveal my thoughts
You said I’ve been leaving your heart alone
But your heart is not listening
So now I hide and I would
seem to fall without words
but it is that I hate that
fire in your eyes
So now I hide and I would
seem to be falling
So now I hide and It would
seem that I’m falling
Suddenly I’m mirrored in your eyes
My balance
My principles
My true love towards my pride
The risk I’m still running against
My will
My dream
My real fear of what may be
My story
My memory
My own point of view, my faith
You feel like laughing while
I’m breakin’ down
My rage is the way I ask
6. The Other Choice #33
As a stone endures time
I was strong and unfailing
And everything seemed right
Just a one-way road crossed my mind

You will hear a dream screaming so loud
As you never dared to think.
Hold me close and fall in my hand
This is coming over
Just take a listen to the colour of your soul
It’s coming over
Hold me close and fall in my hand and
remind it’s not easy, it’s the choice about what should be
As I open my eyes
I find myself hiding
And I can’t tell why
A haunting thought fills my mind:

But it’s my life and once again
I have so many things in my hands.
