I wish I was a bird
I would jump into the sky
I would fly as high as I can go

And when I dropped to the ground
I’m no longer homeward bound
No more tears I have to cry     
If only I could fly

My spirit needs to be set free
To find a place I need to be
If you could only see           
what’s inside of me

And when my wings would tire 
Cadd9
And I had flown   
As far as I could go

My spirit needs to be set free
To find a place I need to be
If you could only see           
what’s inside of me

When I fall from the sky
And I can no longer fly
No more tears I have to cry
If only I could fly

My spirit needs to be set free
To find a place 
I need to be
If you could only see           
what’s inside of me

I Wish I Could Fly

That's me in the corner 
The elephant in the room
People look me up and down
A demon they assume
Outcast and outspoken 
Been swept aside for years
Here I stand tired and broken 
Fighting back the tears

Estranged I have become
Tired of beating on the same old drum
I know I'm not the only one
Who feels the way I do
Estranged I have become
Many things swept under the rug
I'm thinking now the time has come
To say good bye

A sudden wave of emotion
As events from the years
Are now burned from the fire
Turn to dust and disappear
Many questions left unanswered
As I turn and walk away
When I wake up tomorrow
I will see a brighter day

Estranged I have become
Follow the beat of a broken drum 
Now I know I'm not the only one
Who feels the way I do
Estranged I have become
Many things swept under the rug
I'm thinking now the time has come
To say good bye

Starting a new life now all alone
Can't go back now, it's set in stone
Remove my number from your phone
I have my life, you have your own

Smooth it over, not the answer 
Things will never be the same
There's a dark cloud over my head
That always seems to rain

Elephant In The Room

We met at Suzi Wong Bar
You were off your face
You were chugging whisky down
At a rapid pace
You gave me your number
Hoping I would call
We arranged a meetup at the cafe by the mall

But you didn’t show
I’m someone you won’t get to know

You left me high and dry
Well I just met you
But I never got to say goodbye

After waiting for an hour
I walked back to my car
I tried to call you on the phone
To find out where you are
I glanced across the car park
And much to my surprise
There you were, all over,
Some other guy

Well that’s pretty low
I guess I’ll have to let you go

You left me high and dry
Well I just met you
But I never got to say goodbye

You didn’t show
I guess I’m someone you won’t get to know
Well I think that’s pretty low
I guess I’ll have to let you go

High And Dry

SEREMOS SERPIENTES

En otro tiempo en el mismo lugar
Los prohibidos salen a jugar

Invisible caminar
Repara el suelo que acabo de pisar en nombre de

Los dioses, la razón ¿Qué más da si todo es conquista al final?
He sido siervo de nuestra verdad

Y ahora aquí
Esclavo de lo programado
Una cadena se rompe
La criatura responde con su luz

Vuelve
No supe como actuar
Y siempre
Seremos serpientes

Sigo aquí, donde vi 
Otra realidad, mi oportunidad

Perdí, temí 
Otra realidad, mi oportunidad
De ser el calor en su fuego

Ven a mi
No me asustaré, no te asustaré

Vendré a ti
Rodéame con tu cuerpo
Muerde mi cuello
Y arranca el falso miedo

En este tiempo y en este lugar
Solo estoy, desespera esperar
Seguiré viniendo a fantasear

Pero ahora aquí
Esclavo de lo programado
La cadena no se rompe
La criatura se esconde de mi luz

SEREMOS SERPIENTES

Against Time

Do you really know who you’re dealing with? Sometimes things look perfect – too perfect.
Be careful how you judge people, situations… and especially AI. True metal never fakes.

Fake

Sometimes life feels like we’re burning out in place. Doesn’t help much - but good music does. This song is a collab with Overdrive from Brazil.

Overdrive

So Done with Everything

Ink-stained fingers rot in the rain
Paper crowns rust in the flame
Promises choke on a silver tongue
Clockwork lies — tick, tick, done

Marble halls built on borrowed breath
Smiles rehearsed, rehearsing death

(Chorus)
Breakdown, no throne, no saviour
Shatter the mirror they call the law
Breakdown, cut the wires 
Ballots to ash, let the columns fall

Screens glow warm like a plastic sun
Votes get buried before they’re spun
Chalk outlines where the truth once stood
Feed the beast like they said we should

Locked in lines, herded and fed
Freedom framed, already dead

(Chorus)
Breakdown, no throne, no saviour
Shatter the mirror they call the law
Breakdown, cut the wires 
Ballots to ash, let the columns fall

No flags — just scars
No kings — just bars
No gods — no masters
Burn the script — erase the answers

(Chorus)
Breakdown, hear the static
Crowds awake to the sound of claws
Breakdown, No more magic
Democracy bleeds from its paper laws

From the rubble, no saints arise
Just open hands and un-blinded eyes

Breakdown

Ketchup Tears is alternative rock stew focusing on dry humour, nonsense, and profound idiocy (mostly) incorporating nothing super tasty...but when you're poor, the broth is usually the tastiest part of the stew anyways.
