Old Smiles, Old Names
03:37

Yet you looked just like a friend
Parties and dinners without any cracks
Sure, that period was a blast
We called our names and put a smile in ‘em
Our words were always clear
Straight to the point, WE’d never cheat a friend
Sure, you carried as a fake
We called your name and put a smile in it
Olds Smiles, Old Names
What we said was what we did
Things you pretend, Things that we deeply meant
Not a choice that we regret
We called your name, but you were just a fake
You were just a fake
Come away from that thick fog
At least until the light keeps showing you around
Just the ground where you walk on
will only tell you if their justice is right
Come away from that frame we don’t like
Come away from that scene and don’t mind
Back to your aims
Straight to my aims

Young and clear, He left to the province
A “job” in wait, it was more than a surname
The family he left, his old city and his old friends
But he had his shell: his wife and his firm strenght
Sounds like said: I wish I were like him
Sounds like crass: You’ll never be like him
A factory man, no plush rooms in hotels
He worked like slaves, bringin’ home his own daily bread
He found new friends, made a home for his children
No argument, at the end He’s a good man
Sounds like said: I wish I were like him
Sounds like crass: You’ll never be like him
All my friends, I wish you all the same
Although my mates, there’s no one like my dad
But as a lion He’d jump in the fire
If someone tries to trick his friends
Yet as a Father, He was strict as required
If one of his two kids deserved
IF they deserved

Miles Are NOT Right
04:59

Far lands charm, callin’ men like bee hives
And the words ran fast, They left you behind
Things that lie, speak the language of eyes
Makes no sense to hide, So give up a try
Tremblin’ with the cold we’d face up
When our paths would split up
To never join back
Tremblin’ since our two worlds met up
Once more for “that” first time
That will never be back
Knew it was hard, yet the callin’ of life
Spoke the words of a drive, To live and not die
Foster that tie, keeps each other alive
And when miles will divide
We’ll know they’re NOT right

The Girl in the Dumps
04:25
|
|

For God’s sake, are you kidding or you’re real
Give yourself a minute to land back on earth
Can’t believe what you’re saying
This is mad, you’re insane
You can’t change that way
From the cradle to a grave
Though I tried to stay, I had to give up
Yet I looked for ways to let your hair down
The girl in the dumps
Tiny yous on parade on red walls at your place
Analyse this please, nothing good can be said
Felt like tread on eggs
Overthink, Overcare
Lived your world with no bridge
Thick, wide walls to defeat
Though I tried to stay, I had to give up
Yet I looked for ways to let your hair down
Even changin’ myself would never be enough
It was way too hard to be in your dumps
In and Out of your life
It was such a winding path
Yet I wish you all the best
For I hope you will be fine
We’d just better be apart

From Hero to Zero
03:29
|
|
||
Strangers now, things like they’ve never been
It feels like an ocean suddenly disappeared
Unfamiliar now, you walk but you can’t be seen
Yet once those same two eyes, they had nothing to bewitch
From hero to zero, a set route you can’t prevent
When you give what you get but
They can’t get what they’ve asked
I was hero once, whatever I did was clear
I could kill, I could steal but still the best in the ring
I am zero now, minds they change suddenly
Whatever I’ll do now, I’ll always be the worst prick
From hero to zero, a set route you can’t prevent
When you give what you get but
They can’t get what they’ve asked
From hero to zero, a sad route you won’t forget
Well I gave what I had but
I’m a prick that won’t change

Who would’ve ever said
They look like perfect pics of gentlemen
They warm out your full faith
You feel at last you found the rightest man
Tic-toc the sands of time run free
Those restless hands uncover the real thing
You still believe we cannot see
The rotten part you keep beneath your skin
The spleen you fed in me
It makes me feel like I could act like him
The thing is I ain’t that mean
I’d never pay you back with all that shit
We’ll find a better way
To get rid of all the people you reflect
Your time has come
Get off our road

Teachers Won't Learn
04:36

|

I don’t wanna learn
I just don’t wanna throw away my time
All I want is chase that paper
I paid stiff to buy
I ain’t gonna leave
If you’re not doing the dirty work fine
I just want to reap the fruit
That I bought so high-priced
Let’s not pretend to be
Much better than it is
You can pay for your degrees
But not for good breeding
Noone else as bad as some teachers
Who soon forget their own role and their mission
Noone else as base as some teachers
Who don’t embrace their real job and their mission
I don’t wanna work
I just don’t wanna throw away more time
All I want is show that paper
Pretending it’s mine
I ain’t gonna live
If you don’t do the job that was mine
You must work as my slave
‘Cause I paid the due price

And You Talk Down to
02:35
|
|
||
Talking down to the man fixing up your car
Talking down to the waitress at the pub
Talking down to the salesgirl at the mall
Talking down to world ‘cause it spins around
Holy crap, why don't you just try and chill out
You just wanna live on but you're never nice
Talking down to your mates 'till you make them cry
Talking down to the ones they once made you high
Talking down to your friends 'cause they changed a lot
Talking down to the world 'cause it's a bad spot
Sometimes we feel like little kids
Playing with magical toys

All My Duds
04:18
|
|
||
It’s always been clear from the start
You said that you could, but you can’t
Likes of grandads at the park
You move but you’re rooted like mast
You fight with the waves that your loved ones create
You’ll finally find out your life is in someone else hands
You blew all the chances you got
You said that you would but you don’t
I would do, I really would
But my words, my purpose I will never keep
I’d be there, I really care
But my words, my purpose
Can’t always be true
I’ll leave to the world my duds
While dreaming of different facts
I’ll see what you can’t find out
My world is built on the sand
