Storms 02:57
lyrics

I'm chaotically calm Naively enough I have no control over the static in the sky Lighting strikes, no matter what, no reason why Suddenly, I'm asking questions I've never had A bunch of simulations run in my head Could be a revelation, sent from somewhere I shouldn't be the only one to get there Visions to other forms of life Never seen before habitats Whole universes now collide Cut endlessly by the time-knife Perspective changing overnight Reality's never been so wild All that, just after a strike My ground is both dead and alive As time goes by, the thunder sounds distract my mind Like a narrator, telling where should I look now Suddenly, I forget where I was going Acknowledge the newest package ordered Although I don't remember wishing more boxes Almost no space and time to curate them all Visions to other forms of life Never seen before habitats Whole universes now collide Cut endlessly by the time-knife Perspective changing overnight Reality's never been so wild All that, just after a strike My ground is both dead and alive Is this enlightenment or just torment? Perhaps it depends on the moment Is this enlightenment or just tourment? Does it depend on the current? Is this enlightenment or just torment? Am I the owner or instrument? Is this enlightenment or just tourment? I don't know, but I'm going with them

Dead 02:57
lyrics

No one gets the stress I'm in They think power made me crazy Overruled by the other with the crown Are we in the same team or not? The cards are sloopy at their chores I wonder if they really want their jobs It's not like I'm being unreasonable For wanting impeccable kingdom I'm heartless for them all They never see the problems I have solved The bureaucracy I'm always involved On a daily basis I do have a lot of heart I wanted the whole land to evolve But the stress poisons my core I guess they want to see me dead (vivat regi, subita morte reginae) (vivat regi, subita morte reginae) (vivat regi, subita morte reginae) (vivat regi, subita morte reginae) When I try to talk, I'm annoying When I keep quiet, I'm omissive When I warn them, I'm bossy Am I wrong? I am, always! If the job around here only gets done When there is a villain on the throne Congratulations, you got yours You've got what you wished for I'm heartless for them all They never see the problems I have solved The bureaucracy I'm always involved On a daily basis I do have a lot of heart I wanted the whole land to evolve But the stress poisons my core I guess they want to see me dead Don't think I'll rest in afterlife I'll be back to terrify All those who didn't want to rise Make this whole kingdom shine (vivat regi, subita morte reginae) (vivat regi, subita morte reginae) (vivat regi, subita morte reginae) (vivat regi, subita morte reginae)

Vaudeville 02:26

I thought I'd be prepared for this at this point In the lion's den, facing the stares, alone Would they understand if I had to go back home To get the notes I left, forget them somewhere, next to my tome No option but improvisation I have to dance to every music Even the songs I've never heard Can't leave the stage unless I amused them With my skills or my suffer Either they're grooving or they're booing I have to keep my composure You never know who's in there watching A Hollywood scout, who knows? I thought I wouldn't be on stage for that long Or I'm doing great or the next act isn't done (Hurry up!) Every rest of material I had is already gone And I can't say anything that can send me to prison No option but improvisation I have to dance to every music Even the songs I've never heard Can't leave the stage unless I amused them With my skills or my suffer Either they're grooving or they're booing I have to keep my composure You never know who's in there watching A Hollywood scout, who knows? So, boss, what do you have to say? Did I nailed in my very first gig? He says nothing, now I'm worried I'm not fired, at least that's worth it

I know you're hungry, but I want you to see, to look To stare, wonder, fantasize about my flavors Flavors so foreign to me I couldn't understand at first Adaptei, agora é meu e de mais ninguém While you're thirsty for pleasure I long for things I don't even know yet I'm not looking for gold, before you ask Quero que o meu rastro seja valioso para quem quiser I can be the embodiment of art for the gentry I can be an overpriced draft of a painting I can be both distasteful and the masterpiece Ask anyone around here, you'll see many worlds coexist In a hot dog world, full of glory hounds I'm holding my horses while I ride them around Trying to point out the elephant in the room Not to kill two birds, but to leave the stone out of my way I'm not even forcing curves and shapes For the sake of making them Podem não fazer sentido pra você Porém eu nunca me expressei tão bem I can be the embodiment of art for the gentry I can be an overpriced draft of a painting I can be both distasteful and the masterpiece Ask anyone around here, you'll see many worlds coexist Minha luta não é bélica ou pra ser popular Nem pela beleza recatada e do lar Proporções não me chamam tanta atenção Padrões servem desde que não matem intuição Tenho campos esperando por flores E não adianta eu querer importá-las Tenho de respeitar o bioma, as águas Não é do céu que desabrocham os amores I can be the embodiment of art for the gentry I can be an overpriced draft of a painting I can be both distasteful and the masterpiece Ask anyone around here, you'll see many worlds coexist

I've always wanted to meet them I've always wanted to greet them Why don't they come out? They brag about exploration But never talked to our nation What is it about? We're not here to judge Neither to be your saving grace We just want to be good neighbors If you ever feel misunderstood Please correct us, is not our goal To be invasive in any way It would be nice if we talked to each other Just to pass the time We have different ways of agriculture Our planets aren't alike And I like that a lot I've always wanted to meet them I've always wanted to greet them Why don't they come out? They brag about exploration But never talked to our nation What is it about? Their silence freaks me out We're not here to compete We want no fights around here To see who's more civilized We think progress is achieved When we're willing to see How different we are Use the strength and weakness from each other To improve both of our lives We have different ways of seeing the Universe You want to see the dance from distance But you're dancing anyway I've always wanted to meet them I've always wanted to greet them Why don't they come out? They brag about exploration But never talked to our nation What is it about? Their silence freaks me out Just let me know If you need something Just let me know If you want to cry I understand You don't really know me No hurries I'll be here anytime you'd like

Legion 02:47
lyrics

I don't see a hero in you All that I see is a thief I can see all things that you do I know why you barely sleep The guilt consuming your mind Still, I'm not satisfied I want to revenge every hour You've been where you shouldn't You should think twice before deciding to invade a sacred tomb Keep your wonderings in the books at your home We'll remember from now on what you stole in the dead's room So don't think the curse will ever be gone We are a legion We'll keep coming for you It's true You're not brave, you're just a fool We both know, we both see it How can't people see through Your smile and sweet gestures? The guilt consuming your mind Still, I'm not satisfied I want to revenge every hour You've been where you shouldn't You should think twice before deciding to invade a sacred tomb Keep your wonderings in the books at your home We'll remember from now on what you stole in the dead's room So don't think the curse will ever be gone I hope you understand the risk you're taking Next time you catch a flight to invade a new temple People will say you're getting smarter each time But if you were wiser, mistakes wouldn't be in your mind We'll keep coming for you It's true We are a legion

Neo Prometheus 02:42
lyrics

Good soldiers don't need explanation They follow orders with no hesitation I wonder what I'm gatekeeping right now What this magic thing is holding inside? I've heard rumors there could be tons of blessings But my superiors say the artifact is cursed It's not my goal to rebel against my masters I'm just wondering what it could be Will I be dooming the world if I slip? Would I be doing a favor? Releasing whatever there is Am I being irresponsible? Is it worth the risk? Tartarus is full already Of good-intended peeps Great heroes are full of motivation They'll fight any monsters with no hesitation Could I be punished by the gods? But celebrated by humanity? Is it all part of Zeus' plan Why am I so torn about this? Will I be dooming the world if I slip? Would I be doing a favor? Releasing whatever there is Am I being irresponsible? Is it worth the risk? Tartarus is full already Of good-intended peeps Am I a hero or a villain in the making? Perhaps a hero for avoiding the chaos Perhaps a villain by my inaction Am I a hero or a villain in the making? A hero for saving Hope after all A villain for disrespecting the gods

After Lamp 03:00

So many wishes So many witnesses So many viewsets But which one are mine? So many wishes So many witnesses So many viewsets But which one are mine? I've always wanted to be free I guess my wish just came true But I never thought after it The lack of chains makes me feel nude Now I understand each and every person I've met In the face of great power, greater the chance to make a mess I'm stressed, I'm overwhelmed By all the possibilities If I got three wishes to myself What would they be? So many wishes So many witnesses So many viewsets But which one are mine? So many wishes So many witnesses So many viewsets But which one are mine? I know how wishing is dangerous I've seen it pretty well in ugly times It could mean I'm way more prepared But I don't know the nature of my desires Now I understand each and every person I've met In the face of great stakes, lower the chance to be selfless I'm stressed, I'm overwhelmed By all the possibilities If I got three wishes to myself What would they be? So many wishes So many witnesses So many viewsets But which one are mine? So many wishes So many witnesses So many viewsets But which one are mine? Is it mortal nature To not know what we really want Or even admit what we really need? Is it mortal nature To be mesmerized by fancy fonts And ignore what the sentence means? So many wishes So many witnesses So many viewsets But which one are mine? So many wishes So many witnesses So many viewsets But which one are mine?

Minimalismo 02:58
lyrics
buy track
Há vários fins em um começo Vários começos em um fim A cada mil passos, um tropeço Entre arbustos, um jasmim Acreditando em absolutos Desandei, perdi meu rumo Focando em maus atributos Negativos em suprassumo Inversos a se encontrar Opostos, a trabalhar Para enfim chegar Em equilíbrio Yin Yang a se formar Parando de brigar Vida a simplificar Minimalismo Vários começos em um fim Há vários fins em um começo Acostumado com a vida assim Ao ponto do imprevisto dar medo Acreditando em absolutos Via destruição como o fim de tudo Inversos a se encontrar Opostos, a trabalhar Para enfim chegar Em equilíbrio Yin Yang a se formar Parando de brigar Vida a simplificar Minimalismo Não faz sentido Querer extremo calor ou frio Olho distorcido Visões de fatos fictícios Quero mais é ampliar Minha noção, meu olhar Mais próximo de chegar Ao minimalismo
