Intro (Spoken)
Sticks and stones may break my bones,
But words can grind them to dust.
Your ignorance, greed, and money—
They can’t hold the world forever.

Verse 1
You whispered doubts like they were prayers,
Hung my worth from your crooked stares.
Cut my voice till it barely bled,
But I built a crown from what you said.

Pre-Chorus
We aren’t all stupid, or blind, or unaware,
No matter how much you poison the air.
You built this cage and called it peace,
But we're tearing cracks through every piece.
You wish we’d stay broken, silenced, numb,
But we’re waking up—and you should run.

Chorus
You tried to break what you couldn’t own,
Spoke your curses like sticks and stones.
But every bruise, every shattered crust,
Just fed the fire—I turned to dust.
Not fading out—I became the storm,
Words like hammers, pain reformed.
So speak again—I'll rise, combust...
Your silence now… grinds you to dust.

Verse 2
You call me lost while you worship lies,
Built on flags and blood and alibis.
You preach your truth with iron claws—
Then blame the broken for your flawed laws.
Why are you so brainwashed,
While saying I’m the one who's blind?
I found my soul in the wreckage—
You just lost your mind.

Breakdown / Interlude
I don’t understand why you can’t see…
Why can’t you see…
Why can’t you see…
WHY CAN’T YOU SEE?!
You chain yourself to comfort,
While the world’s set on fire.
You laugh at the ashes—
But still call me a liar.

Phoenix Verse
I am no victim. I am no pawn.
I watched in silence—but that time is gone.
I am a Phoenix,
Born of your abuse.
Inspired by the evil I see in you...
TO BURN. IT. ALL. DOWN.

Final Chorus
No matter what you do,
No matter what you say,
We won’t back down,
Not fade—not today.
We won’t go free ‘til the system breaks,
And the last lie finally shakes.
We are the storm you tried to hush—
Now we’re the ones who grind to dust.

Outro (Spoken / Fading)
I am tired of an ignorant world,
Where people hurt each other...
Blind to the potential.
I’d rather die
If it proves impossible to make a difference.
One day you might realize your errors...
If you survive.

Dust Maker

Hard Rock for peace of mind. 

My inspiration comes from my nightmares.

I tell my stories through my own composed (and improvised) instrumental guitar music, using a combination of acoustic guitars, sometimes supported by orchestral instruments. Some have described my music as meditative, relaxing, and introspective, with a touch of melancholia and a distinctly Spanish flair. Listen for yourself and let me know what stories my music tells you.
