Crisis 04:58
Another night turning in my bed Another night watching the minutes pass Looking myself in the mirror Asking me why Why am I like that Questioning myself about life My ambitions and myself Seeing someone who pleases others Without recognizing myself much Just a stranger to tame While hiding me, not to show a weakness The pain’s growing harder and my torments are piling My screams, always louder Trying to live in this new era A material one destroying everything filed with false values It’s up to me to live with that new person It’s after all those nights I get rid of the image pleasing That I can accept I’ll never end this fight I keep scars and lesson

Opening eyes on a new world Discovering fear and insecurity Discovering a beauty so fragile Getting older from your first breath and dying at your last We spend our lives looking back everything amidst us Looking in a fog of illusion on a badly chosen beauty Despite every scream, cry and joy Barely trying to live each second hoping to forget nothing Come on reaper, I’m waiting for you After leaving my mark and seeing my life scroll by I got older all my life to look at a translucent past Cleared by hatred, love and impulsive decisions On my deathbed, surrounded by loved ones I’ll shed a tear full of memories Of those anybody would want to live one last time One last time before closing the light forever The only promise I dare do is to never forget Never forget every face Never forget every moment Come on reaper, I’m waiting for you I’m waiting for my last breath Come on reaper, come tuck me and sing my last lullaby

No Regrets 03:33
You left as violently as a blast of wind You left without even saying a simple goodbye You stayed long enough to teach me a life lesson Thrive without looking back and being anxious with unanswered questions Displease to stop pleasing Not thinking and acting without regretting actions Feeling once alive Feeling every second Feeling every breath Feeling every heartbeat Never be afraid to lift the glass and evade for a night Feeling the body letting go to let the mind evade Displease to stop pleasing Simply getting out of the standards and not caring for tomorrow It’s tonight that abandon starts by playing the loudest It’s tonight that tomorrow stops being Feeling once alive Feeling every second Feeling every breath Feeling every heartbeat I decide to displease to please my life

Every day of my little lifetime I should live amidst people rotting with time Blinded by money and overconsumption A species who called itself evolved It’s with sadness that I see new eras suffer from our mistakes I can’t wait to leave this Earth So I won’t have to lie about the poisoned gift I’ll leave behind A dying planet that screams its misery with natural disasters A civilization that only lives for progress A civilization that takes without thinking of the consequences Despite all those trying to change this unavoidable end Despite all those hoping for a radical change I can’t stop envying my ancestor’s pure air It’s with a fear that I live my last time It’s with hope that I’m watching the sun siring every morning But with regret I see humanity go haywire With regret I see humanity losing all valors With regret I see humanity destroying everything without shedding a tear My only option is to close my eyes Close my eyes to live without disgust of our evolution
5.
Abroad 05:00
Different from birth Without having decided Must live your life between two universes So unique while mysterious You have the chance to be yourself without caring for others A chance that most despise and reject Spend your time living your emotions as they were the last Always take the time to say what’s going in your head I will never regret meeting you You taught me as I taught you I’ve had the chance to see your toughest victories I’ve had the bad luck to see others judging you in your frustrations I’ve have the shame to judge you like those assholes But now, everything is different I can finally separate me from the crowd to love what you are Someone who will always be unique by its complexity We are who we are We’re born as we are Our intelligence is our color You have a mental disease But it’s this disease that makes you a leader A leader who showed me to never judge others
6.
I freeze every time I see generations go I freeze seeing technology dictate people’s life That is based on appearances And that spends without counting A widespread violence since childhood Immoral actions accepted by all A moral crumbling due to lack of knowledge Save parents from their little kings and princesses Forced to obey and buy peace to avoid discipline Teenage girls who don’t know how to dress, showing everything A youth left to itself and despised by adults Drugs within the reach of all, even the younger Psychopaths prowling their next victim for a simple fantasy A generation unable to look in the eyes Unable to maintain a simple relationship based on trust and honesty Unable to live without judging any difference Great minds burning resources to afford a castle Letting die the poorest, wasting money, even shedding a tear A reality devoid of hope A reality that brings a lot of joy and fear I can only hope not collapsing in front every gap of this society It’s by taking a deep breath that I rush to my death in this reality
