Lyrics:

I gather all my pieces together
to write this lonesome folk tune
That's all I've ever done honey
wish I could retire soon

Cos these notes, cos these notes kill me softly
like cancer flirting with my cells
Moody lyrics give me pleasure
like flesh caressing blades

Come on and take this body downtown, take it – take it underground
water it with a little tragedy, don't hesitate to break it down
It's gonna be reconstructed sometime soon, exactly when I don't know
just save me, fight against fate, tomorrow may be too late
I want you the real you but you treat me to substitute

Where's the sunshine you once promised me
through our fingers runs the sand of time
All vows broken and shattered
each of your words a b-movie line

So my heart turns to, so my heart turns to stone
I feel a little paralyzed
An atrophy grows from inside
and I'm way too numb to cry 

Come on and take this body downtown, take it – take it underground
water it with a little tragedy, don't hesitate to break it down
It's gonna be reconstructed sometime soon, exactly when I don't know
just save me, fight against fate, tomorrow may be too late
I want you the real you but you treat me to substitute

Come on and take this body downtown, take it – take it underground
water it with a little tragedy, don't hesitate to break it down
It's gonna be reconstructed sometime soon, exactly when I don't know
just save me, fight against fate, tomorrow may be too late
tomorrow may be too late
tomorrow may be too late
tomorrow may be too late
I want you the real you but you treat me to substitute

Substitute (ft. Sma Rag Da)

Terra Papagalli (Land of Parrots) was one of the first names given to the land now known as Brazil.

These are stories about mimicry and uniqueness, wishful extroversion and entropic loneliness. It is an album about trying to understand what "home" is and how to interact with it.

TERRA PAPAGALLI is a broken protest record, an unrelatable meme, an account of a childhood far both in space and in time.
It is the Not-So-Great American Folk Record sung in a foreign tongue. But what is foreign after all? And how convincing are the parrot reveries?

Jef Maarawi is a singer-songwriter from somewhere between Brazil, Greece, & Syria.
