I just can't believe it darling
I just can't believe it darling
Looking at your eyes like
How do you play with me, babe
Trying to figure out the way you smile
Won't you please let me be your reality?
If I close my eyes, you can't reach me
If I lose my breath I know you can teach me
How to fly
If you close your eyes, I can't reach you
But if you hold my hand you'll feel all the beauty
I see in you
Oh I know it's true, this love so new
Can't feel my hands, my feet, my head
When I'm next to you
And you're shy
Oh don't you see the ecstasy
My heart is flooded in emotion
When you're holding me
Won't you try
Such a spark
In the dark
And I want you, I want you with me
Do you feel?
This is real
Close your eyes and you'll see
You're lying next to me

Temple

In a temple for too long
Stood a woman all alone
Frozen through the days and nights
Of all lifetimes’ fears and fights.
She is there waiting for me
To bring life and set her free
Maybe she’s a memory
Of what I could be.
Somewhere behind the layers and beliefs
I found the fountain of it all.
The hidden rooms and corridors
The iron gates, forgotten doors
Wait for the key to bring in light,
To see again the miracle of life.
Somewhere behind the layers and beliefs
I found the fountain of it all.

River In The Sea

Salted freckles make me smile
The loving sea brought you to me
You taste like Christmas in July
Being nurtured, safe and sound
Thank you for what I found
I can give, receive, believe
You're my sky, my solid ground
My heart is filled with joy
Reality is clear
How could I hope to find
Something so dear?
Today I only care
About the truth I see
No future and no past
You're heaven's gift to me
I will love you always
Like a flower loves the sun
Like the angels know the truth
I found everything in you
I will love you always
Like the birds that love the dawn
Sing their hearts out to the sun
Your song blesses everyone

Mind Games
05:11
|

|
The stillness of the notes until they’re played
The meaning of the world until they’re said
The power of the shapes until they’re made,
Listen. They never fade.
All twisted and confused, I never ask.
I sit here and refuse
The one thing that leads the way.
Sparkles in the dark, echoes of light
Feel so right.
The mind always says that it knows how it goes, it flows, but don’t listen,
I swear it’s just noise.
Expecting to find all the truth left behind, rewind, connecting the dots and align
Looking for a sign.

Hazy Eyes
05:30
|

|
Perspectives change two at a time
No time to make mistakes.
Countless thoughts invade my mind
Who knows what I’ll find?
I know I want to be here,
Allowing my thoughts to come out
Be so sincere.
Oh, the unknown in front of me
Whispers endless poetry.
So much noise, I cannot speak
I am strong but sometimes weak.
A constant distance, unsettling patience,
Footsteps guiding no one.
Fears may come but I’ll be fine
One question may have many answers
That’s so sublime; to give a deeper meaning
To what may come
To feel you’re a child of the sun.
Hazy eyes obsess me
Shining stars possess me
Flowers caress me
Universe, undress me.

Round Dance (Chapter I)
07:03
|
|||
|
Again and again
Time finds us embracing each other's smiles and sighs
Not caring
Again and again
Morning - I wake up
Our eyes so tired of sleep
Conversations that went deep
We walk the day
Talking foolish things
Surrounded by noise
And what it brings
Responsibilities follow like a loyal dog
Guiding us through the smog
We care too much about tomorrow
Isn't that pure sorrow?
We care too much about tomorrow
Isn't that pure sorrow?
We stay next to the bus stop
Contemplating important things
Like the wet pizza box
And our deepest feelings
The spiral dances us, we can do nothing but accept
Someday our laughters will echo in the minds of some others

Round Dance (Chapter II)
05:35
|
|||
|
Free your union from the body's eyes
Come what may
The water won't change its way
My thoughts have been long forgotten.
I thought I knew what losing means
But I had never lost you
I'm through but my love lives through you
I thought I knew what losing means, I thought I knew
I still see your smiles
From miles above they look like rays of light
So pure and bright your heart is still
And I am still - flowing, quite scared but somehow knowing
Time will find us again.

Shadows of shattered peace
The smell of the night brings me back to you.
What good is sleeping?
Only weeping afraid I’ll degrade
My dreams are there to dazzle me
Out of reality.
I’m guilty, I lost track of my act
I want to fight mortality, but there’s no one to guide me
No one to judge me,
This place is empty.
Who created this comedy?
Sadistic, more like a tragedy
I’m ready to deliver a message that was sent to me
But death pervades my sanity.
Our steps synchronizing
I can still see us walking
Mesmerizing figures locking eyes
We don’t even realize
What you see is what you got
So trust your gut.
I crave rest, but expectations got the best of me
I guess you were right when you were telling me
That everything is as it should be.
But death pervades my sanity.

Round Dance (Chapter IV)
03:20
|

My love, how I miss you
Even though you’re right here,
Under my skin.
They say, “Till death tear us apart”
But death only brings us back together.”
Like this, all his days have passed.
Grace.
A sit at the table of uncertainty
The wave is there to catch me,
I’m waiting for my sign
But my head’s underwater
And I don’t have much time.
Ease.
I am only beginning
Humble, facing my sinning.
The table - a feast of possibilities.
The ritual dance moves the unmovable
What will I remember?
The nurturing breast that feeds our consciousness,
The all-loving womb of endless growth,
The sight of pure happiness
So far from what I used to know.
Transitions.
The middle of it all, so warm
As the earth keeps on spinning
I am only beginning to rise and rise and rise
Is this the end?
No, I am only beginning.
I face the truth with a smile,
‘Shall we?’
And we dance
Holding hands, spiralling,
Bathing in rays of bliss,
A neverending sacred kiss.
Ecstasy, what did I miss?
