Something To Say

Something to say!
I just want to find a place where there is no lie and hate.
Now I just want to find a place where I can live in peace.
Now you ask me why, If here I can get all that I want
But the answer is too easy to be found and I will tell you the reason why.
So many people don´t know what they really are,
Following fashions without feeling the reason why.
Prejudice, selfishness are the only thing people share today.
There´s lack of respect between women and men,
Racism around the world and nobody cares.
The violence in the streets is hard to scape.
All this madness I just can´t understand.
When will I get peace?
Everybody is living into the illusion.
For a simple problem they make a big confusion.
A real feeling. For money you throw it away.
All these material greed has no sense.
Politicians continue talking about justice
And you still believe in their promises.
With laws and laws, words and words,
This motherfuckers don´t give solutions.
You are always trying to get the perfection buying cars,
Houses just for satisfaction but you will always fall into frustation.
Maybe you forgot your self conviction.
The world where you live is not for me!
You´re stuck on the wall for your own blame.
And that´s all that I can say:
Self conviction is the key.
Just be yourself and don´t follow the trends.
Just raise your head and face it up: the reality.
Try to take a stand and keep it the same.
And don´t be part of the problem.

Where´s The Justice?

What else will have to happen to make you open your eyes?
Will you have to feel it yourself to take away this disguise?
You don´t need to go far away to see the bad things you watch on your TV
And if you take a look around you someday,
you will see they´re very close to you.
The police behind death squads, animals being slaughtered by human hands.
Corruption among politicians while people live in subhuman conditions.
So, now I´m gonna ask you:
What´s the point of so called democracy if it´s just in defense
Of the powerful and to keep this inequality?

Seed

So much time wasted desiring more than we need.
A raising pain created.
A burning flame called greed.
Can we stop this fire before it becames higher.
I might see it falling apart as soon as an inner struggle starts.
My own desire of being free has ended inside of me.
I have fed that small seed and now there´s a tree.
Like a cancer it continues growing
I must stop this disease because there are hopes for me
To strive for and dreams to release.
The war is now declared and I must stop and think.
Simplicity must defeat my desire to want everything.
I know it´s not so easy to purify my soul.
The most powerful weapon: always keep me under control.
And when the rot tree disappears and no seed inside remains
We can say "this war is over. It´s time to begin again"
You are still in doubt. "How to make it work out?"
Never say "never" to each other.
Let´s live and grow together.

Blind

I´m tired of your behavior and the things you say.
I´ve had enough and I won´t follow your pathetic ways.
It seems each day you´re more and more blind
Because you´ve always accepted but never asked why.
Your dad said: "You must be a real man".
So be a failure and use a women however you can.
Afraid to be yourself since the day you were born.
This stupid education you´re based on.
The industry of sex tells you what´s best and you agree
Because you need to be like all the rest.
A sincere relationship.
This is not what I see because I just can feel lack of respect and no honesty.
There´s nothing you can buy. Your life is a lie.
Two pieces of meat. The love you delete. I won´t participate!
I know I´m also commiting mistakes but I will never falls down in this senseless state.
I will always try to get the best of me.
Self control, I know, this is the key.
My message is not so hard to understand:
We must try the best we can because in this world based on bodies
Respect is over and a very few people still think about love.

More Hope

I spend so much time thinking about new ways to bring new people to our scene.
It´s time to unit the youth of today and break down the barriers of prejudice and hate.
We need respect and organization to avoid falling on the same mistakes.
With an honest attitude in every situation there will be no place for liar and fakes.
Unfortunately, we have to regret for all those people who left us back.
I wonder if it´s fear or a little information...
Maybe it is just lack of integration But we can´t let it put us down.
We must overcome it and we must do it now.
In all hard times I want to see positive thinking and unity.
More friends. More hope.
We don´t need to stop dreaming but it´s time to wake up and face the facts.
There are a lot of ways to show your feelings but the most important is to act.
We´re young and full of energy.
Conscious about the problems of the world.
We need to built a very strong scene.
We need to make friends because this is our hope.

Waking Up

Asking myself once more. This time I just can´t ignore.
The blindfold in my eyes now is gone.
The fight lasted years but the truth won.
I´m waking up.
I didn´t want to see that false concepts have confused me.
"The struggle" now goes on inside and I´m in chains I can´t run or hide.
The end of the road. I watch it closer now.
The distance of hope, I watch it falling down.
Just distant dreams not hipocrisy.
Those small eyes expressed only sincerity.
But time ticks by and now it seems clear.
It was just wasted time as it may appear.
We must learn with life, tough strife.
Will my envy overcome my humility?
Now I found my late and I need strenght.
What once was navity, turned into reality.

Who´s To Blame?

You spent all your time doing things that wasted yourself.
If at least you´re tried...
Maybe you would not need to cry
But now you´re lost in your little world without friends,
Without trust and without hope.
Your dreams are broken and only the nightmares remain.
I try again to help you but there´s a bondage on your eyes
That you don´t want to take out.
If at least you´ve tried...
I don´t want to change your life because I have got my own way.
The life has a special meaning to me.
Maybe you don´t think so anyway.
Now you can see what you´ve done!
Envy, greed and a world full of hate.
Who´s to blame? All this is your blame.
Just take a look around.
Just take a look at the mirror
And let me know if you´re strong enough to face up
And see the truth about yourself.

Open Your Eyes

You think drinking is cool.
I stay aware and you call me fool.
You say that I will never be accepted
But I think being stupid is worse than being rejected.
You smoke your cigarettes and don´t even care about the consequences.
You´re not only destroying yourself
But showing that you don´t care about anyone else.
Take a straight look at your behavior and what you preach.
You say you want to live free
But being irresponsible freedom is something that you´ll never reach.
All I said to you and all I think may not be a solution for this society
But behind this simple words there´s a real feeling to change this reality.
Open your eyes and see the world around you.
Open your mind!
What the hell do you want to prove?
Open your eyes because the change starts within yourself.
Open your mind and step forward a better world.
