Two worlds
Montauk, NY
Em:
Does it really matter
knowing why I have become
a smiling action figure
trapped inside a crystal ball ?
Watching the plastic fake snow that’s falling down,
bottom-side-up I’m still here, hoping to hear the crashing sound
Look in my world,
Can’t you see I’m trying so hard
To find my way home ?
Can’t you hear me crying through
a wall that I can’t break ?
Will you come and wake me?
Will it disappear?
Will you find the strength to cross between two worlds?
Misplaced and tired
I drift inside a state of mind,
Awake in a nightmare I never asked for
Yet nobody cares
Searching for pieces of a life that’s gone forever
In every word I left unsaid
In every moment you’re not here
Can’t you see I’m trying so hard
To find my way home .
Can’t you hear me crying through
a barrier I can’t break .
Can I stand a chance against the universe?
when into my hands there’s nothing but still rain
Look at my world
I’m so tired to fight against things that I can’t explain
Can’t you see I’m trying so hard to understand ?
Will you come and take me far from all of this ?
Will you sacrifice your world to save mine ?

Exit Strategy
Montauk Lighthouse, Montauk NY
Em:
I’ve been sitting here for quite some time now.
Loud voices all around unknown to me.
A familiar place, yet everything’s different:
A labyrinth that’s made just of a corridor.
And these days,
they are passing through my inconsistency.
And the air that I breathe
seems like poison, corroding what’s left of my feelings.
But I cannot go on anymore.
Every morning I wake up to relive my groundhog day.
Every morning I know I could change the world.
Yet I’m trapped here in this lovely square one.
In this big nothing
I’m a social antichrist.
Just another face
that slowly melts into the darkness
In silence,
I slide in their busy living
Like a ghost in disguise
A tactician of a war
That I cannot understand
And I cannot fight.
Then by nightfall I lie down so damn sure It’s going to change
Doesn’t matter how long I'll keep falling,
I will be moving
Even running in circles,
I’ll be moving
Secretly trying to stay still
so tomorrow everything will be the same.
Cause facing the truth will just destroy forever
this naive illusion that I could be loved again.
There is no tomorrow.
There is no tomorrow.
Where is my tomorrow?
So, where is my tomorrow?

Another World
Montauk Lighthouse, Montauk NY
Em:
I will hold you forever
He said.
And I promise I’ll never
Be afraid
Will you marry me, “Pumpkin” ?
For a moment I knew that
all my dreams were fulfilled
And every morning you will wake
and see me smiling
When you’ll fall asleep I will be there,
for you, for you.
If you fall I will catch you,
He said.
In the mist I will find you
Through the light in your eyes
Cause every moment that I spent with you has saved me
And the broken life I used to live
just disappeared
And I will
Break the moon and paint the skies to see you happy,
I will go through all the universe to find you,
I won’t grab a single flower cause I’ll bring you there.
I’d create another world
For you, for you.
Look at me now
Look at me now
Where are you now?

Nonexistent
Utopia Parkway, Queens, NY
Em:
Floating, carried by the crowd
I’m harmless, sliding through their life
My face, fading through the windows
Her eyes, reflection of myself but she won’t
Talk to me
She looks at me
She’s begging to get back to what it used to be
Talk to me
Please talk to me
She’s trapped behind a glass too thick to get free
People packed like salmons in a river getting nowhere
Craving for attention when they get none
People moving like androids in frenzy for salvation
While I try to reach my own reflection
She won’t talk to me
She looks like me
She doesn’t care about the grayed surroundings
Talk to me please
Ease my falling
I’m scared to look away because I fear she’ll disappear
Look inside the mirror
Who’s the one that you’ll see?
I have looked inside my heart:
I’ve become nonexistent.

Beyond the universe
13 North End Avenue, NY
I - Our own little world
Ab:
I’ll never understand why my life went like this
Time passed by while dreams were growing older
And all I wanted was silenced for another day
Yearning for a chance to find a single reason to believe again
that I'll find my way.
Em:
I’ll never understand this life,
I never really cared
To wait for just one day and start it over
again or save you.
I wish I’d find a better end but things will stay the same
Em+Ab:
So I just had to seal my heart and hide away
In a place you’ll never reach
In a world that can’t exist
today I'm lost in this illusion I made
Em:
Yesterday I thought I had the answers
Yet i’m here trying to give a sense
Trying to understand.
Day by day I’m losing pieces of my life
and my heart had to pay the price
Had to leave me here.
Ab:
Time has left me incomplete,
Left me with more questions
Too stiff to move along I’m lost in time
It’s easy to realize who’s the prey and who’s the foe
If you stand still while someone eats your heart
Reinstate my peace of mind,
Reanimate the carcass I’m becoming
I am too sick to scavenge in between the lines
For fragments of a meaning when there’s none.
Em:
We spend our life just waiting for something special
That we’re craving for and yet we won’t see
If we keep searching utopias rather than real things
Em+Ab
But life then slips away and all your dreams are gone
in every single day you lost.
Be an astronaut in space, Search for dinosaurs in caves,
A musician, maybe a hero.
Maybe Nothing.
Nothing.
Nothing.
Nothing.
II- All my life
Em
All my life I searched for someone to fill that void
Just like you did but In a different world
A world that was nothing but a dream
So I had to disappear and leave you there
Beyond the universe.
Beyond the universe.
Beyond the universe.
In the end I realise I was always here
Right here by your side
So far, so distant.
Em+Ab:
In this world that’s made of clones
We waste our years being what we’re not
And the ones we love just fade away
In a place that’s just a simple state of mind

Lights out
Montauk, NY
Ab:
I have been so deaf for much too long
this voice I hear is now unknown to me
Blinded by the need to avoid your face
I wonder if that was a choice I made
Cause i know that i’d never wanted to
lose our memories,
even the hell you put me through.
I reached the last of me and you have been left out.
There will be another life to see you smiling
There will be another chance for our son
There will be another night where I won’t ever let you go
But the only thing I knew is disappeared
as the last light went out.
I can barely feel the difference now
cause the only thing I hear is my own voice
as it collides on the walls i’ve built all around
breaking everything in a way I can’t control
In the heart of everything
I realize i’m but a shadow
In the end
everything collapses
as my world implodes
All I’ve ever lived for
will be forever gone
And at last i know
That there will never be a life to see you smiling
we will never know how brave would be our son
And we’ll never live another day cause now we reached the final one
And the only thing i see is just your face
as the light goes out.
