Parasites

The earth is still turning / sun is still burning / people are yearning for more / mother is crying / mother is trying / to reach through concrete / but we buried her deep / she only gave us an inch when we asked for a mile / so we burned down her trees / it felt good for a while / now we want more and the fire spreads / we add fuel to the flames / just to cloud our heads / it’s not our fault / it’s how we’ve been taught / we are parasites / it’s not our fault / we follow a master-plan / we take all we can / with our never ending appetite / it’s not our fault / it’s how we’ve been taught / father is grieving / father is leaving / we have killed in his name / and we would do it again / so we pray and we hope he forgives our sins / but the sky is empty as it has ever been / who will conquer the throne / who is next in line / guess we’ve paved the way / for big brother to rise and shine / it’s not our fault / it’s how we’ve been taught / we are parasites / it’s not our fault / we follow a master-plan / we take all we can / with our never ending appetite / it’s not our fault / it’s how we’ve been taught / brother takes his chance / invites us to dance / no need to step out of line / cause we feel safe in his arms / but dressed in shepherd’s clothes / rises the alpha wolf / and we must kneel to the beast / and make sure that it’s pleased / it’s not our fault / it’s how we’ve been taught / we are parasites / it’s not our fault / we follow a master-plan / we take all we can / with our never ending appetite / it’s not our fault / it’s how we’ve been taught

Make It Mine
06:31
|

When we’re on a hunt / you catch everyone’s eye / all I ever seem to catch / is my breath / you are ten feet tall / I’m on my knees / you’ve got it all / and I’m in need / you’re the center of it all / the sun we circle and depend on / like the moon I just reflect / I can’t keep what I collect / your light’s keeping me alive / keeping me from disappearing / and though I never leave your side / I am still just barely breathing / I want to touch your skin / catch a glow / and breathe it in / I want to make it mine / catch a spark / and learn to shine / I want to touch your skin / catch a glow / and breathe it in / I want to make it mine / catch a spark / and learn to shine / learn to shine / to make it mine / to learn to shine / to make it mine

I Just Want To Play
06:28
|
|||
We’ve conquered the world / and sailed the seven seas / revealed all its mysteries / and the treasures that it keeps / these waters are cursed / for now they are asleep / don’t wake the demon / dwelling in the deep / I just want to play / why do you run away? / A heart so big / the world would fit in twice / yet nobody wants it / they’re daunted by its size / 8 arms closing in / you might as well give up / drowning you with their embrace / just to give a loving hug / I just want to play / why do you run away? / Elements colliding / reversed horizon / the fog is blinding / storm is rising / nothing dividing sky from sea / I just want to play / why do you run away?

Dig Me Up

You dig me up / just to kill me again / dig me up / just to throw me back down the hole / you dig me up / just to kill me again / dig me up / just to kill me again / dig me up / dig me up / dig me up / I’m gonna climb up / I got to climb up (this time) / I’m gonna climb up / regain control / got to climb up / and let you go / up, up, up / always up, up up (...)

Turista
06:12
|
|||
Me siento turista / en este lugar / ni una calle / parece familiar / no reconozco la vista / no puede ser mi hogar / cómo si tuviera una llave / que no me deja pasar / no me siento mi misma / me siento fuera de acá / cómo sí alma y cuerpo / no pudieran conectar / aún estoy perdida / aún me arde andar / sigo corriendo / no puedo parar / déjame ya, déjame ir / no hay nada que podrás decir / para que me quede aquí / déjame ya, déjame ir / no hay nada que podrás decir / para que me quede aquí (me quede aquí, me quede aquí) / éste lugar no es para mí (para mí, para mí) / no me puedo quedar acá / tus palabras parecen entrevistas / trato de contestar / pero con boca cerrada / no se puede hablar / detrás de tu velo / espero encontrar / aquellos recuerdos / que me pueda llevar / déjame ya, déjame ir / no hay nada que podrás decir /para que me quede aquí / déjame ya, déjame ir /no hay nada que podrás decir / para que me quede aquí
