I'm rushing! It would be nice
to slow down just a bit!
The green, passing by
memories and lies.
Or just another point of view
of the reality I live in
The bubble I grew up
Listen to it: Pop!
It burns and all hell's falling down
Protecting shield of ignorance
It does not save me from the mess within
Now it's starts to be clear
I'm out of the water
Its not pulling me back
Not rushing, walking, maybe
stop to comprehend
Listen to it:
Pop
It starts to be clear.
The mountains help me
The sea washes my fears away
Not rushing, walking, maybe
stop to comprehend
Listen to it: POP

VERSE
Hey there, later
Time waster
No one will
get the thrill
of getting started
I’m no prophet
I just like to plan
See the future
dissolve the past
I know its hard
The warmth of the bed
is - pulling you back
Dream on baby
Ref:
The massive unrest is taking out of me the best - Take action
The massive unrest waking fire in my chest - Take action
The massive unrest in my throat is burning - HELL - Take action
VERSE2
Hey there, maker
Hear me out now
Leap of faith
The fall I take
To get on the floor
No more “later”
Be here, right now
Tell me what's my drive
Move me to the light
Don’t think just live
The gravity of fear:
Was never real!
- Let yourself feel.
Ref:
The massive unrest is taking out of me the best - Take action
The massive unrest waking fire in my chest - Take action
The massive unrest in my throat is burning - HELL - Take action
Bridge:
Take action Take action Take action 2x
Take action
Ref:
The massive unrest is taking out of me the best - Take action
The massive unrest waking fire in my chest - Take action
The massive unrest in my throat is burning - HELL - Take action

The box of fear is leaking messing up my mind
Chain of silence pushing interaction aside
An outsider / a social freak
Standing/playing my part of lies
Voices whisper freely shutting everything down
The snake is crawling up your spine
Trying to reach the gut heart and mind
Holding us tighter, we cannot breathe
Come on wake up start to believe X2
Can you help me? - Will you save me?
The snake is crawling up your spine
Trying to reach the gut heart and mind
Holding us tighter, we cannot breathe
Come on wake up start to believe X2
Can you help me Jesus?
Will you save me from the beast?

He was born
back In the womb.
Gliding in your blood still and tender.
He did not mean to be part of you
Force shut him down and sealed the soar.
Not facing facts that hurts you more.
Waiting for the time when your guard is down
Hiding as long as needed.
Blocked, he gathered bits of fear and anger.
And then spring arrived, put logic aside - did we know?
I am The monster who lives with you!
You know, I had to, You know, I had to
You know, I had to start the
You know, I had to, You know, I had to
You know, I had to start the
I’m sorry
I’m sorry
I’m sorry
forgive me
forgive me
forgive me
forgive yourself
broken surface, terrible pain.
absorbed panic, lit the plague
widely spread, no immunity
forced lock down, bare with me!
I was the monster who killed you.
The time is now to speak the truth.
Faith, Hope. Love is a remedy.
Take the step and feel empathy.
I am the monster who lives with you!
You and me You and me

Tell me - Why - I’m always bored
And my body’s cold
Tell me - Why - My mind is closed
I can’t see the light
You think my smile won the deal
Truth is I’m cramped for real
Being here is not easy
Distant future is tempting me
I need to rest
Tell me - How - to deal with this
I just need the bliss
Tell me - How - to start the walk
We need to interlock
I found eclipse deep inside
Feelings tied up, mummified
Cutting them loose made me cry
My soul freed has gone to fly
I need to fly
I’m alive
I decide
Shining on and on
Darkness pull your tail back
Fear and hate do not work on me.
They have nothing - On me!
Let me shine for YOU
Shine on me
Shine bright on me
Shine on me
Shine bright on me
Shine on me

Laying low
Just moving slow
Fucked up nature’s law
Greedy snitches
We’ll leave you in stitches
Give us back our waters
The time will come we’ll skin you alive
You don’t own any crown
You are just a reptile
When will you step down?
Listen up
We’re here to fuck
The time is right
To start the fight
Let it out
Don’t wait for it
Rise above oppression
Plan me, baby, one more time
You don’t own any crown
Power Strike
Not standing by
Taking action
Word and friction
He will know
We’re not a Show
This is real
Break the deal.
Won’t you leave us and step down?

Have you seen the news?
Have you heard the cries?
They are spreading lies!
When will you wake up and realize?

Hey brother, mom is dying. I saw you cry, it got me thinking, why do I hold back my tears?!
Hey sister, where's your future child? Yesterday I felt her in my dream.
My world is full of grief and disbelief.
It pulled me down and made me sick,
I could not think clearly!
The gut pushes up to the heart the brain stops, dopamine blocks.
I know we need to connect and start to believe.
Vomit vomit vomit
my world is dying
purging made my fly euphoria high
Vomit vomit vomit, Spit out!
Are you feeling down?
Your body, mind and soul needs you, connect to it and feel the truth!
Why we let the beast feast at our table,
Pushing money and greed into our face?
Why we let the beast feast at our table,
Pushing money and greed into our face?

I will hold you all night long,
whispering soft songs in your ear.
Connecting your spots in the night,
creating signs in the sky.
Looking deeper in your eyes,
walking through your brows,
sliding down on your nose,
napping gently on your lips!
I won't stop till you reach for the sky.
Finding peace around your hips,
Listening to your guts scream for more:
Finding peace!
Collecting scent from your neck,
taking it to the collarbone.
Losing my way gently down,
my hands on your breast and spine.
Caressing your legs, moving slow,
the heat will take us over.
Breathing tighter lighter,
Moaning: more more more!
I won’t stop til I reach for the sky.
Finding peace within myself,
Listening to my voice deep inside:
Finding peace!
