LYRICS
As I stand on this street corner and watch these two roads meet i suddenly feel at peace
Maybe its because at my feet lies the intersection of two distinct paths merging at a point of vulnerability
Maybe because its a reminder of you and me, and the blissful bond we once shared
Without a care in the world, my arms wrapped around you to shelter you from the cold
Two souls kept warm by each others company 
Two hearts dancing in the rain playfully
Two minds with the same thing in mind, you want me to be yours and i want you to me mine
I don't know maybe i'm crazy 
Maybe time has finally out played me 
Maybe i've stopped seeing beauty in the little things
Maybe i've stopped appreciating the gift life brings 
Maybe i'm in over my head,
Or maybe i just miss the familiar contours of your body under the chalk white sheets of my bed
I don’t know, maybe this is normal
Maybe i stopped being myself after you left,
Maybe this is all a test
Maybe i failed and i couldn't clean up the mess
Maybe thats why the rain suddenly feels colder on my skin
Maybe thats why whenever i try to apologize i don’t know where to begin or where to end all these things that i typed up in my mind and i wanna tell you but i just cant bring myself to hit "send".
Maybe i fucked up and i won't admit it 
Maybe i'm a coward
Seems like i've got all the time in the world maybe i should do something about it
I mean, every minute feels like an hour
Maybe i'm a fool for distancing myself from you
Maybe thats why i couldn't admit i loved you
Because for some reason i couldn't accept that maybe, 
just maybe,
You might have loved me too.

"Maybe" - A Spoken Word Poem

One of the most difficult pieces I've ever written, and probably the one that I've spent the most time perfecting. I sincerely hope you enjoy. Stay safe, everyone.

"To My Dearest Friend" - A Spoken Word Poem

something i scribbled on my sketchbook when my hands were shaking and my stomach was in knots
background sound is solomon by hans zimmer

ten seconds worth of thought

For the one that got away.
Written and performed by Igor Oro

(Music credit: Dustin O'halloran - "We move Lightly")

LYRICS
I've never had the chance, to tell you how beautiful you look in the moonlight 
how the rays of that starry night hit you in ways that words simply can't describe, but I'll still try. 
They make you seem alive, all that energy you have stirring inside, finds its way onto the surface and radiates from your skin in ways that make the sun look dim...by comparison. 
I've never had the chance to figure out your flaws - see, I don't care about your strengths because it's your weaknesses that make you worth it, it's your imperfections that make you perfect. 
I've never had the chance to wake you with soft kisses, to whisper secrets underneath bedsheets - never had the chance to sweep you off your feet and make you mine, I mean, if heartache were a prison... Lord knows I've done my time. 
I've never had the chance to lie beside you and feel your heart beat, to admire the divinity encapsulated from the top of your head to the soles of your feet - to fight off those endless waves of sleep - to struggle to keep my eyes open because I'm afraid if I close them, you won't be there when I wake up. 
Opening my eyes, you're nowhere in sight, thinking "god damn I'm such a fool.." 
Broken guitar strings make my heart sing out of tune - a distant memory of my past, it seems these words are as close as I'll get to you. 
Like, what am I supposed to do to get you to notice me? I'm right here, and I never left.. I'm just waiting for the day that you take my hand and we go away to a place that's devoid of time and space - where I can wake up each morning to the sight of your beautiful face, effortlessly crafted, immaculately spaced... I guess what they say in that song is true: God really must have spent a little more time on you.

"Never Had the Chance" - A Spoken Word Poem

Interesting note: The first part of this poem is actually part of the first poem I ever wrote. It's never really seen the light of day since then, so I took it and added some stuff and this is what came out. Hope you like it. (Written/Produced by Igor Oro)

"The Door to Happiness" - A Spoken Word Poem

This is a new concept I'm trying out; A poem within a poem. I think it offers an interesting dynamic. Hope you like it. 
Instrumental: "We're All Leaving" -Arcade Fire (From the "Her" Soundtrack)
Lyrics: 
In my dreams i lose the concept of time, its something that i don't really mind because its gonna take me a while to find out everything about you that i can, from the gentle touch of your hands to your toes in the sand of this beach devoid of reality, these brief moments that you've given me have brought me to the brink of insanity, but i simply don't care; your hair swaying with the wind, our beating hearts making up the only sound in between whispers that carry secrets too heavy to be heard aloud. 

You see, in my dreams every touch is gentle and warm, every kiss is filled with bliss, and every word that you say plays back in my head like the most beautiful song; and i struggle to hold on to the memories of the days where we laughed and played under the soft white bed sheets, the sweet smell of your perfume as you entered the room, those times where we would lay beside each other and smile as we stared at the moon, wondering if it was looking back at us and smiling too. 
In my dreams, forever never seems quite long enough. 
So if this is all the time we have, just don't wake me up. 
But in case you truly cant stay, ill leave you with a final poem:

"find me beneath the porcelain stars, amongst fragments of memories that define who we are,
touch me like a snowflake grazes a cheek, feel me like warm sand sinking under your feet,
And like lights that adorn the edges of streets, we touch the hearts of others as they pass through;
People will come in to our lives and eventually they'll leave, but what always remains...is how they changed you."

"In My Dreams" - A Spoken Word Poem

Sincerely yours. (Dakota Wint)

Time / Explaining Depression

This is my debut demo. My first original music to ever make it out in public. It came from a very deep place and i hope it can touch you the same way it moved me creating it. They say you can't fake being real and I just can't fake showing you my heart. This is my Disclosure to The World.
-allysalama

" DISCLOSURE is inspired by Ally's experience of living independently at such a young age. Suffering from such adversity, music has always been his closest companion. We develop the theme of Self-Love throughout the demo. DISCLOSURE symbolizes the publication of his powerful sound, talent and message to the world. This project is the first of many yet to come. It continues to be a journey of a kid from Cairo, filled with struggles, trying to find himself in a city that doesn't sleep. The sound of DISCLOSURE is what could be best described as the emotional rollercoaster he has been through."
