The Tijuana Cantina was a place where Everybody knew 
your name. Oh wait,  that was somewhere else. Seriously, it's a place where we all wanted to be and be seen. You never knew who you would meet. The Music was always Bumpin', the floor was always Thumpin' and the drinks were always cold.

Charter a Venus

NASA tells me: "Mercury retrograde is an optical illusion that occurs when the planet Mercury appears to move backwards in the night sky. In reality, the Earth briefly overtakes Mercury in its orbit, creating a visual effect."

Thanks NASA. That helps. 

But what about when two people think they're in one place but they're in another? And can sometimes a body, celestial or otherwise, look healthy but it's not? Let me know. Thx bro.

Saturn's Winds

I'm catching strays in different ways, my enemies i let them fade, I've played the game pass several stage, they cannot fuck with me anyway.
Celeste thought I walked away I kept my word yet to this day, I cannot blame she saw and aimed I ate my cake and had my way.

I'm in a dark valley bitch I got a shield and a spear on me, confidence worn on me they lied about my arrogance to hold on me. 
set me on fire I'll call Tyla to give me that water, cannot take it no longer got to call me NickCannonMariah.

No one can stop me in this dark valley

I think high of myself the best in the game every penny I'm worth, free spirit rose from deadly occasions to claim I'm alive and well.
Cannot forget about the trials from birth, mama thought i wouldn't make it out here, her mistake was letting me out here, now I'm a menace to her enemies (yeah)

I'm in a dark valley bitch I got a shield and a spear on me, confidence worn on me they lied about my arrogance to hold on me.

DARK VALLEY

LAWLESS

I made this when I felt the world shifting under my feet.
Emotional. Neon. Plugged in.
This one’s for the late-night thinkers.

See Through Me
I’ve been through nights so long they felt like whole lifetimes. The kind where silence presses against your chest and the dark makes you feel like you’re the only person left in the world. I thought I’d learned to live with it. I thought I had to.
Then there was you. You saw straight through the version of me I’d built to survive. You didn’t flinch at the cracks — you traced them like they were part of the design. I didn’t know it was possible to feel seen and safe at the same time.
I don’t pretend this will last forever. Nothing ever does. But maybe that’s why every moment with you feels heavy and light all at once — like I’m holding something too precious to set down, even for a second. If this is only now, then I’ll take now over nothing. I’ll take every second you’ll give me.
I want you to know that I’ve been through hell, and you’ve been the first person to make me believe I wasn’t supposed to stay there. You’ve been the light in nights I thought would never end. And if all I have is this moment, I’ll still give you everything.

SEE THROUGH ME

For all the fallen soldiers and standing veterans.

DEDICADE TO AS ROMA. IN MEMORY OF MAZZOCCHI ALVARO E ZEGRETTI ELENA.

ROMA MIA

"Candy in the Sun" is a sun-soaked 1990s-inspired skate-punk anthem bursting with fast melodic guitars, snappy drums, and dual Swedish teenage vocals in perfect chaotic harmony. It’s a funny, flirty, feel-good love song about that one girl who’s so perfect she makes even the dumbest punks lose their cool.
